[Late at night, after that very unfortunate attempt to introduce Jedao]
I'm sorry. I overreacted.

Im sorry too. obviously i dont think you have to settle for whoever will have you or whatever

[He's not a drunk as he could have been. Assuming the conversation with Jedao didn't do a complete nosedive.]

[Hakkai is waiting until midmorning to call, for reasons of kindness to a probable hangover. If he were capable of getting really drunk without killing quantities of alcohol that wouldn't be neighborly to anyone else on board, he'd have done it himself.
At least he's now completely sure that the flood is over. He hasn't lost time since the day before yesterday. And...
And he's worried.]
How are you, Gojyo?

How are you, Gojyo?
...Feeling like hammered shit. [We're only talking about the hangover, right? Right.]
Fuck, forget me-- what about you?
[Gojyo should have reached out to Hakkai the moment the flood ended, but he... well.]

Fuck you beat me to it
Me, I want a harem of at least ten hot women all crazy for me
Gimme your pitch for why I should give you your sword
[Gojyo isn't much for research, or planning ahead, but he has at least taken the time to skim through Jun Wu's network posts, as well as Xie Lian's heads-up about him.]

Hello, Gojyo.
I want to chat with you about something. Only good things, I promise.
You want to grab drinks and cards in the lounge or go exploring in the enclosure?

[...Uuurgh. He at least manages to not sound grumpy:]
It gonna take longer than fifteen minutes? If so: Enclosure.
[There's only so long he can go without smoking.]

Will you open the Enclosure for me? I am planning on bringing a friend along.
{For reasons. They want to have fun.}

Sure. Gimme ten.
[There's the sound of Gojyo stretching as he gets up.]
What are you doing? Not interrogating, just curious.

Gojyo?
What's-- do you know what's happening with Jun Wu?
[There's a tone of real, sharp-edged concern in his voice. It's a very small step from do you need backup.]

[Hakkai is more diligent about checking the Network than Gojyo: there's a brief delay as he figures out what Hakkai is even talking about...]
No fucking idea.
Guess I'm heading over there. [As for the concerned tone:] I'll be fine.
[Does Gojyo actually know that? Not at all. But no need to worry until shit actually goes downhill.]

Gojyo? Are you free tonight?
I had something I wanted to ask you. If you'd like, we could meet in the Lounge...?

Hey, Gojyo!
You've got Stede this month, right?
[Sorry it's not a social call.]

[Sorry it's not a social call.]
[...Uh. He's not awake enough for this. The face that greets Tendi looks visibly hungover.]
Uh, yeah. [Why?]
Uh, yeah. [Why?]
I'm free tomorrow morning.
...Would you like to get a boat? We could manage a few cups, I think. I could bring a cooler.
[It would hold beer on the way out and cups full of magical healing light on the way back.]

You just want someone to row the boat.
[Only slightly whiny. Why so early??
...Gojyo is very eager not to fight with Hakkai again the first thing he does, so the slight whining translates to "fine".]

Hey! So it's me, again. About your inmate... again.
[She swears she's not looking for excuses to message him! It's just a coincidence, honest.]
Sokie, this time.

Hey.
She want a weapon, too?
[PLEASE appreciate the self-control he's exercising by not making a comment about how he's already lent Sokie his best sword.]

Our son's gone. I'm going after him.
You'll look after Hakkai, won't you?
You'll look after Hakkai, won't you?
Huh?
I-- yeah, sure.
What, like, back to his world?
I-- yeah, sure.
What, like, back to his world?
Are you free tomorrow evening?
Uh, sure?
What'd you have in mind?

[One week after Poker Night, Jedao sends Gojyo and candid shot of Hakkai frowning at something in the kitchen.]
he misses his favorite tray u dingus

[For a brief moment upon receiving the message, Gojyo bristles. Are they still fucking doing this? So much for trying--
Oh. Oh, that's not what Jedao is doing. Okay.]
nice try dumbass
i know for a fact he's got a duplicate
this one's mine now
[Uuuurgh, fine. He'd be such a loser if he chickened out now.
It takes him... fifteen minutes to steel himself, but after that he knocks on Jedao's door, tray in hand.]

"this ship is TOTALLY NOT HAUNTED, please step on board, NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN", you mean
[What an old-fashioned way of putting it! Cute.]
Always ♥ [Absolutely no shame!]
Why, do you know someone who wants to get chased?

