[somewhere, anywhere, buzen is doing a hand stand!
and when he catches sight of fei du - ]
Fei-san! ... eh, Du-san...? Which is more polite.... Or is it Fei Du-san....

[ this title is not wrong though currently it feels like buzen is doing the most
by which i mean fei du is walking in the city with a little ikea soda in hand and a straw sticking out of it, which he is currently drinking out of, and saw this sight and is just. kind of watching it? as you do. ]
Fei-san, if you insist, but I’d prefer just Fei Du. [ he sounds amused, raising his eyebrows. ] Don’t stop on my account…Buzen, no?

Haha, if it's what you prefer, then shouldn't I oblige?
[but he's also not stopping! he's just very comfortable in this handstand, even shifting his weight to one hand to let the other rest over his heart in greeting!]
That's me! Buzen Gou, at your service. Nice to meet'cha.

[ he sure is still doing a handstand. his eyebrows slightly raise when he switches to one handed, mouth falling into a little smile. looking subtly yet disrespectfully. abs. ]
You too. Acrobatics practice? Strength training? You're very talented at it.

[yea abs,
but buzen will just hum thoughtfully at that, tilting his head]
Honestly - I was trying to see if I could get some memories to come back if I got a little more blood to my head. No luck, though...
[damn who would've thought,]

[ help. ]
That's the spirit. [ lol
fei du does nothing to stop buzen from continuing his handstand. again. abs. also this is kind of funny. but he will offer, more helpfully: ] The best way to recall memories is to put yourself back into the situation where your brain might have erased them through your senses. If you can get physically back to the place where it happened, that would be idea, but it's not exactly plausible, at the moment for most of us.
[ why do you know this ]

Ah...
[a pause

I might need someone to attack me then.

[ this feels like the correct answer for a sword ]
... Well, it sounds like you won't have too much trouble finding that, in this crowd...?
[ the ERASURES ]

I guess, but I'd like it to be in a situation where I don't have to try to kill them in return.
[non-lethal attacking.... because buzen would
obviously win? ok]
[non-lethal attacking.... because buzen would

A friendly attack. [ ... ] Your friend, perhaps? The one with the long hair.
[ sword on sword violence ] I'd offer, but - [ he sort of lifts his hands, with a helpless smile. fei du is but a twink. ]

Oh, no way. Matsu would never.
[just.
very definitively there,]

[ friendship....? ]
Camaraderie?
Camaraderie?
[he shakes his head]
He'll spar, sometimes - we all enjoy that. But he'd only ever raise his blade to an actual enemy.
It's too heavy, otherwise.

[ he makes a little noise, interested. i just remembered buzen is doing this in a handstand. ]
Oh? Is that so...?
[ please he is just a modern ]

[ whew what a trial
after all of that, fei du can be found innnn the ikea. he's sitting in a chair tucked away a bit, a green jacket slung around his shoulders, and most importantly, there's very soft music playing from his phone that's sitting on his lap.
his eyes are closed, but, at least it doesn't look like he's asleep or anything! ]

[NO I LOST THIS IN A TAB THAT DISAPPEARED
BUT . . . hmmm. buzen is walking, not running, so his approach is already softer. his voice drops to a whisper when he just goes - ]
Want something to eat, Fei Du? Or should I just leave you be?

[ love me dana 🥺
anyway. the rare not running buzen... when fei du hears footsteps, he does rouse a bit - rather, his eyes slowly open, and he looks at the person addressing him, coming back into focus. it looks like he may have been lost in thought - as the dulcet tones of josh groban continue, he presses pause in his music and then readjusts how he's sitting, giving buzen a gentle smile. ]
That's a sweet offer. You must be busy, running around and taking care of others, today...? I could use a snack, I think. [ considering he emptied his stomach like an hour ago. sometimes u disassociate. ] But, maybe you'd take a break and enjoy one with me?

[the museum is an interesting place. buzen waves hello to every single artifact that he sees, polite as though seeing an old friend. though as he wanders further in, he'll catch sight of something that makes him stop -
and then instantly teleport over, as though he couldn't wait another second before he makes contact]
Kuwa— Kotegiri?!
[two swords sit in cases - one of them the same length as buzen's sword at his hip, the other a bit shorter. the longer is labeled as Kuwana Gou (Uchigatana) and the other is labeled Kotegiri Gou (Wakizashi)]

[he just smiles faintly at that, agreeing easily enough]
'Course. That's easy. What kind of snacks do you like? I'll go get something for us both to munch on.

[ why is this so charming. it's kind of funny watching buzen bounce around from place to place, so fei du, who was just sort of admiring the familiar looking sets of armor and swords, ends up half following buzen, though it's at a sedate, relaxed pace.
when he sees him drift teleport that fast, though, curiousity takes over - he approaches, hands behind his back. obligatory fit check included. ]
Friends of yours, Buzen? [ sords... ]

They are. They're also Gou swords, like me and Matsu.
[so that's already something, considering how close buzen and matsui come off. but the longer that he lingers around here, the more confused he looks. he moves to hover his ear over the glass, as though trying to listen for something.]
... you don't hear anything - do you, Fei Du? Don't see anything besides the blades either, right...
[he does manage to sound -
well, disappointed]

[ understood. he's quiet for a moment, stepping back and observing - just watching buzen flit around the case.
when he addresses him again, he shakes his head, expression a touch sympathetic. ]
No, I don't. [ but he'll come up a little closer to the glass. ] Considering the circumstances [ you're dead! ] is that better, or worse?

[he looks back over at the glass and says simply:]
They're whole. They're not broken. And maybe Matsu and I aren't broken in our current forms either but -
You don't put broken swords on display.
[ . . . ]
I guess I was a little hopeful.

[ ah. he smiles at that, gentle. ]
To be reunited with friends? I could see that. [ hmmm... ] It's lucky that you and Matsui have each other, at least. You seem like the kind of person who is close to their people, am I correct?

[ he matches the smile for tone. ]
Anything sweet, if you insist. [ bring him ikea cookies ] Thank you.
