You were never a burden. We were just worried about you, like any friends would be.

[All the same—]

What do you mean by not entirely yourself, though?

[banzais]

Well, I wouldn't say the repairs were entirely successful...

[he frowns]

I still find words that leave my mouth without my permission... but words are at least less dangerous than my blade - even though I am sorry for any hurt I may cause.

...Maybe it’ll just take a few more days to kick in all the way. Either way - I’m happy you’re feeling a little better, even if it isn’t all the way.

[She reaches for his hand.]

[banzais]

[that manages to make him smile as he takes her hand, raising it to his lips to press a kiss to the back of it]

... I'm sorry to have worried you.

I scared you, didn't I? When I speak more as a sword.

[uncurtained]

I wasn't scared of you... I was scared for you.

[If she's being honest, it was a mixture of both - but she doesn't want to say that. Her smile grows tender as he kisses her hand.]

[banzais]

... it's okay if it was more one than the other, you know?

[he'll be direct enough about that]

Weapons are meant to scare humans.

[She shakes her head, reaching up to run a hand through his hair.]

You don’t scare me, I promise.

[banzais]

[he'll lean into the touch easily enough]

... well, I'm relieved for that.

I don't want to make you afraid of me. We're friends, after all.
