[ he just. nods, and gives bobchan another absent pat, deceptively calm for the anger threading through his voice. ]
It's my job to bring him home in one piece. I got him back once, so they won't take him from us again. Not for long. [ . . . ] Even if it's his own fault this time.
[ kara is out here eyeing the announcement board, visibly uncomfortable. ]
Be affectionate… go on a date. [ siiiiiiigh. these tasks were made to spite him specifically. ] Do we have to go with someone we haven’t meet before again…?
I can't really fucking go far, but I can suffer through a date with you if you need one. [ she says, amused. ] Maybe you can cook me something I can actually eat, seeing as I haven't eaten since the trial.
It's a soup made from miso paste - fermented soybeans. It's good for when you need something light, but filling. It can be salty, though, if you aren't used to it.
My former master invested a lot in it. He wouldn't have bothered, if it wasn't worth it.
[ let's say they've made it to the kitchen so he can start pulling shit out. there's already some fresh rice and dashi from when he cooked earlier, so. they've got a head start, at least! ]
He was a good leader - strong, and cared about his people. He was one of the best tacticians of his time - no one has wielded me better than he did, and I served his family for centuries.
[ not that kara's biased or anything. ]
He cooked for his men whenever he had the chance, too. It was very important to him, making sure they were all taken care of and had a good meal whenever they could.
[ this probably the most she's heard kara talk since this started lmao ]
w0, saturday, post trial
Hey. You guys were friends, right?
no subject
...Yeah.
[ tsuru's sword sits on the ground before him, freshly cleaned and next to his own. ]
no subject
I'm sorry. [ she offers, hesitantly. ] That you lost him, and that it was such a shitty accident.
no subject
We'll get him back like we did before.
[ he's going to strangle tsuru when they do, but. gotta accomplish that part first. ]
...He was the first one to break, in the village. It probably didn't even occur to him that the curfews existed, or it could happen again.
no subject
He was -- oh, you mean. [ he was the tutorial twice, wow. ] I guess that makes sense.
You're right, though. We'll figure out how to win this one too.

no subject
You've got him with you right now at least. That'll make it easier?
no subject
What do you mean?
[ what does she know ]
no subject
[ she hesitates, but gestures to tsuru's sword. ] Right?
no subject
[ he doesn't know if someone's doxxed them or if beau is just jumping to conclusions, but he's not going to out them a stranger? ]
no subject
[ someone sure did doxx them haha ]
no subject
...Yasusada or Tonbokiri.
no subject
... Yasusada, was he not supposed to tell me that, or.
no subject
We aren't supposed to tell humans what we are. Some of us take that more seriously than others.

week 2, monday.
Be affectionate… go on a date. [ siiiiiiigh. these tasks were made to spite him specifically. ] Do we have to go with someone we haven’t meet before again…?
no subject
You've got a girlfriend. Shouldn't be too hard.
no subject
[ it's a problem when you don't like people :/ ]

no subject
[ surely this is a joke ]
no subject
no subject
Okay. I'll make you something light.
[ off to the kitchen, then ]
no subject
Light like what? I'm a picky eater. [ no she's not. ]
no subject
[ he's only slowed enough to make sure beau is following ]
Rice and broth are probably best, if you haven't eaten in days. Maybe some grilled fish, if you're hungry enough.
no subject
no subject
Miso soup, then.
no subject
What's that?
no subject
no subject
I guess show me your skills, then.

Is that why you like cooking so much? Because of him?
