( Despite his lack of energy and motivation these days, he's still been pushing himself. Mutsu promised Haru he would work hard here and so he still goes to work, still tries to do his best, and honestly, any chance to get out of bed, out of the apartment, and outside doing something made him feel somewhat better. Of course, it only leaves him feeling more worn and exhausted upon his return. Right now, he could just fall asleep in the middle of the room..

But Haru is home today and he knows Haru hasn't been 100% either. It isn't in the same way as him and Kousetsu but he's been missing sword practice lately, hasn't he? It's not like Haru to skip things. Haru is also the type to worry so he stands up a little straighter when he sees Haru. He's fine. Or at least, he will be. He's in a constant state of fatigue these days but it's nothing to trouble Haru with.

There's an invitation to sit beside him and he's never been one to decline. After all, as a sword, he's most content by the side of his master... even if it is to just watch tv. So he comes over, )

Nah, I'm okay. I wouldn't wanna interrupt ya. ( His reading. He wouldn't want to interrupt that with unnecessary noise. But he also knows Haru isn't the type to mind... and he deliberates on this for a moment before he leans a bit against Haru, tilting his head a bit to get a better look at the book he's reading. It's a feint.

Mutsu's tried to push himself, he's tried to rest, he's tried to take care of himself... but he can't seem to improve. He's done everything, it seems, except bother-- no, ask-- Haru for a moment of his time through this. He's never been one to ask for much from Haru. Sure, he asks for little things like an extra slice of castella or an hour on his tablet but he's never demanded more of Haru's time than he's ever needed to. He's a simple, old-fashioned sword. He doesn't need constant attention like some of the others. ) What're ya reading?

[ he's quiet and content as mutsu settles beside him, his only reaction to being leaned on one of shifting to make it more comfortable for them both. at the question, he glances up at mutsu, pale eyes warm and fond, and turns the book so that the spirit can see the cover. ]

It's called Through the Looking Glass. I've read it before, but.. I found it here, so..

[ he hesitates, then frees a hand, lifting it to smooth a few strands of hair back from mutsu's face. ]

You've been really tired lately. Are you okay? [ it's just so weird seeing mutsu looking so worn-out and drained. ] Did you want me to make some tea for you..?

( It's a strange title for a book, he thinks, tilting his head some to see the cover. With a title like that, he can't really guess what the story is about. Perhaps, it's a book of poetry? Luckily, he doesn't have to think too much about it. He let's Haru brush back his hair but as soon as he asks if he's fine, he begins to sit up.

He doesn't want Haru to worry. He's fine. He'll prove it. )

I'm okay! ( Exhausted but okay. ) Everything's okay so don't worry. I'm guess I'm just a li'l under the weather right now, haha... Something's probably going around.

( Because there's Vietnam and Kousetsu and Doutanuki... of course, he and Vietnam have begun to figure out Ceres might be behind this. Granted, it's just a hunch but...the timing and order of things made sense. But there's no reason to worry Haru. )
