[ Really, the only thing worse than realizing that he's been petting Ken of all people is Ken's reaction. The poor dog is cowering like he thinks Gojyo is going to hit him, and the sight makes Gojyo's throat close up. Has he really been such an asshole that they think he'd hurt a dog? Even if the dog is Ken, he's still a dog! You don't hurt dogs.
He really misses Buddy, okay? ]
You're right. I should go, let you guys talk.
[ He's mostly healed -- his side feels more bruised than anything else -- so there's no reason why he can't haul himself to his feet and stumble off, right? Maybe he'll make it to a chair in the next room, maybe he'll make it all the way back to the bar. Either way, everyone's talking about important things and he's just in the way here. ]
