He definitely had a strange look in his eyes when he saw him and I don't particularly want to take chances. It's fine! I'll just, um. Watch him very carefully whenever I'm out of the room. I promise.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga is also a sword. We two were forged long ago... and even before our spirts were made manifest, our paths had crossed. In that way, we have met before - and met again for the first time in the village.
[that's immediate and sincere. it takes him a moment to continue, something both warm and a little hollow in his voice.]
He... He's an amazing person. Really brave, really strong. He can be a little standoffish, but just because he isn't that outgoing doesn't mean he doesn't care about other people. Everything he's done is to try and keep the people around him safe.

mikazuki is just covering his mouth at that, trying not to laugh]
... it would be appreciated. Let us keep Porridge well-fed with other dishes, shall we?
no subject
[he leans over and whispers conspiratorially, as if porridge is not sleeping and also could understand them if he were awake]
Between you and me, he's got a pretty big appetite, so I'm glad the restaurant has magically appearing food.
no subject
mikazuki will whisper in the same tones]
How fortunate that is. We also have a number of chefs among us, so I shall hope that we will be able to answer his stomach.
no subject
Just make sure not to spoil him! I'm the one who has to take him home after this!
no subject
Ha ha ha, my thoughts exactly about Tsurumaru Kuninaga.
no subject
Oh - right, he mentioned you were from the same group to start with... You two are close, then?
no subject
Oh, I suppose. We are lovers, though we tried to break up yesterday.
no subject
—Oh, you guys are together? That's great! I'm happy for you two.
[please hold until he takes in the second part of that sentence]
Wait, you tried to - oh. Um. Well, that makes the congratulations a little awkward. Why...?
no subject
We... were already on the precipice at the summer camp... And then... 'the stress of the situation became too much'.
I believe I am meant to find solace in the arms of another... or so it went.
It sounds like an awful lot of work...
[they were
trying to break up for the meme]
no subject
[math lady meme]
I, um. I'm gonna be honest, I don't think I get it!
no subject
[he doesn't do it very well though,]
But your congratulations are appreciated. I do love him.
no subject
[the awkwardness fades somewhat.]
Did you meet back there, or did you know each other beforehand?
no subject
Yes, and yes.

[soulmates!]
no subject
[very romantic! he smiles.]
Just like it was meant to be, huh? I like it.
no subject
[oh so fondly]
I still know little on the matters of love despite how others have attempted to teach, but I rather imagine it would look different for us regardless.
no subject

Might you possess a - how did Nana Daiba say it? A 'special someone'?
no subject
I do, yeah. His name's Amir. He's actually... who I came here for.
no subject
... I see. You must miss him dearly.
Will you tell me more about him?
no subject
[that's immediate and sincere. it takes him a moment to continue, something both warm and a little hollow in his voice.]
He... He's an amazing person. Really brave, really strong. He can be a little standoffish, but just because he isn't that outgoing doesn't mean he doesn't care about other people. Everything he's done is to try and keep the people around him safe.

mikazuki's expression softens as he listens, and he will reach out to let his hand rest atop rupert's head again. truly just like a grandfather.]
... I can hear the love you have for him. Thank you for sharing a piece of something so important to you with me.
We will have to ensure his safety, and reunite you soon.
no subject
[it comes out a little rough, but he does sound honestly grateful.]
I - can't lose him. I refuse to let that happen.
no subject
... I understand your sentiment. Perhaps more than you know.
So you will not lose him. Love has been enough to change the course of history, after all.
no subject
Yeah. I really hope that's the case again.
