Yeah. Not to mention, there's forty people in the list, so if she decides not to team up with anyone, there's going to be three people who are also out of luck.
[nodding to herself]
That's a good place to start... Though I get the feeling it's mostly going to depend on who says yes and who has other plans. But either way - thanks for your help. It's nice to have a sounding board.
Mm, I wouldn't say that. We get a lot of freedom when we're not on missions. We just finished up a whole play for fun! There's just some stuff we gotta obey.
[easy-going, but he's always easy-going. but at the rest of the explanation, he nods along easily enough]
I don't think she'd want to hurt anybody... well, there's still time. Hopefully she'll be able to figure it out.
But hey - no problem. [he grins, just as cheery] I don't know how much help I really was, but I like listening to you too. I'll always be around if you need anything.
Haha, more the latter than the former. Gou no Yoshihiro has a number of works, and Matsui and I are two of 'em. My history is tied with his, though, in a way that it isn't with other swords.
So I guess it's easier for me to be next to him - or maybe that's where I want to be, more often than not.
[a little too quick, a little too heated, but she seems to realize that after a second and untenses her fingers from where they've started to dig into her shirt sleeves.]
[it's both too quick and too heated, but aside from buzen's brows raising minutely, he doesn't seem to mind all that much. instead he shakes his head before lowering it slightly]
No, I asked an insensitive question. It's my fault - sorry.
You don't need to apologize for having strong feelings on something like that... it just makes sense.

Yeah. Good luck with - well, you said your friend is picking out teammates for you, but good luck with that.

Thanks. I've trusted Matsu with my life - well, I guess now my existence - for a long time. I'm sure he'll take care of it well.

I hope you get to stay there.

But hey - I'm happy that I at least get to spend my time here getting to know people like you, too.

While I do expect that to happen to me at some point, it's nice to have a little more time anyway.

[even if it's clear from her tone that isn't her take on it.]

You don't sound like you agree, though... I'd rather hear your actual thoughts, more than anything else.

he tilts his head at that, curious]
Mm... leaving on bad terms? [a beat] Well, we don't have to talk about it if it feels too close to home or anything...
But if that's weighing on you too, I wouldn't want you to carry it alone...

You were just trying to help, right? So it's fine.

[but he's just clearly trying to add some levity back to the conversation, so he shakes his head a moment later]
You're kind for letting me off the hook. How about we get a snack and call it? Do you have a favorite type of food?
no subject
Anything that's not prepackaged, I guess.

It's way better than the yogurt. I always feel like I'm missing something with the yogurt...

Yeah? Do you prefer ice cream or something?

It's one of the things I've enjoyed the most in this body. Swords don't get to taste, after all.
