shamisens: (It's wonderful to be here)

I don't know anything like that. We didn't have a lot of things.
ahappylie: (Listening)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-10 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
When you think of them, is there something that comes to mind?

[Saizou is trying to wiggle out of Okita's arms to stick his nose in Kubo's face, but he holds on strong.]

When I think of my special person, I think of a red hair tie, for example.
shamisens: (You say you will love me)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-10 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
Not . . . really.

[ He knew his father as a giant cursed beetle. His mother didn't have anything in the way of mementos . . . ]

I guess . . . I had a wooden monkey. It was a charm.
ahappylie: (Curious)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-10 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Would it help you, to have your charm again?

[Because he seems hesitant and Okita isn't sure if having it would be helpful or hurtful at this point.]
shamisens: (Nowhere man please listen)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-12 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
I . . . don't know.
ahappylie: (Bittersweet)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-12 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles faintly and then puts a hand on Kubo's head very lightly.]

If you'd like to try, I'll help you, but you needn't force yourself.
shamisens: (You say you will love me)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-12 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ The touch startles him but he doesn't move. ]

Aren't they dangerous?
ahappylie: (At peace)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-12 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you trust in me?

[He knows it may be too early to ask that question, but he might as well try.]
shamisens: (With every mistake)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-13 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's a loaded question, which is apparent from the way Kubo shifts on his feet. ]

It's . . . not about trust.
ahappylie: (Haaaaa?)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-13 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He moves his hand and shifts the pig in his arms again.]

No?

[He watches him for a moment, then tilts his head slightly to one side as he tries to keep his voice light even with the weight of his words.]

Is it about not wanting people to get hurt then?
shamisens: (Leave it all)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-13 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods slowly. ]

You can't always trust people will make it out okay.
ahappylie: (A softer smile)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-13 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
This is true. You can't always trust that they will make it out okay.

[Okita hunches down in front of Kubo and puts one hand out, pinky up.]

But what if I make you a promise? If you think it's too dangerous at any time, or are worried about our safety, we'll immediately pull out. No questions asked.
shamisens: (There'll be no sad tomorrow)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-13 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kubo hesitates visibly once more. The stakes were different after all. There's no reason to chase after something that might not exist. But . . . it couldn't hurt to try, could it?

Finally, he links his tiny pinky finger with Soujirou's. ]
ahappylie: (Satisfaction)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-13 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[His smile softens and he goes through the Yubikiri song, lightly squeezing Kubo's finger before letting go.]

And now you know I can't lie about that. Perhaps if we're lucky, it will be nothing but puzzles and a few fish we need to chase away.
shamisens: (The words of a sermon)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-13 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt we'll be that lucky.
ahappylie: (Or so I heard~)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-13 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
You knoooow.

[He shifts Saizou in his arms and the pig snorts, looking at his master with long-suffering eyes.]

If you keep being so negative, you might start looking as grumpy as someone else here.

[Saizou blinks and then starts grunting animatedly in protest.]
shamisens: (Doesn't have a point of view)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-13 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not being negative! We're underwater in a strange world. It's normal!
ahappylie: (Ceiling Souji)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-13 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
Is it?

[He reaches up to his own forehead and makes a big show of pretending to mock Kubo's "grumpy face," massaging a fake crease between his eyes.]

Because when your face is like this, you look a little big negative.
shamisens: (My heart beating rhythm)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-13 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't look anything like me!
ahappylie: do not take w/o permission (BAHAHA)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-13 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you're right.

[He makes an over-exaggerated frown and an annoyed face.]

Is that better?
shamisens: (It was twenty years ago today)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-13 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kubo makes an excellent deadpan face. ]

You're not doing yourself any favors.
ahappylie: (Laughing)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-13 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He lets up and laughs.]

And neither are you.

[He makes an equally deadpan face.]

You make it too easy.
shamisens: (Until somebody else lends you a hand)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-13 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
I . . . guess I do.

[ He chuckles a little. ]
ahappylie: (Quite excited)

[personal profile] ahappylie 2017-03-13 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He inches a little closer and the deadpan disappears as he reaches up with one hand to poke Kubo lightly in the cheek.]

You're almost as easy to tease as my friend back home. And that is saying a lot. He's aaaaalways like this.

[And he makes his best disapproving scowl with forehead wrinkles and all. He deepens his voice as far as it can go (not much) and says:]

"Souji, why can't you be more adult? Souji, why is my tea cold? Souji, why did I let you convince me to have a page? This is annoying."
shamisens: (Would you promise to be true)

[personal profile] shamisens 2017-03-13 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not . . . always like this. At least I wasn't.
