[WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE THIS he's running now, with his arms stretched out like an airplane?! Why.]
Your stamina is so bad! [PEANUT!!! This is what you get for focusing more on looking pretty than on doing 100 cartwheels across the stage] Come on, come on, I'll get you some food.
[The only reason he doesn't scream and drop these onto the floor is because he's TIRED!!! And also a little hungry, and also doesn't want to waste food when there are starving humans around, so.
But he does just look for a second like he wants to become the Gripping Things Tightly guy.]
[HE JUST... SIGHS!!!! But since Yasusada looks earnest and wasn't trying to be an idiot on purpose, he'll shift all his carrots to one hand and wipe the other rudely on Yasusada's sleeve before giving him a pat on his little pompom noggin.]
You too, huh? I was messing around earlier and figured out I could do that one that lets you create a picture or whatever.
ALSO DON'T WIPE THINGS ON HIM STOP. First the slime and now carrot juice... he's gonna be a stinky potato soon]
I wonder what that one is for... entertainment? [Normally his first thought would be like "you can use it as a decoy in a battle" but since this place doesn't seem like it's going to erupt into a battlefield anytime soon, he's going with the next likely option??]
Yours said "metallic" too, right? Is that a color? I can't use that one.
[Which--he's not sure if that makes him a little uncomfortable, honestly. Surely a sword should be connected to metal anything??? But Buzen is green like a typical a Gou, and Yasusada hasn't yet asked him about his other colors... he'll decide how he feels about it after that.]
He looks a little surprised at that, though?? Honestly he hasn't even checked the other sword's colors yet since he just automatically assumed they'd both be metallic, too...]
You can't? Seriously? Huh... Maybe it'll just take a little practice or something. Things don't really make sense here, after all...
[HE NEEDS IT DON'T TAKE AWAY HIS SWORD HE'LL DISINTEGRATE INTO PARTICLES.
Anyway, after a pause, he'll sit down next to Yasusada. He's still just holding these fucking carrots in his hand because he refuses to put them into his pocket.]
...Yeah, I get what you mean. It's kinda creepy, right?
[Not the exact word, but close enough. It feels invasive.]
[For all their stupid bickering and shenanigans, it's the easiest thing in the world to shift over, leaning against Kashuu just a little.]
Since it happened to everyone, it probably isn't because of what we are, but it's still... [He shakes his head a little.] I don't mind trying to help somewhere that needs it, but I don't really like the way this happened.
[It's a weird position to be in, honestly. He doesn't mistrust the locals, but he isn't naive enough to blindly believe them; he isn't angry, but he isn't thrilled, either--but then again, he's happy to have Kashuu and Buzen around, too. Human emotions really never get any less confusing, do they?]
They are truly both so stupid, though... Of course he shifts to accommodate, reflexive as ever when it comes to Yasusada. He also takes a breath in and sighs through his nose, letting a little of his weariness show. Of course he's weary man he's been going at mach 500 in energy since he arrived. He's literally the "IF I KEEP MY BODY MOVING AND MY MIND OCCUPIED AT ALL TIMES" meme.]
Same, same... It's preeetty pushy, if you ask me! It's not like we weren't in the middle of other important things, either. [Not to sound like a heartless dick or anything, but, like--] I kind of want to handle our own dying world before we get stuck with someone else's.
[It would be easier if this were more like the sort of battles they're used to. The missions they've been sent on can hardly be called familiar, even if it's history they're intimately close to--but it always comes down to the fights they know, in the end. The Retrograde Army might plot and scheme and maneuver, but at their cores, they're still weapons too. At some point, steel always clashes, and the world makes sense again, if only for one fight.
A situation like this, though... here, all Yasusada can really do is try to mitigate Kashuu's panic, and use that focus to ignore his own. But it's not easy to maintain that when each day that passes raises more and more questions without answering any of them.
And Kashuu's right, anyway. Their world needs them--their master needs them. That's not something so easily put aside.]
Did you ask them if there's a way to talk to Aruji? I was going to--Idokku said to try talking to the others, that they might know more.
Kashuu's looking down toward the floor as Yasusada talks, considering much of the same - the discomfort of being so far out of your element, of not having any preparation or even any means of handling the conflict at hand. He may outwardly be more panicked than Yasusada, but it's barely the tip of the iceberg in terms of how panicked he really feels.
The question has him shaking his head, though.]
I was gonna talk to 'em a little later, though. I'll see if I can find anything... They don't really seem to know a lot. They're pretty forgetful too, aren't they?
[Unspoken concern like IS THAT WHAT'LL HAPPEN TO THEM IF THEY STAY HERE??? Grandpa memory...]

[hm]
no subject
He also for some reason didn't expect this??? Somehow???? So as soon as Yasusada goes babyuun-ing away, Kashuu's immediately yelping and CLINGING.]
—Hey! I said carry me, not run away like a maniac!! And who said anything about food?!
no subject
[BABYUUUUUUUN]
You're grumpy, so you're definitely hungry.
no subject
[AAAA BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO BONK YASUSADA OVER THE HEAD IN CASE HE ACTUALLY DOES FALL AND THEY BOTH DIE.]
—And I'm not grumpy!!
no subject
In that case he's just going to grab Kashuu's legs
and do a forward, no-hand flip
and then stop
lmao]
no subject
DIE—!!
no subject
It's not like I dropped you!!
no subject
[GODDAMN. Can you believe he's pitching this much of a fit when he's the one who forced Yasusada to give him a piggyback ride.]
no subject
Anyway he's ignoring Kashuu's whining because if he'd dropped Kashuu it would've been 100% Kashuu's fault anyway]
Yes, yes, hold out your hands.
no subject
But he will hold out his hands.
Sulkily.]
no subject
...and a handful of soggy, steamed baby carrots will tumble directly into Kashuu's hands.
Delicious.]
no subject
But he does just look for a second like he wants to become the Gripping Things Tightly guy.]
...Did you do this on purpose.

no subject
STOP THOUGH TAKE A SHOWER GODDAMN can't believe Kashuu is going to have to put Yasusada into a cold bath like a puppy.]
I guess? The food and water colors definitely seem more useful, but it's nice to make things that are cute, even if they don't last that long.
[Of course he'd think that.]
no subject
Yours said "metallic" too, right? Is that a color? I can't use that one.

[HE GOT A PONY INSTEAD OF A SWORD.]
no subject
He sits down with a sigh, then, leaning back and looking up at the sky.]
It's not that I don't like these powers, but something besides Aruji making changes to these bodies is kind of...
no subject
Anyway, after a pause, he'll sit down next to Yasusada. He's still just holding these fucking carrots in his hand because he refuses to put them into his pocket.]
