... What a day. [...] And we didn't decide what to do about Firefly.

[are they just... going to awkwardly let her roam free...]

[rippled]

... we did not, no...

[ the way they had a whole hour to discuss things like that and yet ]

[kumeyuri]

... We should probably figure that out.

[LIKE... IT'S THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM NOW...]

[rippled]

Even if everyone decides that they're fine with her, Anders never would.

[ and anders is uh

anders. ]

[kumeyuri]

...

That guy's a loose cannon especially now, huh.

[he sympathizes but also it's yikes.]

[rippled]

I thinks so. Hawke seemed to be one of the only people who has been able to consistently calm him down.

the pros and cons of having a castmate. ]

[kumeyuri]

... He does have other friends here, at least. Hopefully that'll help.

[rippled]

Hopefully. But sometimes, there's just a person in particular who...

[ they trail off ]

[kumeyuri]

... Who you'd do anything for?

[rippled]

Yes. Someone like that. Not that I know if that's what Hawke is to him.

[ but, you know. the way they reacted towards each other did imply a large deal of importance. ]

[kumeyuri]

... Well, in a place and situation like this, I think most people will cling even further to what's familiar, even if they didn't back home.

[rippled]

... that's true.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing to have people you know here with you.

[kumeyuri]

All things considered... [uruha thinks.] I think I'm glad I don't.

[rippled]

I'm glad I don't, too.

... it kind of seems like it would be more of a headache.

[kumeyuri]

Anyone specific you're thinking of?

[rippled]

[ they close their eyes. ]

Hmm... my partner. I would not want him to be in a situation like this.

[kumeyuri]

[with a tilt of his head, even though saber can't see it,]

Your partner in combat, or...?

1/2

[rippled]

[ they open their eyes so suddenly ]

–yes! In combat!

[rippled]

[ saber clears their throat awkwardly. ]

... Iori is a very skilled swordsman, and intelligent, but I do not think this type of situation would be good for him.

[kumeyuri]

... Okay, that was a very vehement proclamation, so now I'm wondering about your partner status.

[are you okay there, saber.]

What makes you say that?

[rippled]

[ they ignore the first part of what uruha says. ]

Iori is... It's difficult to explain. He would work very hard to solve trial, and would check on everyone, and he'd probably be very well-liked.

But do you ever meet someone who shines just a little too brightly?

[kumeyuri]

... I don't know about too brightly, but I've met people who were like the sun.

[there is a note of yearning in his tone and eyes so you get no points for guessing who he's thinking about. grows closer to becoming homotaro.]

[rippled]

[ ... ]

Like the sun...?

[kumeyuri]

People like Rokuhira-san! [WHY DID YOU ASK FOR CLARIFICATION NOW URUHA'S AT IT] It's like... whenever he was around, you couldn't help but be drawn in by his presence, and it felt like everything was bright and clear as long as he was there.

[rippled]

[ fucking help ]

Ah... he's the one who had made your sword, right?

[ the name rings a bell. ]