Gojyo. I'm Katie Slape's warden. Don't have sex with her.
[ Well, he does get right to the point. ]
I usually wouldn't care. But her mental state may be compromised because of the Flood.
[ ...And, he might not be the best at speaking, but he does seem to have a grasp that this is normally an unusual 'ask', hence the reasoning. ]

You reading her private conversations over her shoulders like some creep, or what?
[Gojyo's only context for Vincent's wardening style is him hovering like an overprotective father during the Stockwood port. Did Katie need that kind of hovering? Gojyo doesn't know! But all the same, that's the impression he's got to work with.]

It’s been approximately five months since Armand first kissed Goyjo. Appropriately for everything that followed: it had been shortly after they’d watched something together and gone a lot further than kissing.
Since then, they’ve spent a lot of time together watching films (including ones that Gojyo’s chosen), in bed and even just casually spending time together. None of that held any special meaning for Armand (who has his own routines) right up until he saw Hakkai and understood his vague suspicion about claims of ‘friendship’ are completely justified. In the face of jealousy, it would be wrong if there was nothing to be jealous of.
Of course, Armand’s not about to inform Gojyo of any of this, and he can rely on Gojyo’s active efforts not to think about certain things to his advantage. It would be a waste not to take that advantage.
When he calls Goyjo up, he’s not worried that Gojyo will have noticed anything about timing. Besides, it’s not like it’s rare.
“You can choose what we watch,” he offers. It’s not as it’s the first time.

"Oooh, finally outta weird movies to torment me with?" Gojyo jokes, leaning against Armand's shoulder. It's not the first time Gojyo's gotten to choose the movie, and Armand is correct in thinking that Gojyo thinks nothing of the date.
He considers for a few moments, before he puts on Kurosawa's Stray Dog, with an air of not-so-subtle smugness. This movie isn't complete brain-rot trash! Gojyo can confidently say as much by now!

[......................................................]
the fuck are you talking about

[There are other people Armand can text (and he plans too, he knows how to take advantage of circumstances, but he watches movies with Gojyo.]
There has been something of a mishap. [That's definitely one way to describe it.]
I can't reach the Enclosure easily. I have some films on my iPad, but I'm afraid nothing more unique.
[Which is to say that he'd like to watch a 'normal' movie, with some company. With appropriate levels of being indirect.]

Hey, Go-Joe. [It's not technically pronounced wrong but it is incredibly American.] Congrats to ya on gettin' paired, first of all. But when y'all get a spare minute tonight, I'd appreciate the chance to get to talk to ya in person.

I've got your inmate down in Zero. She's in one piece but she shot a few people and I think she's having a rough time, emotionally.
[It's a good half hour before Gojyo responds, having literally slept through the notification.]
fucking MAKE A CALL to say that asshole

Gojyo had been mostly asleep - well, in a drunk stupor, which is close enough to count - when Armand had carried him down to what's switched over to mentally referring to as their cabin. As he can be very considerate (depending on the time of day), he'd put Gojyo to bed with water in easy reach yet out of danger of being knocked over by flailing and settled in to spend the early hours of the 'New Year' watching Fritz Lang's filmography.
It had been a good night. It had been a good couple of weeks, even if he's still sometimes hit by memories of the flood every so often. He knows how to keep going, and there are distractions. So he couldn't say why he's also suffered from bouts of carefully hidden frustration, or he couldn't say it until last night.
Perhaps he should've seen it coming, but he's not very good at predicting the future. Or knowing what he feels until after he's felt it for some time. He can barely properly enjoy Woman in the Moon, which just goes to show the dangers that can come with acknowledging something.
He's on top of it enough that when Gojyo starts seriously stirring Armand abandons him to start making scrambled eggs.

Gojyo stirs and mutters some nonsense as Armand picks him up, and when he puts him down on the bed, but other than that he settles down and sleeps like the dead, so at least Armand gets a peaceful start to the new year.
Gojyo, with his long, proud history of getting really wasted, usually knows to drink at least a few glasses of juice or soda - or water, in case the former two aren't readily available - before he crashes. Having failed to do so last night, he curses to himself as he wakes up. Stupid drunk!Gojyo from last night making present!Gojyo feel like shit... He doesn't remember how he got home, but it's not like he can't make guesses.
He gets up eventually, in his nice but crumpled clothes from last night, and shambles to the kitchen. Grunts at Armand in greeting before proceeding to liberate a jug of orange juice from the fridge which he drinks straight from (glasses are for non-hungover squares).
