As long as his mother didn't find out about this, Hajime was just fine with the way the conversation was going.

"So what was worth getting that drunk for?" Hajime asked. He'd never been much of a drinker...or comfortable at parties. Still, there was a sympathetic nod. "Something tells me you'll be feeling it worse than I will." It helped that he knew he now healed much faster than a human would. He'd have a little bruising, maybe, but that would be the worst of it.

"Retirement party. Send one of the old guys off, put on a smile, and when they're looking to shuffle some people upstairs, well... they'll remember." He grinned, plainly pleased with himself. He had never liked parties, but he could do parties. Because you had to. Because you needed to. Hajime's sympathetic nod was appreciated. "Pff, are you serious? Your eye looks terrible. Put something on it when you get home, okay?"

"What, you've all got to share hangover war stories in the morning?" Hajime didn't sound too convinced as to the wisdom of this business decision. But he knew how Jack was. Jack could work a room, while he preferred to just hide in a corner somewhere...

He had to grin a bit when Jack told him to put something on his eye. "I think it looks worse than it is, but don't worry. I've got a bag of peas in the freezer. Should be fine in the morning."

"There'll be a bit of that, yeah..." Yet another thing to not particularly look forward to... but he'd handle it. Wear the thick sunglasses, order the extra large coffee, grin sheepishly, retreat to the safety of one's office by citing the actual headache that you're fighting...

"You still at home, or have you got a place? I'd hate to see the fuss Chiyoko'd make, she caught you coming home like that." He's trying to tease, but he's honest, there. Once you've gotten Hajime's mom started... well.

"I've got my own apartment now. It's small, but...it's still mine." Hajime gave a very obvious wince at the mere mention of his mother's name. "I'd have to tell her I fell off my bike or something, and then she'd go off on another one of her rants about the motorcycle..." He really hoped Jack didn't tell her a thing.
