[week 1 - post trial. ]
[ once all is said and done, rapunzel pretty much sinks into the bed with a loud groan. ]
Did we do the right thing? I mean, Akechi..... and Dave......
[ hi partner. ]

The worst thing about these trials, he feels, is that he never knows how to comfort people after them. He's still undeniably inhuman, and centuries old at that. He can only relate so much to all of this.]
...I don't know. [He voted for Akechi, after all.] But we solved one mystery, so there's time before the next one of these to solve the other, right?
no subject
That's true. I hope you didn't get in trouble, Yasusada.
[ since.... people were salty about the sparring thing.... ]
no subject
No, I was alright. Plenty of people saw Reyna-kun and I spar this week. [And he's sparred with enough people by now for plenty of them to vouch that he's an absolute maniac smdh
More importantly, he gives her a cautious look, reaching out put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Proximity made her feel better last time, he thinks. Hopes.]
...what about you? How are you doing?
no subject
[ the paranoia's been messing with her this week, but again he's a very physically affectionate person and it steadies her to have him near. she's getting better at coping, sure, but him being close makes her feel better. despite the circumstances. ]
Mmm. Better, I think. I'm not... I'm trying not to freak out like I did last week. But it's hard.
no subject
I get told off for sparring all the time back at home, it's fine. [And it never stopped him then, just like it never stopped Okita, and it isn't going to stop him now.
It certainly is hard, and he nods slowly, biting his lip.]
Do you think... Akechi is going to survive? [Clearly he does not like Akechi right now, he dropped the honorific and everything]
no subject
[ which honestly won't be very effective but he can probably appreciate the sentiment behind it. ] We all need to blow off steam, and self-defense is practical.
[ honestly though rapunzel has pretty mixed feelings about akechi, too. she chews on her lip. ]
I don't know. I don't.... I know what he did, but I don't really want him to die. I'd rather just have him locked up. There's been enough death.
no subject
"There's going to be more, though, whether we like it or not." The words are on the tip of his tongue, tempting in their honesty, but for her sake, he swallows them back.
Instead, he reaches into the folds of his clothing, carefully extracting something long and sharp--one of the metal skewers from the garden. He's very careful not to poke her as he holds it out.]
Here. It's not as good as a sword, but it's easier to carry around than a frying pan. [Just in case--especially since he won't allow the spearheads he'd gathered from the sparring lessons to be used as weapons, if he can help it.]
no subject
Oh.... thank you.
[ she knows how to use it, at least. ] But really, Yasusada, you shouldn't worry about me.... I can handle myself.
[ still gonna take it, though. ]
no subject
[Which is... a fair point, really. In a place like this, it's impossible to predict the sorts of circumstances that they could find themselves in--he'd given the skewers to others, too, mostly out of a desire to do something.
He smiles when she accepts it, though, looking genuinely grateful. HE WANTS TO HELP.]
no subject
Point taken.
[ gi-gan was really capable, and sharpay had taken her down ---- still, gi-gan had let her do it, but she knows what yams is sayin. she nods. ]
I'll be careful. And.... thank you.
