a!

[adornmental]

[Kashuu is definitely one of the swords helping to pick up the slack, too, if only because it aligns with his general desire to keep moving forward instead of lingering on painful things. Which is exactly what that dark area of town was... Just one big, rude, painful thing.

But! He'll pause in his cleaning (actually cleaning, god, he's been replaced by a pod person--) once Kousetsu starts bringing sweets out, looking over curiously.]

What're those? You made them?

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu is surprised just as much as anyone at Kashuu coming to aid in the upkeep of the apartment. But, well, he's not going to question it. After all even swords like themselves have the capacity for change. So while the other might be cleaning Kousetsu will be cooking and he has some nicely made chocolate chip cookies on the pan cooking off. ]

...yes. I wish to try various recipes that humans have stated to be the best for chocolate chip cookies. [ He's going to try them all. ]

And I have found that...they eat sweets when they are unwell, and not feeling their best. I thought...it would be good to make some for the apartment.

[adornmental]

[To be fair, at least, Kashuu isn't really cleaning well... But he's making an effort!!

That's a really endearing explanation, though. Kashuu looks a little surprised...][Is it true?? WHO KNOWS. But hey, it's the thought that counts.]

They smell good.

[heiwana]

[ The effort is appreciated! Kashuu could just not be doing anything, which Kousetsu wouldn't fault him for, but he's actively helping. ]

They are for everyone. Please...have as many as you like.

[adornmental]

[He's taking little baby steps!! But his expression does light up a little in response to that offer, because he's an excitable kid at heart.]

—I'll just try one.

[But he'll restrain himself in case the sadder swords need more comfort food.]

[heiwana]

[ Take more then one. Kousetsu can just make more!! Cookies for the cookie god and all that. ]

You are...more then welcome to take more than one, Kashuu-san.

[adornmental]

[But who here is the cookie god!!]

Just one's fine! [Except then he takes a bite and he realizes that fresh, warm cookies are godly, and he's rethinking that...] ...Maybe two.

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu smiles briefly at that before nodding. Kashuu just eat as many as you like, gosh. As for the cookie god, who knows?! It might just be someone unexpected. ]

I have...kept the recipe so as to make more in the future.

[ In case this happens again, which he prays it does not. ]

How are you...faring?

[adornmental]

[cookie monster apps in--

But!! Excellent! For the promise of cookies, that is, not the promise of more accompanying trauma. Kashuu takes another small might, delighting in this small comfort. Kousetsu really knows how to help people out, goodness... As for the question:]

Eh, I'm doing okay. [Could be worse, could be better. He's plowed through harder times before.]

Are you? ...I know Souza's things were down there.

[heiwana]

Yes I am...alright. [ His frown deepens a little at the mentioning of that altar again. ]

We took it back with us, Souza's belongings. They...did not deserve to be left there like that.

[adornmental]

...Mm, yeah. I'm glad they're in a safer spot now.

[Those items shouldn't have been down there at all, but he feels a little better knowing they were all salvaged.

Even if it doesn't exactly change what happened there...]

[heiwana]

Sayo and I will ensure that they are kept safe and out of Ceres' hands. I do not wish to...have them fall into their hands again.

[ if they can prevent it of course. ]

[adornmental]

[Prevention and how they can go about it definitely seem like the big questions of the hour...]

I'll do my best to help, too.

[heiwana]

Thank you, Kashuu-san that...means a good deal. I will try my best to protect those things of Yasusada-san's as well.

[adornmental]

[There's a little pause as he contemplates whether or not to say anything, since he's mostly just... reacted to Yamato's disappearance by not reacting at all. But between bites of cookie, Kousetsu will eventually get a little mumbled:]

Thanks.

[It means a lot.]

I'll be going to that info meeting soon, so hopefully there's gonna be some good stuff to learn there.

[heiwana]

If it helps then...I will do whatever I can to provide support to you and the others, Kashuu-san. Your thanks are...not needed. [ So he looks momentarily away back out towards the city before regarding the other again. ]

A...meeting? [ Kousetsu will look back at him curiously. ]

What is to be discussed there?

[adornmental]

[There's a little fleeting smile in response to that, since it's a very Kousetsu thing to say, but he'll just nod to show his appreciation.]

Yeah, a meeting. Everyone's gonna meet at the sanctuary since CERES can't hear us there, I think? Something about technology jamming the signal our eye chips send to them. [He taps the side of his temple near his eye for emphasis.] We're gonna talk about the things we found in that dark place.

[heiwana]

...I see. It does make sense, given what it is. [ A sanctuary is a safe haven after all. ]

I hope that something has at least come of our time there.

[adornmental]

I'll report back with anything that's learned. Something's gotta be helpful.

[Any extra info will be better than the big fat nothing they've been going on for so long, anyway.]

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu nods silently before turning to look back at the cityscape stretched out before them. ]

I am sure together we will...be able to learn something of this place.

[adornmental]

...Yeah. It's about time, right?

[Even if six or eight months, or even years, isn't a lot to them in the grand scheme of things...

Well. It's a lot in a place like this.

Either way, he'll raise his hand in a gentle parting gesture after that.]

Anyway, there're still a few things I've gotta do, so. I'll like, leave you to your baking.
