[ funnily enough, malik likes kashuu. why? how? i cannot say.

but that sure is a memory! and he has a burning question he has to ask: ]

Who is Okita?

[Wow they totally had a conversation about who was sharing first yams definitely didn't just smack Malik with a memory without asking because I can't read

ANYWAY

He looks a little surprised?!]

Kiyomitsu hasn't mentioned him? Well, I guess he's still like that... He's our former master.

[ i don't read either i just scroll twitter like any other millennial, ]

We haven't had an opportunity to talk about it... Whether he's wanted to or not, I'm not sure.

Were you fond of him?

[Reading? In this economy?]

He probably doesn't want to... [Yasusada has no sense of privacy, but he can at least acknowledge that. If this had happened before Buzen's death, then he would've been jumping around in delight and singing Okita's praises, but now he just smiles, soft and nostalgic.]

Of course, he was an amazing master. I love him more than anything.

[ and since he likes kashuu, malik isn't going to be a nosy binch and press for more info. at least not in that regard. ]

What happened?

[ me: lol. ]

To Okita-kun, you mean?

Yes. You said "he was," so I assume that circumstances have changed.

[Well, he's not wrong.]

He died, a few hundred years ago. [...] Tuberculosis.

I see.

...And how does that affect you?

[ outliving someone you love, whether you are a long-lived being or not... hard to relate. ]

He was my master.

[He says it like that should explain everything, because he is a sword and bad at this.]

...The only one?

[ ok. clearly this requires a different approach. ]

[Malik is doing his very best.

Yasusada nods.]

Until Aruji.

Who is Aruji?!

[ YAMS YOU ARE KILLING HIM. YOU'RE KILLING HIM, YAMS. ]

[HOW SHOULD HE KNOW THAT KASHUU APPARENTLY NEVER EXPLAINED ANYTHING]

Our current master. He's the one who gave us these bodies.

[ in kashuu's defense, malik never asked. he just accepted sweople as something that exists. ]

Oh? You aren't just... like that?

[That tracks for Malik tbh. Unfortunately yams doesn't know anything about yu-gi-oh and just stares at Malik in confusion]

We're swords.

Right, yes, I understand that part...

[

helpfully:]

Swords aren't people.

[ flatly: ] You're standing right there.

Right, but Aruji gave me this body. It's not my real one. [...] Well, I guess it kind of is, now, but--normally, we're spirits.
