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.

[disingenuous]

[ when he says that and itsuki is right there, i cry

I know the last one is true, but Roxana doesn't and she is like she should remind no one of anyone, so: ]

The last one again?

[hasteful]

[buzen loves all his gous equally it doesn't mean anything -

but he grins at that]

Hah! A point for me, Ro-san! I've only had this body for a little over a year... [they just like putting buzen in musicals so i can say this instead of months]

You and Matsu are pretty similar though... well, he's a little more honest. [HE'LL JUST SAY IT]
