So I guess being spread out over three apartments isn't much to you guys. [ Imagining a citadel full of so much history is really piquing his curiosity, to be honest, but there's a time in a place for those fifty questions.
He rocks to stand up from his crouch smoothly, though pauses before he starts to do his knifework, cocking his head a little at the questions. Well, there's no point in giving a half-truth on this particular subject, considering he doesn't make a point of hiding his intelligence when there's nothing to gain from it. The swords? Kon's mostly here because he's interested in their history, and their masters. ]
More of just a history buff in general, really. I'm interested mostly in the Edo period, though there's bleedover into the Meiji era for obvious reasons. But there's a lot of history in swords that gets missed or messed with because of all the debate historians have about what's fact and what's not, so this is kind of amazing.

[Which he's quite pleased by! The more the merrier or something, right? Right. He shifts a little when Kon moves upright again, trotting over to the side of the counter he's working on to watch a little more closely. Maybe he'll offer to lend a hand... eventually...]
Ooh, I see, I see. That's pretty rare! [Finding someone who's just interested in history that much.] I was forged in the Edo period, y'know. If there's stuff you wanna talk about, I can probably tell you a little! [Meiji, not so much, but there are plenty of other swords who can step in to fill that gap.]
Y'know, I bet you'd love talking to Mikazuki or Imanotsurugi, too. [OLDASS NATIONAL TREASURES.] Actually, all of our Sanjou swords are here. Iwatooshi, Kogitsunemaru, Ishikirimaru...

As Kashuu settles in closer, he reaches to get a knife, halving and dismantling peppers with practiced ease despite the limited use of his right hand. He's not really thinking about it as he works, so when he actually uses it it doesn't really register to him. Especially given the conversation at the moment. ]
Learning from history is how we build our future. [ He shrugs with a crooked grin, but visibly perks. ] Really? I'd appreciate it sometime, actually - whenever, and whatever you'd want to talk about. I'm just curious about what things were like for you guys, and maybe what your masters were like if you're okay with talking about that.
[ There's a heavy dose of if you're not, that's fine, because even a guy like Kon who sticks his nose in where it doesn't belong and generally doesn't spare feelings so that he can get answers isn't... That's different, in a way. He knows what happened to a lot of the swordsmen of the Edo period, the deaths they suffered, but he wants to know about their lives more than anything else.
Hearing that there's older swords around makes him all the more curious, and his grin spreads a little more. ] Guess I got lucky when Mutsu found me in ViViD, then.

[He's a grandpa who has trouble keeping track of the time, apparently... That said, he'll shift his attention between Kon's work and Kon himself, interested in a quiet sort of way.]
That's true. [HM. It's a rare mentality to see, though. This guy is just a rare sort of guy, huh?
He'll meet the grin with a smile of his own, either way; maybe it would have faltered a little more strongly at the mention of previous masters, but he can also read the reassurance below the words. He's being courteous, and that just earns him more points in Kashuu's book.]
Sure, sure, I don't mind. Maybe after we're all done eating? Or we can chat while you work - whichever! I got plenty of time. [No work shifts on the weekends, no CERES doing CERES things to interrupt them, it's all good!]
He's got an okay track record for finding good people. [Haru's track record is somewhat ruined because he brings Actual Weirdos home sometimes...] Are you gonna be sticking around, then?
no subject
[ Time is probably weird to spirits that come from a time long gone, so he doesn't fuss too much over it. Just keeps working, aware of Kashuu's eyes on him as he starts to julienne the peppers. ]
I can multitask, if you're going to hang out in here with me while I work. [ Kon figures it gives him a chance to pick what he wants to talk about, anyways, especially when there's fewer people around at the moment. Less outside influence or interruptions, and if he dips into anything remotely personal it'd be easier to pretend not to notice a change in topics. Then again, they live with each other - they're probably aware of what's to be left alone already.
Looking up as he switches vegetables, he can't help his snort. ] Little bit amused about how okay everyone is with me just showing up out of nowhere, but you're all a bunch of sword spirits, so I can see why there's not too much concern. [ He tilts his head, though. ] I think I might, actually.
no subject
[Because time is definitely weird to ye olde spirits, but Kashuu is younger than most of them and Cerealia is An Experience™ so it still seems like its been a while, even so. As for that:]
You don't mind? [He says, like he has any intention of actually leaving... Kon seems fine with having an audience, though! And if he can multitask well enough to julienne vegetables while holding a conversation, that works just fine for Kashuu.] Then you can ask what you want, 'kay?
[And as far as dragging home strangers goes...] Yeah, it's not like we can't handle things if someone brings home a real weirdo. [But he actually trusts everyone enough to figure anyone they bring home is an a-ok person, more or less!] You seem fine, so I'm glad! Hopefully it won't be too loud for you.
