Richie doesn't have the answer to such lofty questions, but he does have a smile in kind for the man as he slips into the kitchen. Okay well slips is a generous word, he is ungainly on one crutch especially because it's on the wrong side to support his fucking ankle, but what else is he supposed to do? Crawl on one arm?

jiaoqiu huffs at him hobbling in!! please!! please sit. he pauses in his cooking, sliding an arm around richie without any sort of allowing him to protest and helps him to sit on a barstool. ]
Something like that. You are in no shape to be wandering around. [ tail flicky. ] Aiya. You all give me such grey hair.
You are very good at being a pain in my ass even when you aren't even here.
[ tweaks!! his nose!!! ]
... Regardless. I am glad to see you. It has been a long day. [ and he's all measures of annoyed and sad, and anxious. not necessarily bad anxious, just... waiting. they're just waiting, now. ]

... Better. Only a little, but there's less strain.

Richie makes a fussy little noise of his own at the assist.] Oh come now—
[But he's seated. Fine. Making a face.]
Well I can't sit on my ass all day either. I took an arrow to the right half of it. Besides, how else would I come be a pain in yours?

Understatement of the century. They give an award out for that, you know.
[Glad to see you too.]

I will not ask god for anything. I don't need their help.

Sometimes it's better to take a handout than slap it away, you know.
