Time doesn't always speak to the quality of relationships. When I looked upon you three, I could have mistaken you all for being lifetime companions. Or similar... Since I imagine that's quite long in sword years.
[ YOU ARE ALL SO OLD. ]
Buzen had told me that swords do not honor the dead like man does... But I wish to ask what is it you wish to do to remember him?
[This is such a lovely tag and I'm just stuck here thinking about how "in sword years" sounds like "in dog years" help
That makes him smile a little, though.]
Well, Kiyomitsu is my partner. [So that explains that much.] But Buzen is just... that type of person, I think.
[Easy to feel close to, no matter how long you've known him.
It's a good question, though. One that Yasusada isn't sure he has an answer to just yet.]
...I don't know. Before, I couldn't really... there was nothing I could do, as a spirit. [When people died on him, and left him behind like this. Now that he has a physical form, he isn't sure what to do with a loss like this.] ...We don't have his pieces anymore, though. I want to keep looking for them.
[ I MEAN... Sword years. If only Aymeric could assume that Kashuu is his boyfriend from that, but he gets it in the context. He grows quiet because this is a sad thing he has to ask. ]
Would they be reclaimable, Ser Yamatonokami?
[ Locations already revert, evidence disappearing with it. ]
[If only there was an easy answer to this question.]
Aruji... he's able to find the spirits of broken swords, sometimes. He's powerful enough to do that. But... I don't know if he can do it for those of us who've already been given bodies.
... Notwithstanding what we do and do not know, I will pray that there is something he can do to bring Buzen back to you, then. When all of this is over and we return home.
[ At least, Aymeric believes Buzen will be back... Somehow, some way, even if it means he wouldn't be the one they know. ]
Thank you. [He appreciates the sentiment, truly. He'll cling to it, no matter how far-fetched it might be; he doesn't want to think about what it might mean, if Buzen is truly gone forever.] I'll have faith in him too.

Yasusada shakes his head, though--a sign that he is, at least, present, even if his thoughts are far away.]
No. You can sit, if you want. [He scoots over a little, if Aymeric wants to join him.]

We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow... But the wait to know the truth must be grueling.
[ ... ]
It had only been hours and yet I find myself missing him.

...Me too. Even though we only met here... he was an important comrade.

...I'm not sure. But I want to believe that they're here somewhere.

[ It is like retrieving a body? Important. There is a question here: ]
... What happens to swords when they're gone? May they be summoned once more?
