What am I going to even do with this muse?

[inunotaisho]

Much time has passed since I left the world of the living. How are you able to summon me back?

(He hasn't drawn a weapon to defend himself (mainly because his swords are now in the hands of his sons). Yet he also seems to be feeling the situation out before he acts.)

I have no desire to be amongst the living. My time was spent well and I have no regrets about my death. I imagine that is hard for one as young as you to understand.

[Welp, his mind's been blown.]

What the....... Old man?

[inunotaisho]

Inuyasha. (Of course he recognizes you.) I never thought we would meet again.

[twotimingmutt]

You're tellin' me. I mean...

[He scratches the back of his head awkwardly.]

After that whole thing with Sou'unga, I thought you'd be gone for good, y'know?

[inunotaisho]

This Mundane had other ideas. (Ideas that don't particularly please him.) Are you well?

[twotimingmutt]

Sure, if by 'well' you mean 'bored outta my friggin' mind'. Mun can't figure out if she wants to let me go or not.

[And then he remembers just who he's speaking to and stiffens up again.]

So...er... can I ask you something?

[inunotaisho]

Is that so?

(Inuyasha's words bring a smile to his father's lips. Bored, hm?)

Go ahead.

(He is ready and willing to listen.)

[twotimingmutt]

Yeah...

[Well, he's smiling at least.]

What's it like? The afterlife?

[inunotaisho]

Peaceful for most. (i.e. those who deserve a peaceful eternity.) Those who do not deserve peace are doomed to wander in-between worlds or they are trapped within hell.

[twotimingmutt]

[He visibly relaxes at that. At least it means that the people he's lost can find happiness.]

Is Mom there with ya?

[inunotaisho]

(It's fair to say his expression softens at the mention of Izayoi.)

I can visit her whenever I wish.
