[He's quiet for a while, then; after all, it isn't as though they need to share words in order to understand each other, or to take comfort. They know what they're feeling, in a way no one else can--in a way that even the other swords couldn't comprehend, not really.]
[It's a double-edged sword, isn't it? Having this kind of bond. Because as much as he takes comfort in Yasusada's presence alone, he knows he'd crumble if anything ever happened to him.
The chance of that is still so real. If Buzen could be taken down, then either of them could. There's so much room for things to go so horribly wrong.]
...I'd probably kill whoever did it, if it was you.
[Right on hearing it, on a confession or a strong enough suspicion. There's no way he would let this place take the satisfaction of sending Yasusada's killer to the grave away from him.
The only reason he's even considering that, though, is because of Buzen's death. Otherwise, he'd push the mere possibility far enough away that he wouldn't have to see it.]
[He can't say for sure--after all, he's been working so, so hard on fighting his weaknesses, on understanding himself better and doing better, for the sake of the saniwa. Maybe he'd find restraint he once lacked, when thrust into such a situation.
...It seems a little unlikely, though. It's Kashuu, after all, and Yasusada has lost him too many times already.
Though, that reminds him--]
...Vin mentioned that one of the residents thought Kazuma might not have died, if he'd chosen combat. Because Riff and Damien survived their fight.
[Whether or not that's actually true, they'll never know--but it is something to keep him mind, depending on how tomorrow goes.]
[He has nothing to say to the first part, because he doesn't want to think of Yasusada having to go through with that any more than he wants to think about any of this. Un(?)fortunately, they're very much on the same wavelength here when it comes to the possibility of two people being able to fight without dying, though. He's quiet for a second, considering.]
...It's something to think about.
[Moving forward, depending on how things go, as Yasusada's already thinking - as he knows Yasusada's already thinking. Likewise, he feels his sentiment is reflected, though perhaps in a less vicious way, when he says:]
It's our right to see to it that they pay in kind, though.
[To both of those, really. He's said as much to other people--that it has nothing to do with whether or not the prism demands blood for blood. They follow their own rules--and they are weapons. Their justice only ever ends in blood.
Even so, they're likely to be kinder than the prism was to Kazuma. It's a little ridiculous.]
[They're weapons, but they can be humane about it, at least. How funny.
He just sits in silence for a few seconds after that, before bringing his hand down Yasusada's back and patting it right in the center, between his shoulder blades.]
--Let's get some early rest today. We've got a lotta work to do tomorrow... I told Clarte and Chinatsu about the luminol I got too, so hopefully that'll come in handy.
[Right, the luminol. Kashuu with his item, Yasusada with his ability--both of them, set up perfectly to try and solve this, rather than being able to prevent it.
Maybe tomorrow he'll be grateful. Right now it just feels like a mockery.
But with a small nod, he finally untangles himself from Kashuu.]
Okay. If we can, let's start with... what is that place called again? Party city? I thought I heard noises from there too.
[It's fine, they can be Not Grateful for their various items and abilities together for now. As Yasusada untangles himself, Kashuu still keeps a hand in his.]
'Kay, we can keep it in mind. I wanna check out the carnival first, though. Especially if his sword isn't with him.
[His priority right off the bat tomorrow is definitely going to be (hbo voice) Finding Buzen.]
