[i'm so scared ara

anyway buzen is going to just be. anywhere? anywhere. he perks up whenever he sees roxana, regardless. he automatically holds his hand out to her, probably because it's touch week]

Yo, Ro-san. Is it me or is today kinda busy?

[get busy living or get busy dying, you know?]

[disingenuous]

[ what is there to be scared of you are so lucky you're dead?

She looks at his hand and takes it gently in hers because it's touch week. ]

There seems to be few new additions here and there. The flower in the cemetery is quaint.

[hasteful]

The hungry one?

[he'll interlace their fingers automatically]

"Quaint" is... a word...

You wanna go look around?

[disingenuous]

My family would love that flower. [ The monstrous gothic vibes are real and alive. ]

All we ever do is take walks, isn't it? [ She smiles. ] Let's.

[hasteful]

... your family is really interesting, but I can't say my Gous would hate it either.

[it's like the cross between matsu and kuwa.... and the others would probably find it funny....

though he laughs a little]

Do you want to do something else? I like our walks and talks. We could always play a game or something, I guess.

[disingenuous]

Tell me about your Gous?

[ She hopes desperately they aren't anything like her family. ]

Let's play a game. Any game will do, but how do you feel about penalties for the loser or rewards for the winner?

[hasteful]

Think that's one of the best ways to play a game.

[he hums thoughtfully - ]

What was that game? Two truths and a lie? Best out of three rounds to decide a winner? Then I can tell you about my Gous.

[disingenuous]

All right. You go first.

[hasteful]

Hmm...

Kotegiri is an even better singer and dancer than the rest of us - probably motivated by his own passion.

Ame is a great poet, probably because the name of his sword stems from a poem.

And Kuwa is the unofficial leader of us all, steady and thoughtful in everything he does.

[disingenuous]

Isn't this you telling me about them?

[ she laughs a little. she assumes he's naming the gous, at least. ]

The last one.

[hasteful]

It's quicker this way!

[buzen your snap judgments]

Hmm... You're right though... How'd you know...

[disingenuous]

You're the one who keeps telling people to depend on you and to rely on you. I assume you're like that with your Gous.

[ that's her snap judgment. ]

Do you ever turn around and depend and rely on people the same way?

[hasteful]

Hmm... Sure! I rely on my captain to give me orders, and trust others to look after me when I need it too probably. We tend to work in teams, after all.

[he says probably just because. that situation hasn't come up yet but it's fine]

So you think I can be 'leader' too, Ro-san... Huh...

[the gous assigned buzen leader and he doesn't understand it? some days he does think kuwa or someone else should be leader]

[disingenuous]

Probably.

[ That's telling, but she thinks he probably could be looked after now. Or Thursday night when he dies?

She hums a little. ]

There are different types of leaders and leaderships that work with different types of teams. It's your personality that's probably necessary for your team.

[ If his first mission was the Shimabara Rebellion. ]

[hasteful]

[no (breaks his neck)

buzen will just laugh a little bit at that.]

Well, the Gous are definitely pretty interesting... but I'm still learning. I'm not cut out to be captain just yet.

Guess that's one point for you then - wanna have a turn?

[disingenuous]

[ he is already dead. don't break his neck.

There's a pause as she thinks about what to share. ]

I hate all my brothers.

My father has ten wives.

My mother is the most beautiful of all ten.

[hasteful]

[oh hmmmmmmmm

gut guess - ]

First one?

[disingenuous]

[ She nods. ]

One of my younger brothers is cute.

[hasteful]

Oh - we're even then!

[their game...]

Tell me about him?

[disingenuous]

He's only a year younger than I am, but you can tell he still needs time to mature. He's protective of me whenever someone's rude to me, sometimes in an unfortunate and detrimental way.

[ He starts so many fights he shouldn't. ]

But he usually listens to me whenever I tell him to stop.

[hasteful]

[ . . . . pouts a little.]

No one should be rude to you... [he gets it,]

Ah, but you deal with a lot of politics and stuff, right...? So I guess having a cool head is probably better...

[disingenuous]

[ She laughs a little. ]

I was at a peace summit before coming here. All the most powerful families were there, and he was about to start something with the head of another family.

That would have been a little counterproductive.

[hasteful]

[ . . . . he goes quiet like he feels like it's something he'd do if he got mad enough? but it's a little harder to make buzen mad at least,]

.... I guess being human means having a lot of feelings like that, huh...?

[disingenuous]

[ is he going to become her attack sword? even though he's dead? ]

It can be needlessly complicated, but it's because people make it be.

It's your turn.

[hasteful]

[he said he'd let her be his master

anyway,]

Umm...

I've had this body for a few years now.

During one of my missions, I helped build Edo Castle - one of our most famous structures that lasted through history.

You remind me most of Matsui Gou - Matsu.
