[tilting his head, wondering how that sentence ended. what does he have to sort out with suki...
but he hums thoughtfully at the question.]
.... I think I know you well enough - I don't need to know everything about you in order to decide that you're a human I want to follow, for as long as we have together. I still think you're powerful, and decisive. Intelligent, capable, and... a lot kinder than you let on. Or maybe you're like me, and you wonder if kindness counts for much when there are things you'll do regardless that can be considered cruel.
You still hide a lot, Ro-san. [ . . . ] I don't really mind. I just don't want you to feel lonely, or like you can't trust me.
[ She pats him on the shoulder. It's kindness that she said anything at all. Kindness to Itsuki because he's apparently a little yan. ]
Kindness matters when the intention matches the actions. [ And while Roxana does care, can't help but eventually care because she's only human at the end of the day, she does do things regardless even though they are cruel. ] I wouldn't call myself kind, but thank you.
I do trust you. [ As much as she can trust anyone. Loneliness isn't much of a factor for her, not at this point of her life. ] I'll use you, for as long as we're here, because you're one of the few who understand that there are things I do, no matter how it comes across to others.
[buzen huffs a bit in amusement at that - he wouldn't call himself kind either, but there's been a lot of words given to him here that he doesn't truly think he deserves. kind, sweet, safe. they don't really match being a sword, no matter how he acts now that he has this body.
but he seems thoughtful at her words regardless.]
.... alright. Then I'll be glad, if you continue to rely on me.
Thank you - for agreeing to be my master.
[for agreeing to be a part of buzen's own chosen, woven history]
she's been called kind multiple times here, and each time she's responded thank you for thinking so because she does want people to think she is even if she doesn't think she is. this is maybe why people think she refracted, and that's fine. ]
There's not a lot of choice afforded to you or I, so if this is something I can grant, I will.
