And you really think I won't worry about you and whatever that's about?
[ waving a hand at the desk again, even though he doesn't expect chuuya to explain. he sighs and leans into the touch just a little. ]
I'm not of much use there right now, when all I have is my sword.
[ he doesn't know anything about magic or writing anything but haiku, so there isn't much he can do. asking what chuuya's choice would be was his contribution, but... ]
Are you sure you'll be alright? ...You didn't do something like Polly, did you?
when kanesan leans into it, chuuya steps in to make it a proper embrace, which with their height difference is really just... tucking himself against kanesan, probably.]
You've got a decent head on your shoulders, though. Don't sell yourself short.
[ chuuya isn't stupid. he should know better than to tempt fate in this situation- especially after what happened to polly. but kanesan won't chide him for it, settling for wrapping his arms around chuuya's shoulders to return the embrace. ]
I'm not. I will do what I can, but that isn't much when what we need is out of my area of expertise.
[ his voice is soft, resigned. kanesan knows his own limits. ]
I would leave you my sword, but that won't matter if the demons come for you, will it?
It'll be better if I'm on my own-- I don't want to drag them into anything.
[which he's going to fail at doing, but! he intends to make his best effort.
if nothing else, though, kanesan's presence seems to help. chuuya hasn't kicked him out yet, despite reminding himself he Should get kanesan back to the others.]
Mm... I don't like that you'll be alone in this, but I understand why you don't want to involve anyone else.
[ he hates it! but fine, he'll trust chuuya. just give him a few more moments, and he'll gently pull away, after pressing one final kiss to his forehead. ]
I suppose I should return, then.
[ he. doesn't sound like he wants to. but they both have things to attend to. ]
[he reaches up to lightly run his fingers through kanesan's hair one more time, there, before he goes to remove the makeshift door barricade so kanesan can actually leave.]
Call on me again if you have time, Izuminokami. Can't let you stay too long, but that doesn't mean you have to stay away.

[chuuya reaches out to rest a hand at his waist, there, in what he hopes is a reassuring enough touch.]
...I'd ask you to stay, but even if it weren't better to keep this short-- sounds like you're busy.

[he just sort of rests against him, there, exhaling a heavy sigh. chuuya wants to ask him to stay, but...
best not to keep him here for too long.]
no subject
[ sigh. he really can't help anyone like this, can he? ]
Can the others help you, at least? Nathan, Higekiri, Tonbokiri, Nikkari...? Or will you be entirely on your own?

[ he smiles before heading for the door. ]
Whether our plan fails or not, I think I'd like to see you one more time, before this is over.
[ except that chuuya immediately went and DIED so haha! ]
