You. Harrowhark. Some people I did not recognize, but I believe one was named Annie? Aruji. An old master.

[ he sighs. ]

We traveled a lot.

[unsaid]

[ . . . he hums faintly at that, and will gently encourage tsuru to be closer to him]

.... I only witnessed Bob-chan-san, Futaba Sakura, and Aruji.

[their. different arujis. also the fact that mikazuki waited a wholeass week to mention anything besides the chicken i'm shaking]

You must be tired.

[preowned]

Four was also there, but she did not attack me.

[ he was literally only just listing the people who attempted to murder him.

but he just nods his head, although whether it's to mikazuki's list of names or the second comment is unclear. ]

[unsaid]

Four... How sweet.

[he sounds fond. they really do love four for some reason.

but mikazuki just tilts his head]

.... the others were saying things about how they felt fine.

[even as they kept bleeding all over the place]

[preowned]

Were they...?

[ oh! he suddenly sits up, and then winces. ]

Were they all healed?

[unsaid]

[also sits up! and lets his arm rest at tsuru's back]

Mm. Indeed they were.

Does that mean that you do not feel the same numbness to your injuries...?

[preowned]

No, I don't...

[ that's interesting. ]

[unsaid]

There is a chance I misunderstood.

[because he was just. really preoccupied with bloody crane in the tree. he's going to be very clear about this.

mikazuki can be sharp and all but he was very distracted]

.... and do you feel entirely like yourself?

[preowned]

Yes?

[ he blinks, considering the question, then nods. ]

Yes. I do.

[unsaid]

[ . . . he lets his fingers card through tsuru's hair then, and his expression softens]

.... good.

[that was arguably the worst part of mikazuki's excursion, so]

[preowned]

[ ...

he just leans in to kiss him. ]

[unsaid]

[he naturally kisses back?

it probably tastes a bit like relief. he sighs faintly after, and kisses tsuru again, soft.

he's not the type to show obvious panic, whether it be public or private. but some of the tension leaves him, having tsuru so close and safe again.]

[preowned]

[ after a moment, ]

Sorry for leaving you for so long.

[unsaid]

... I am accustomed to waiting.

[a beat - he lets his forehead rest against tsurumaru's]

But it remains too quiet, when you are not near.

[preowned]

... I will be extra loud to make up for it then.

[ no

but he will close his eyes. ]

[unsaid]

[well...]

If it is you, then I shall welcome anything.

[preowned]

[ he does not respond, and is quiet long enough that he could be mistaken for being asleep

and then his eyes open again. ]

Huh?

[unsaid]

[ . . . . hm.

he doesn't like that.]

... is something puzzling, my dear?

[preowned]

No... I think I'm still tired.

[ he shakes his head. ]

Was there another group? There's usually two.

[unsaid]

... you lost a considerable amount of blood. Shinobu Kocho ought to see to you shortly.

[since he was healed and all but like. you know. still should get a human repairs expert]

I believe I heard a splash as we were leaving and from the glance I spared... [he cants his head to the side] Sebastian DeBeste, Bradley Bain, Zuko, and Sheila Hammond... I believe.

[preowned]

I see...

[ that's unfortunate. ]

Hopefully they were fine. Who healed me? I need to give them a thank you gift.

[unsaid]

Cloud Strife.

[so jiji looks forward to seeing what this thank you gift is]

[preowned]

My dearest companion, Cloud Strife...

[ since now ]

[unsaid]

Should I call for him? I will give the two of you space if you would like to share a heartfelt moment.

[cloud would hate that]

[preowned]

You don't have to, as every moment I share with him is heartfelt.
