He doesn't expect to see Tendo curled up in a corner sobbing silently as he stares at the rosary Raleigh had made him a few weeks earlier. It's a secluded area without cameras so Raleigh just scoops Tendo up, practically marches to their quarters and allows his Gipsy Danger t-shirt to be soaked through on both shoulders as Yancy brackets Tendo from behind.
Tendo starts talking in a broken mix of Cantonese and English, apologizing to his Yeye and his family that he wasn't able to reach them in time. Raleigh shushes him gently, murmuring softly that Tendo was forgiven and that his efforts now saved lives. The man slumps against them both as they share a glance over the tousled dark hair. Raleigh's fingers are tangled in it as Tendo had accepted gentle petting along with the slow, halting Cantonese he barely remembered.
Maybe we oughta do that more often. Poor guy was just streaking tears. Shit. You think Hermann's okay? Raleigh worries about the mathematician's reaction if the ever-cheerful LOCCENT officer had broken down in a corner of the Shatterdome.
One stray at a time Rals, one stray at a time.
...Alright but I'm checking on him after Tendo wakes up.
Worrywart. The fondness lacing Yancy's tone means that Yancy's also a bit worried about Hermann. We'll go check on him later.
