sorry kashuu
Yeah.. I was thinking of asking someone if they wanted to take the empty room, but.. [ a part of him wants to leave it just like that in hopes that kane-san and hori-kun will come back.
he flinches in surprise at the date, though, eyes widening faintly. ] .. 1864. [ he knows what that means. he hesitates, putting everything down, sitting back on his heels and gently folding his hands over kashuu's knees. ] .. Do you want to talk about it? [ he's not sure that he will, all things considered, given how recent it's been for kashuu.. but it's important for him to know that haru will listen.
and then, unfortunately, the itch in his throat that's been building finally crests, and he coughs, plucking up the neck of his shirt to cover his mouth with it. .. ah.. yeah.. he's definitely getting sick. it's a good thing he bought cold medicine. which is.. outside.. where he left the rest of his groceries, oops. ]
why do you do these things
Um... [Ikedaya is a little messier. He reaches forward when Haru places his hands on his knees, resting his own over the top. His presence is reassuring - familiar - and Kashuu feels more at ease from that alone.] I guess, but it was—
["Pretty uneventful", is what he wants to say, but then he hears the cough and his sentence dies immediately. He didn't have to listen to that cough worsen over time until it became Souji's defining trait, but he did hear it once, and that once was more than enough. Especially now that it's so fresh in his mind again.]
...Haruji? Are you okay?
im shooting for demon general
Yeah, I'm just getting a cold. [ probably. hopefully? it could be strep or something, but it's usually just a nasty cold. ] It's no big deal, I get sick a few times a year. [ he knows what kashuu is worried about, especially given what he'd just come from, but.. it's important to reassure him that it's nothing he needs to think about. ] I should start wearing a mask, though, I guess. I don't think you guys can get sick, but better safe than sorry, right?
[ he turns his hand beneath kashuu's, fingers curling against his palm fondly. he climbs to his feet, then, to turn the water off in the tub. ] Um. [ he glances back, a little self-conscious despite himself. ] You were saying, though?
gives you a promotion!!!
His brow is still furrowed and he reaches out with one of his hands, but he doesn't know to test temperatures with the back, so he just sticks his palm flat across Haru's forehead...]
Are you sure? D'you need to see a doctor or something? [Colds aren't supposed to be a big deal, and conditions have been poor lately, what with the "suddenly you can't warm up" thing they all had going on... But he's still worried, naturally. Haru may say he gets sick several times a year, but this is the first he's seen.
He sets his hands back into his lap when Haru stands up (having realized belatedly that he doesn't actually know enough about temperatures to be able to tell if Haru actually has a fever), and raises his shoulders in a sloping gesture.]
It wasn't a big deal, I guess. I mean, I got through it. [This time.]
ah now i just need to depose you and eski.......
still, haru doesn't seem to mind the hand against his brow, even if kashuu's doing it wrong. he's quiet for a few moments as he returns to the spirit, lowering himself to kneel again and finish cleaning up his injuries. ]
No, I have some medicine I can take. It's kind of silly to go to a doctor for something this minor. [ haru don't let those be your famous last words. (but really, no, it's not that bad.)
he makes a soft, upset noise at the comment, gently turning kashuu's arm to get at a cut on the underside. ] .. I shouldn't have sent you. You shouldn't have had to go. [ not there, of all places. ]
WOAH you're gunning for the top
He rests his hands on Haru's knees instead now, keeping still once more when he returns to work with the exception of moving his arm when another cut is found.]
It's minor? You're sure? [Not that he doesn't trust Haru, of course! But reassurances aren't enough to ease away all of his worries, in this case. He's only distracted from that concern by the soft sound Haru makes and the words that follow, because he can already see the self-blame in them.]
Hey— I was the one who asked to go. As soon as I heard we had to go back, I asked. I mean... It was strategic, y'know? Because we're the swords who know the most about that place and its layout.
[And because he had something to prove, or some sort of fear to face - he's not entirely sure.]
