[Hmmm. Yasusada doesn't look judgmental, just thoughtful. But he shakes his head a little.]
You don't need to explain. [Or apologize. Yasusada's a sword, after all--and maybe it's hypocritical, because he'd definitely be angry and desperate and devastated if Kazuma had killed Kashuu or Buzen, but right now, he's simply sitting with Kazuma, neutral and a little sympathetic.] But if that's how it was, then... I'm sorry.
[Cutting down a loved one, when it's the right thing to do, for their own sake--could Yasusada do that? Theoretically, it's his duty. He should be unwavering. But in practice, he's not so sure.]
He was accusing me of not being the Kazuma he knows --- demanding to know who I was, and why I had changed. He also believed he had to stop me, as I was too far gone.
[That sure does sound crazy, alright. A part of Yasusada wonders if, perhaps, Kazuma's the one who's been affected, if not both of them--but if he is, then it's not like he'll realize it.
He could, perhaps, ask why Kazuma didn't say so in the first place, why he'd so aggressively searched amongst the others when he'd known he was the one who did it--but it doesn't really matter, honestly. Not anymore.
Instead--]
Will you tell me more about him? How he usually was.
[ it was both, really. he currently seems to have enough lucidity to admit that... for the moment, anyway. ]
[ but he obliges. there's a somber note to it, now, but kazuma is always ready to brag about his bff. ]
He's an exceptional defense attorney and man. There was a time, where I was separated from him, and Karuma.... and lost, myself. I wasn't able to guide him.
But he held onto Karuma in my stead, safeguarded it, and returned it to me. He found his way in Great Britain.

Keeping in form?

Kind of! I don't have my blade here, so I can't really spar.

[ kazuma smiles faintly. ]
We do what we must. Are you a sword spirit?
no subject
What's your sword's name?
no subject
[ a man's sword is his soul.... ]
The three of you, then?
[ he would be weirded out but honestly so much weird shit has happened by now ]
no subject
[Just because they're nerfed from seeing other tsukumogami doesn't mean he can't be polite!!!
Yasusada nods his fluffy little head, though.]
That's right! I'm Yamatonokami Yasusada, one of Okita Souji's beloved swords. Not easy to handle, but a good sword!
no subject
Just like Kashuu-san.
[ he is a big samurai nerd so he'd know.... ]
no subject
Right, right!
[He's a little surprised Kashuu said as much??? Or maybe Kazuma just knew it already, hunh.]
w1, saturday
Kazuma?
no subject
... Yasusada-san.
no subject
What you said, about Naruhodo-kun... was it right? [About him being crazy and murderous.] Do you remember?
no subject
[ he bows his head a little lower. ]
He wasn't in his right mind. I'm certain of it. Something must have happened to him.

gaa2 spoilers
No need to apologize to me. At first, I was trying to restrain him, to snap him out of it.... but as the night went on... I lost control, myself.
[ it isn't the first time, either. when come face to face with one of the men who sent his father to his death, the rage had been overwhelming. ]
[ would he have stabbed that man? he doesn't know. ]
no subject
Was he... could he speak? [He hesitates. Then--] How did his eyes look?
no subject
Something must have been done to him. He would never.
no subject
What did he say?
no subject
[ etc. ]

I don't really know anything about "attorneys"... [He's a cop sword but the Shinsengumi made up their own laws] But he sounds like a good comrade.
