I see. I can understand being curious, as he is something we have not encountered before, but I hope that he did nothing untoward to you. That is, did you really let him taste your blood?
Apparently knowing one's blood type is not necessary, but I hope that the knowledge will be useful to you sometime.
Fine now? Was there some incident? Yet I have no doubt you would be able to soundly deal with him if he were untoward.
So long as you are all right, that is what is important. But given how unusual this situation is and how many foreign types of people there are, do remain vigilant. You are an essential comrade.
[ Honebami: the unexpected source of gray hairs for Tonbokiri. ]
I would hope so, but I learned something even from someone like that. When I sought out my past, there was useful knowledge, and less useful too. Accepting both is less frustrating than disappointment.
I will be careful though, for you and Mutsunokami-san. You're worried, aren't you?
[It's all right. No one stresses him out more than Muramasa.] [Swords with missing memories though... He cannot know what that is like, but only imagine how troubling that would be. But it seems Honebami has a good approach.]
It does sound like approaching like that would be most reasonable.
Thank you for your promise.
Yes, somewhat. Aruji is not here to designate a captain, but as I was the first to arrive here I feel some responsibility.
No, it does not worry me. You were spear of a legendary general, I doubt you're cursed at all. I was just thinking about Otegine-san, since he likes to spend time with us wakizashi.
Otegine is a good fighter, but off of the battlefield he's a little unwieldy. He isn't good at peeling vegetables, he fell off the porch while cleaning it, he has trouble sleeping sometimes...
Oh. I was saying he's unlucky as a person, not as a yari. But he's easy to talk to and has a warm smile.
I was forced into a fight with Okuni because of fairies trapping us. I didn't want to hurt her for that reason, so I lost on purpose if she didn't tell Mutsunokami-san.
[He can't help but laugh at that last line. It is so very like what he keeps saying about Muramasa.]
I understand. Thank you for letting me know. I hope I meet her soon, then.
As for the rest, I think that most people, not just touken danshi, try to keep others from worrying by hiding things. But as you now know, hiding it can be far worse. I hope that you will have more confidence to be straight-forward now. But if you do not feel so, do not worry. It will grow over time.

I'm fine now, Tonbokiri-san. Being untoward to me would be more of a hassle for someone like him.
[ He did say the worst thing that could happen was Honebami stabbing him (and wrecking his shirt...), and that isn't completely unlikely. ]

I feel like I'll learn a lot of things here. But it requires spending time with a lot of different people, not just other swords or Aruji.
[ Now that takes getting used to. ]
Please don't put all of the burden on your shoulders. I feel like yari can be rather unlucky.
no subject
[Haha- that's quite straight-forward of you, Honebani-dono.]
Thank you, but it is not a heavy burden. So long as all three of us are prudent and not overly reckless, I'm sure things will be fine.
I do not know about all yari being potentially unlucky. However, I am a Muramasa. Does that cause you concern?
no subject
no subject
Did something happen that made you think he is unlucky?
no subject
Oh. I was saying he's unlucky as a person, not as a yari. But he's easy to talk to and has a warm smile.
no subject
Yes, he does have some unfortunate things like that happen.
Thank you for being with him, even through his troubles like that.
no subject
It's not a problem at all. He works hard just like many of us at the citadel.

Tonbokiri-san, I don't think I have to worry about this with you, but you'll always be honest, right? I had to promise to Mutsunokami-san.
no subject
And between us touken danshi, I hope that honesty will come without hesitation.
May I ask what happened that you had to make such a promise to Mutsunokami-dono?
no subject
I was forced into a fight with Okuni because of fairies trapping us. I didn't want to hurt her for that reason, so I lost on purpose if she didn't tell Mutsunokami-san.
She told him.
no subject
Although I don't understand the situation well, I know that everyone had their reasons for what they did, including you.
If, despite the troubles, it lead to you and Mutsunokami-dono being more honest with each other, then it is a good outcome.
no subject
If you meet Okuni-san, she is a good person. Don't be fooled.
no subject
I understand. Thank you for letting me know. I hope I meet her soon, then.
As for the rest, I think that most people, not just touken danshi, try to keep others from worrying by hiding things.
But as you now know, hiding it can be far worse.
I hope that you will have more confidence to be straight-forward now. But if you do not feel so, do not worry. It will grow over time.
no subject
(sorry for the late. tying this up-)
Having that will is a strong start!
Keep it up, Honebami-dono.
