If you can slash a bird out of the sky, I don't really think you're someone I'd like to get in a sword fight with. Not that I have any intentions of attacking you, of course.

Iwasawa's Room (Survivor Aichi)

-...?-

-He looks back to Iwasawa when he hears her begin playing...-

-...And then she sings.-

-He stays silent and simply listens.-

-...It's...-

-...rather nice, actually...-

-Part of him just wants to close his eyes and focus on the music, but he still doesn't feel comfortable doing that...-

-He hates having his eyes closed for too long... Once again, he's had to keep himself constantly alert for so long...-

-The idea of just closing his eyes and just tuning everything out feels like he's leaving himself open to attack.-

-It'd be nice if he could, but he just can't...-

-...But still, the song is very nice... and he almost feels a little better hearing it.-

Ghh— Gate of Babylon!

(a golden ripple opens up to the side of Alice, out of which shoots... stone tablets?)

(...oh. those are news tablets.)


Oh, that wasn't me that cut swallows. It was this one kid who wanted so bad to be my student, thinking I was a swordsman.

(sheaths the Monohoshizao, hanging it back up on the wall)

Well, you are, aren't you? Even if it's not the first thing you'd call yourself, it still seems like it fits.

Iwasawa: (reaches the end with a small flourish, stops and looks back over at Aichi) ...used to busk on the street. Some people said they thought I could sell albums.

Tsst! Tsst!

(Caster shoots more tablets in a bid to dissuade Alice from picking up the ones already on the ground)


(shakes her head)

Never taken a life - well, at least not during my human life.

god dammit now she's just staring at you from a distance

"must be a high class chef", surely thinking to herself

At least to me, killing people isn't the most important part. It's knowing how to use them.

#1320585: Jun 18th 2018 at 12:32:09 PM

...Hmph.

(Caster waves his hand, causing all the tablets he shot out to vanish in gold particles)

(granted, he's still staring down Alice, though his combative expression has given way to a curious one)


...Mm, I guess it depends on your personal standards. But I don't like to call myself a swordsman - most I've ever done with them is test their sharpness.

Far be it from me to tell someone else what to call themselves! I'm no high and mighty arbiter of who gets to be what.

Iwasawa's Room (Survivor Aichi)

"I know you could. You're extremely talented."

-Huh, he said that with surprisingly confidence.-

-...A confidence he hasn't had in a long while... Before the apocalypse started he was actually very healthily confident.-

-Very idealistic still, perhaps even naive, but he was still confident.-

-He was confident in his friends, the world... himself...-

-Perhaps this is a small piece of that part of him... A piece that remains somewhere deep down inside the now broken man.-

-He has a small, but once again weary, smile.-

-He's never going to be able to lose that weariness present in it, is he...?-

Well, at least I can pride myself on being a Saber-class that technically isn't a swordsman.

(brow slightly furrows)

Iwasawa: I could have, yeah...had the contract in my hands and everything...

(Hmm...is it now her turn to become faraway?)

Not from this place, if that is what you are wondering.

Iwasawa's Room (Survivor Aichi)

-He loses the smile upon seeing her get distant.-

"...?"

-He says nothing, instead waiting to see what she does and/or hear what she says.-

-He doesn't want to ask her. It's clear it made her become distant, but if she wants to say anything on her own she can.-

-He knows he wouldn't want someone to bother him about things like that either.-

#1320595: Jun 18th 2018 at 1:00:22 PM

Iwasawa: ... (suddenly shakes her head to snap out of it) Sorry - I think I drifted off there. The past is past - no point in worrying about what could have been now, right?

I'm sure it sounds fairly trite, but that's vastly preferable to taking pride in using your swords to kill a bunch of people.

Of course, I'm a little bit of a hypocrite for saying that! I've taken part in spilling more than my fair share of blood.

#1320597: Jun 18th 2018 at 1:07:51 PM

Heh. I mean, I was born into a climate of civil war. So I guess everyone's attitude to killing was laxer back then.


I could have. But such things do not suit me any longer.

-He nods.-

"Yeah, we need to focus on the present and future..."

"...Sometimes it's all you can do..."

Iwasawa: (looks back over at Aichi's outfit) I hope you've been getting enough to eat and stuff, at least. Constant stress 24/7 isn't going to help you long-term.

next post is last - need to go soon
