On pup's silence and stress...

[sakabatou_user]

Mun-dono, this unworthy one apologizes for his silence for so long. Truly this unworthy one did not mean to vanish as abruptly as he did, that he did not. But this unworthy one is concerned for you, as you already have so much on your plate, and while this unworthy one is patient, are you sure that it's a good idea to have brought him back after so long?

Yes, yes, this one knows, that sometimes having something to focus on that isn't so important, is helpful... but you can't let it get in the way of your health, or your work that needs to get done, no you can not.

This unworthy one will still be here for you, and willing to talk when you need it. Further, this unworthy one hopes you do not pick up his own traits--as much as it is admirable to respond to a voice asking for help, no matter what, this unworthy one knows you need to take care of yourself, too.

You don't ever change, do you?

[sakabatou_user]

This one hopes he would change a bit, perhaps. He has done it before, has he not?

[smilebeforedeath]

Not the way I mean. You're always so worried for everyone else. I just don't get it.

[sakabatou_user]

This one isn't entirely sure how to explain, that he cares for others... It's something he's thought about many times, but he still has no good or clear way to explain to another.

Besides, is it really that odd to care about one's mundane and their stress? It has been a while since this one has been so vocal with their mun, and this one does not wish to add to their stress.

[smilebeforedeath]

[Sort of glances at his mun, then back to Kenshin]

If I worried about this one, I'd have keeled over from an ulcer a year ago when I came up here! She can use her gay cop for that.

[Nope, they haven't at all been teaching him current language...]

[sakabatou_user]

[There's a faint blink and eye-raise. He's been paying attention in his own mun's head and...huh?]

Oro?

But no, seriously. This one understands, and he does not give all his worry to his mun, but he does take care and want them to not be more under duress.

She seems to think this one is one of her less troublesome-muses...

[smilebeforedeath]

Long story.

And if you would believe, I'm not one of her troublesome ones.

[sakabatou_user]

This one is sure you can be quite congenial when you wish to be, so is not actually surprised at that statement.

She IS being smart, and not seeking a home for this unworthy one right now, and that is perfectly ok with this one.

[smilebeforedeath]

Probably a good idea. Mine took on a game again and she's suffering for it. [Damn that smile, because the words sound like he may actually sort of be concerned, but...]

I'll never be homed!

[This he is pleased about]

[sakabatou_user]

Being a wanderer is not so bad, that it is not. This one's should be focusing on the live-action game she runs, that is coming up, and is a huge project. She...is, but not as much as she feels she should be. This unworthy one has been trying to tell her to tackle things in small doses, and to forgive herself. She has been through a lot of minorly-stressful things lately...

Yes, yes, this one knows he shouldn't be calling her kettle, to his own pot.

[smilebeforedeath]

Hmm... I wonder if these muns are the same creature...

[Totally looking at the homework being ignored in lieu of this RP stuff]

[sakabatou_user]

This one is fairly sure they are not, although this one's mun says she would prefer homework...

Still, if we are being helpful to them, then this unworthy one is content enough for now.

[smilebeforedeath]

[Helpful? Soujirou? More like rattling about on occasion, not recalling his own history half the time, making said mun look it up, and then totally not telling her which canon point he's from!]

Mine would prefer the game.

[sakabatou_user]

It is unfortunate they can not trade then. Still, this conversation has been pleasant, at least, this unworthy one feels it has been. This one's mun seems to feel a bit better as well, which is also helpful, that it is.

[smilebeforedeath]

I suppose... [Nope, still doesn't get it]

[fiery_revolution]

Still bending over backwards for the weak, I see.

never did have a good voice for this kid but I can't resist

[followstrength]

Do you think they're gonna listen to you? Showing your face here kind of seems like you're already losing...

[sakabatou_user]

It's been shown before that this one and yourself are unlikely to agree. Strength does not come from eliminating the weak, strength comes from recognizing one's weakness, and then transforming it into a strength.

my voice is rusty too, it's all good...

[sakabatou_user]

This one is aware of that, but has seen before that their mun actually seems to respond well to 'talking things out' at times. This is a form of talking it out.

[fiery_revolution]

Oh, but I agree. It was my own weakness and lack of foresight that gave me this pretty appearance. I grew much stronger after the government failed to kill me, did I not? I turned my immolation into a grand source of strength.

[sakabatou_user]

This one supposes that is one way to look at it. It is hardly the choice for everyone though, and it should not be forced on anyone.

[fiery_revolution]

It's only by overcoming trials that people become strong. If they aren't tested, they'll never evolve. If they don't make it through the trial, then they didn't deserve to in the first place.
