Uh-huh. [ To be honest, Imanotsurugi hasn't been in the mood to have fun for a while. Of course he wasn't that immature of a tantou who couldn't read the situation of the places they've been thrown into by CERES, but even then he'd be inclined to be more light-hearted to lift people's spirits, and his own as well when his stamina had shortcomings. So this is different and his desire to help Mutsu... ] That would be mean to Mutsu-san, when he's in a lot of pain. A big sword who's suffering is a bad thing, so I should be a good tantou and not play around. [ That sounds incredibly serious when Ima has little intonation in how he talks. Mutsu's arms feel warm and soft. He used to adore the feeling of being held, but in this state it feels a bit more like Mutsu's clinging to him. Not an uncomfortable feeling for the little sword, just a bit unfamiliar for someone who unknowingly did that often. Sorry Mutsu, he can't really lean into this embrace or smile to make him feel better. He'd want to that but now we have apathetic and to-the-point Ima. ]
