[pushpin]

ok 1st a all why the fuck am i funny
2nd a all dont call me that

[swordhardy]

It's not a bad thing. Other people usually avoid asking me questions

What should I call you then?

[pushpin]

bcoz theyre afraid a u ?

my name ???

[swordhardy]

That's probably one reason

Guanshan??

[pushpin]

[it's a pretty good motivator for him, but... Rokurou's over there, and he's over here. safe.]

bcoz ur a fuckin meathead ??

& thaaaats my first name

[swordhardy]

Youuuuu'd have to ask them, not me. I'm just the innocent daemon

What's it mean?

[pushpin]

well whatever
guess its my job now to make sure u get heard

uh
close mountain
not close as in nearby but close as in shut

[swordhardy]

So....... you're going to ask me about swords then?

Really? That's kind of cool

[pushpin]

didnt i already

..........it is ?

[swordhardy]

You asked about fighting. Swords are different!

Sure. I think so, anyway

[pushpin]

if i ask u about swords can u just
get it outta ur system so we never gotta talk about it ever again

i guess
what does rangetsu mean ?

[swordhardy]

Nnnnno. That's impossible, it'll never be out of my system

Rangetsu? Seventh lunar month. Rokurou means sixth son

[pushpin]

then i aint askin !
oh that reminds me
did u talk to any of em ? the sword guys here
we got more now

ur whole family is jus named after a month ?
any reason
why

[swordhardy]

Yeah I have! There are more now? Amazing, they're the best

That's just how it is? I never really thought about it. Not like I picked it

[pushpin]

theyre weird
idk it pisses me off sometimes
r u gonna use 1 of em ? i been up close w/ hasebe
w/....the actual blade i mean but hes the only 1

oh
i thought maybe somethin important happened that month
i guess its still better than mine, its just literally " dont " lol

[swordhardy]

I don't know. If they'd let me train with them, sure, but... from what I understand the sword's their vessel. Not sure I'd want to risk breaking it. Hasebe, huh? Mm, he's pretty... well. He's probably who I know best too

Well " don't " is more interesting than " sixth "

[pushpin]

souza might
hes wreckless
& probly wants broken anyway
but could u ? knowin theyre actually spirits or whatever & not just things
tools
if u did break 1 of em uve got that on ur head

guess so
maybe if we get married after all we can just combine em
mogetsu...... the month of dont

[swordhardy]

I already have plenty on my head. I could. I think I mentioned this before, but malakhim are something I'm familiar with. Where I'm from, they're being forced into being used as tools against their will by exorcists, and I don't particularly like that. The ones I know are my comrades. We work together. And it's not like I'd want to break them. A broken sword is... well, I wouldn't want that

!!! You really are surprisingly poetic

[pushpin]

well sure but
theres no big war here
ud just be breakin em for ur own practice/amusement, right ?
thatd be kinda fucked up

lmao
i think for the two of us itd be a whole year of dont

[swordhardy]

Which is why I said if they let me. If it's their choice to allow it, or not, I'd respect that. But I wouldn't take them up against their wishes, no. I'm free to make my own choices, so are they. Whatever those choices are aren't for me to judge, just respect. Unless you're talking about just using something that has a spirit like that? It doesn't bother me. I guess I understand what it's like to want to have a purpose

Hahaha. Maybe even longer

[pushpin]

....yea
i guess so
not my place to tell either of u u shouldnt
im not gonna watch it happen though

idk about that
not sure i can stand my wife runnin off & tryna get herself killed at every turn

[someone hasn't given up on this 'I'm the husband' thing.]

[swordhardy]

Yeah. I respect that.

Hoh? Your husband's a free spirit, you knew that when you got yourself into this. Don't marry someone thinking you can change them later!

( it's kind of cute, tbh. but mo's the wife, clearly. )

[pushpin]

[he thinks about telling him -- that he cares about Hasebe, doesn't want to watch him break and suffer -- but swallows it down instead, leaves it where he does everything else that goes unspoken]

[that isn't anyone else's business but his]

of course not
id only marry someone after they proved their loyalty & trustworthiness to me
meaning not about to fuck off & leave me w/ a pile of bills

[swordhardy]

( and it's funny, because on that they don't disagree — Rokurou doesn't want to break any more swords, and Hasebe's... good. that's what he'd been thinking about saying before, but didn't. maybe it's just not a thing for them to talk about, now. )

Then come along. Isn't that better?

[pushpin]

what, & just leave my life & responsibilities behind ?
im not that romantic
