 “ sooooooorry, hiromasa-sama. if you would accept this blade’s humble advice-- consider becoming a little cuter yourself? you’ve got plenty of potential, but you’re so rough... ” pause. “ that’s got its own appeal too, though. ”

Finding his way to a… festival, it seems, Kiritsugu let himself get lost. Wandering through streets of food and game stalls, taking in the smells and sights of the new world around him. It was relaxing, in it’s own way. 

Stepping out of a food stall with a bag in hand, a young man at a fishing game caught his eye. He approached quietly, watching him with innocent fascination.

Kiyomitsu doesn’t notice the man at first-- he’s preoccupied with making sure the owner of the stall is convinced he’s just as inept at this game as he seems. Carefully and deliberately, he’s missing toss after toss of this twenty-ball round, all for the illusion of a sudden stroke of luck at the end. (After all, nobody’s interested in hearing how long he spent practicing this.)

“My last ball...” Now he’s noticed him. But the show isn’t over until he wins! Painted fingers bat the ball just-so, and in an alarmingly perfect arc it sails into the bowl all the way in the back. 

“Ahaha! No way!” Now he turns to him, still grinning wide. “Ojisan, did you see that?”

@danceofthekitsune‘s here, too?

“Kogitsunemaru...?”

That’s got to be him, right? He’s impossible to miss, even with the disorientation that may come with crossing worlds. With that surety in his mind, Kiyomitsu approaches a little quicker, heels drumming against hardwood. “It’s no surprise that someone as lightweight as me was carted off to wherever-this-is. But a beast like you? Our captors must be... formidable.” He’s actually pleased to have this chance to speak with Kogitsunemaru on grounds like this, away from the citadel.

“ what does love look like? ”

“You’re cute, oneechan, but you’re asking the wrong spirit.”

Certainly some of the others might be able to tell the both of them-- the little Awataguchi flock and their brotherly bond, their General’s devotion to keeping them all alive and freshly forged. As he’s thinking of that, though, it occurs to him that maybe he knows more than he thought. 

“Well... actually...”

“Maybe it takes all sorts of forms, depending on who you are and what you need. For example-- is there anybody you wanna protect? Anyone who protects you?”

‘Yeah?’

Yagen is sitting with folded knees, his hands wrapped around his legs. It looks childish, as much as he seems like a younger sibling when sitting next to Kashuu Kiyomitsu. He neither denies or admits his feelings, but simply sticks to the facts. 

‘This isn’t the first time I’ve left them for so long.’

‘It’s the same for you, right?’

Yagen Toushirou, lost to the flames after Honnou-ji. Kashuu Kiyomitsu, left in the dust after Ikedaya. If anything, they’ve spent more time alone than with the other swords.

‘…but I don’t mind this, either. With you here.’

“... Uh huh.”

No point in acting tough around someone who understands-- and in spite of his occasional taunts, he knows full well that Yagen isn’t some little brother to baby with white lies. Of course it’s lonely. Neither of them is the type to confess something like that so openly, though, so together they can focus on what’s in front of them.

“So you don’t mind having me for company? That’s kinda sweet. You wanna be my big brother, too?” He chuckles, leans to reach into his bag. “We can do something fun in the meantime. Think you could keep a manicure alive for a week or two?”

@houchipurei‘s hogging the spotlight.

“ Hey... I’ve been meaning to ask. What’s with that flashy outfit? ” He sweeps in closer (but not too close), eyes locked on the taller spirit’s outfit... Which isn’t really that different from his own. In fact, Kiyomitsu is probably the flashier of the two, with high heels and painted nails... but let’s not question his seamless logic.

“ I mean, I’ll admit you’re a vision, and all that. But if you get into a scrap in that-- wait. Are you aiming to flaunt your bloodstains on purpose? ”

“ i can tell when you’re lying. ”

“ As always, you’re way too sharp... ” With the makeshift grace of one reluctantly accepting his defeat, Kiyomitsu rests his cheek on his palm, heaving a sigh. After a pause, though, he turns and looks Yagen in the eye, albeit with a familiar pout weighing down the corners of his lips.

“ It’s not like I lie for the sake of it, though. I just don’t wanna weigh you down, you know? I’m sure you have enough problems without mine... so don’t pry. ”

“ worth is not something we transfer. ”

sentence starters | accepting 

He’s silent for a moment, absorbing the words-- they make his skin prickle because he knows they’re true. Somewhere, in the back of his mind, the uselessness of his facade is ever-present. But what will he have left, if he lets it go? Nothing but the blade that carries his spirit and the memory of a time when his worth was something assured.

“ Yeah? And what would you know about it, huh? ” His expression is distraught, but the question is genuine. (Do you recognize the pain that throbs in his chest when he sees the others together, laughing softly, fearing nothing? Have you found a cure?)

@resentable‘s not getting away that easy!

“ You kno-ow. ” He’s got Ookurikara cornered-- in a very loose sense of the word, since he’s severely outclassed in strength and size-- with his dainty frame blocking the singular exit. Intimidating, right?  “ For a guy who hates getting social so much, you’re pretty easily lured out by food. Dinner was my job tonight-- do you like it? ” He leans forward, gesturing towards a strawberry layer cake. “ You're gonna try dessert too, riiiight? ”
