Heh. I'm not much of a disciplinarian.

[ A pause, and then--]

The human who raised me is dying. I wouldn't mind having more memories of him.

[helmsplitter]

...

[Well shit.

That's actually something he can really understand. He's watched a lot of humans who cared for him die before. He was probably going to have to watch the Saniwa die, too, if he got kept around that long.]

I'm sorry. [He isn't sure what else he can say.] But I heard if you get sent home you go back to the time you left from, so you'll still have time with him then...for what that's worth.

[halfbloodhatchling]

[ Kai lifts his eyes to Doudanuki. ]

It's worth a lot.

I don't mind this place, most of the time. But he's...he needs someone to look after his stubborn arse.

[helmsplitter]

Humans. [He gives a shrug of sympathetic understanding mixed with a light edge of a joke at the expense of all humans.]

At least he'll keep you on your toes with his stubbornness.

[halfbloodhatchling]

I'm going to have to strap him to a bed to make him get some rest, and I really don't think he's into that.

[helmsplitter]

You never know. Humans can surprise you.

[Although, more than likely Kai is right. No one really likes being tied up.

Except for Sadamune Kikkou, but he was weird.]

[halfbloodhatchling]

[ A snort. ]

Maybe if it were someone more feminine than me doing the tying.

[helmsplitter]

I dunno. If he's that old, maybe his eyes won't be as sharp. You could probably trick him by wearing a wig or something.

[halfbloodhatchling]

[ Kai snorts inelegantly. ]

Afraid wigs aren't my thing.

[helmsplitter]

What, are they his?

[halfbloodhatchling]

Not that I know of. They yours?

[helmsplitter]

Dunno. Never tried one.

[Since it seemed to be pretty useless when it came to warfare, he wasn't about to try either. But here, Kai, have an honest answer from a sword that has very little experience with the world as a human.]

[halfbloodhatchling]

[ Kai lets out a slight snort and a shrug. ]

If you decide to change that, give me the chance to take pictures.
