[Souji has wondered before if maybe, just like some traits seem to jump from owner to sword, sometimes the reverse will also happen. He's never had much of a temper at all - or maybe, just like feeling bad after killing, it was something he'd learned how to shut off and not feel anymore, because that made him more useful as a weapon. But Kashuu seems to certainly make up for both of them, and sometimes the inverse proportion of how they react to a situation seems to create some strange correlation of its own.

Or maybe he just left Kashuu with a lot more to be angry about. After all, if things hadn't been resolved the way they were recently... maybe he would've grown angry in his loneliness too. It wasn't as if he'd never felt resentful, after all.

Either way, while he does sympathize with the emotion, he still can't bring himself to get properly agitated. He just makes a small grimace and pokes the plastic experimentally.]

I probably can't swim very well like this either. [He leans experimentally against the side next, and it does indeed shift a little in that direction, but... well, not much.] The chances of someone seeing us and being able to help out are pretty slim, right? So we're just going to have to try to make this thing move after all. Probably by making it roll, I guess.

[A self-deprecating little smile, and he looks away.] At least you're pretty strong, huh?
