[ It's still strange to think about tsukumogami and things like that, even though he's carrying one right now.... but hark, what's this?! Souji finally starts to set Sayo down safely on the ground, hooray, but he can't resist one more shithead remark-- ]
I thought Kashuu and Yamato were short, but you're pretty tiny. Did your master choose that form for you on purpose?
[Yes, he's finally back on the ground! No offense, but Sayo doesn't trust Souji completely with carrying him. Or just anything else, really. And also, wow?! Sayo shake his head.]
No, I'm always this small even before I was summoned. [Sure, his outfit probably changed a few times during his long life. But never his height. When will he get taller...] Tantou, like myself, are usually short.
[Because they're daggers. Short swords. Small swords. Even though he's the shortest in the army for now...]
[Well, he can kind of understand that? Kashuu doesn't look like a Shinsengumi sword at a glance. Sayo only met and know Kashuu in the citadel...]
It depends on which sword you talk to. [Some of them seems more human, others embrace their identity more openly.] Were you expecting your sword to be like Yamatonokami-san?
Hm. [ that's a question that Souji doesn't automatically dismiss. ] Kind of. Yamato's pretty bloodthirsty. That nature of his makes sense.
[ anyone else would think it was problematic, but not Okita Souji. ]
Then again, I haven't seen Kashuu fight seriously yet, so maybe he's the same? [ he looks down at Sayo. ] Maybe all tsukumogami are merciless during battle.
We have to be. If we don't, we may fail and break in battle.
[Even if it's hard for Kousetsu. Sayo knows they all need to do their part in the war they're in back home. Sayo's pause for a moment, before he speaks.]
Kashuu-san can fight, but he knows how to hold himself back better than Yamatonokami-san.
...Actually, maybe I shouldn't be surprised after all. [ after all, the Kashuu he met here isn't exactly his sword anymore. He decides not to think too deeply on that subject anymore, instead returning his attention back to Sayo. ]
[ Maybe anyone else would be alarmed with how Sayo’s words are at odds with his childish appearance, but Souji isn’t. The corners of his mouth deepen in amusment, as if Sayo had said something he found particularly funny. ]
So you’re normal then.
[ When he looks at Sayo, he doesn’t see a child. He just sees a sword. ]
Are you any good? You could be made for killing, but that doesn’t guarantee skill.
[ Souji draws the sound out, as if doubting Sayo’s word. It’s still a habit of his to be more irritating than necessary in any given conversation, including this one apparently. ]
Put it however you like, but the best way would be if you showed me.
[ ???? RIGHT NOW??? Souji casts a look around the field of flowers. Fighting while simultaneously fighting the urge to princess carry people..... ]
Maybe somewhere where I won't be tempted to pick you up again.
[RIGHT NOW?? Actually, that is fine. Sayo doesn't mind a good fight. Especially since this is Souji Okita... Kashuu and Yamato's old master. Sayo sounds a bit interested in a fight.
He looks around and nods. Yeah, he doesn't want to be picked up again.]
Then let's leave this field. Until there's... [Hm, what would caused it? All he can see are flowers, so.] ... no more flowers around us.
[ The prospect of a fight is always enough to put Souji in a good mood! Not that he wasn't in a good mood before, but this is different. Kind of. ]
Alright.
[ Sounds good enough! It's not like the field of flowers will go on forever, right?!?! Right..... R i g h t? Except, it seems... pretty long. Why is VIVID like this? After a while, Souji comes to a stop. ]
You wouldn't happen to know the way out of this place, do you? And I don't mean just this field.

Intro Mingle: Souji Okita (Hakuouki)
Date: 2015-12-21 05:13 am (UTC)Yes, that's right. Kure Haru is my master, and both Kashuu-san and Yamatonokami-san are my comrades.
[One day, Sayo will shorten Yamato's name. That day is not today. Still, that means Souji met his swords. So he wonders how they handle this.]
im HERE
Date: 2015-12-22 12:18 am (UTC)I thought Kashuu and Yamato were short, but you're pretty tiny. Did your master choose that form for you on purpose?
YEAAAAAAH
Date: 2015-12-26 02:43 pm (UTC)No, I'm always this small even before I was summoned. [Sure, his outfit probably changed a few times during his long life. But never his height. When will he get taller...] Tantou, like myself, are usually short.
[Because they're daggers. Short swords. Small swords. Even though he's the shortest in the army for now...]
u////u
Date: 2015-12-26 10:10 pm (UTC)I figured that tsukumogami were all pretty random, but some of that actually makes sense.
uou
Date: 2016-01-11 02:13 pm (UTC)"Pretty random"? [He blinks and tilt his head. He's biased as a tsukumogami, but a lot of things he saw make sense to him.] Why did you think that?
(no subject)
Date: 2016-01-14 02:55 am (UTC)Some of you just don't seem like swords to me. Like Kashuu. He's the farthest from what I expected my sword to be like.
[ Not that he'd ever given it any deep thought before, but ]

Date: 2016-01-30 04:16 am (UTC)It depends on which sword you talk to. [Some of them seems more human, others embrace their identity more openly.] Were you expecting your sword to be like Yamatonokami-san?
[With his blatant Shinsengumi blue haori.]

Kashuu-san can fight, but he knows how to hold himself back better than Yamatonokami-san.
[Speaking from experience...? Yes.]

And you? How do you fight?
(no subject)
Date: 2016-02-07 09:00 am (UTC)[Good against his enemies. Kind of bad for most of the dojo students in Cerealia. What is holding back...
Sure, people don't usually use tantou to kill another because of their short lengths. It doesn't mean they can't.]

(no subject)
Date: 2016-02-14 02:44 pm (UTC)Yes, I am. If I'm not good enough, I wouldn't be deployed for battle.
[Sayo just states it. It's true, swords that can't fight have no business in the battlefield.]
