[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...]
[the way i keep forgetting optional memloss is there]
That's literally what I was thinking. [WHY ARE THEY BULLYING HIGEKIRI.]
Apparently they don't even remember if the names in the phones for them are ones they picked out for themselves or ones the prism picked for them? [Which actually brings him to another point, nose wrinkling:] That's creepy, too. Just 'cuz we're in this world, it doesn't mean we belong to it... Why the hell do they just accept that it can do this kinda stuff?
[Oh, hunh. He didn't know that--and he frowns to hear it. Creepy!!!]
I guess if they've always been here then they wouldn't know it's weird? [He doesn't sound sure, though.] I don't want that to happen to us, though. We'll have to be careful.
[Some snatches of conversations he'd caught made it sound like they also just kind of Were Here... But he didn't pry too much into it at the time. He leans over a little more, bonking the side of his noggin against Yasusada's.]
Mm... If you start feeling weird or anything, tell me, okay? I'll make sure your stupid feet stay on the ground.
[A BONK... AND A RUDE COMMENT TF!! Well, kind of. He hears it for what it is, and it makes him smile; for all that there's plenty left to worry about, he lets the conversation turn to lighter things.]
Speak for yourself! Are you gonna be okay without your nail polish?
[It's a tossup whether Yasusada truly grasps that they're stuck as humans for now, or whether he just doesn't want to think about it--either way, he just shakes his head. TYPICAL KASHUU...]
Can't you just make new gloves or something? [HOW]

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.]
