[This time, he doesn't have to get embarrassed to show gratitude. His smile lingers, and he nods his head in acknowledgment.]
Thank you, Junpei-san. There is a lot we do not understand about these bodies or about some of the things in this world, but we will still assist you if you need us.
Your company's perfectly fine, Hizamaru. It's his turn to look at him for a moment.] Sometimes I just want to be around people who're okay with something like this.
[Sometimes you just want to be around one or two people, quietly, and not bombarded with people looking for answers or excess energy.]
[Sorry, he's blushing. At least it's not super obvious or anything.]
If you'd like, Junpei-san, we can... converge after each meeting for a drink? If that's something you were okay with doing. It doesn't have to be every time.
[One of the last few people he wants to have a bad time is Junpei. And he's a sword, so being This Way is just a habit he's unable to break.]
Next time, we can try the sake, and we can drink at another place on the ship. I'll tell you a story about home. Until there's no more stories left to tell.
Okay. I'll find somewhere quiet for us when it's time. [He's!! ugh, puppy happy. If he had a tail, it'd probably be wagging.] You can keep the bourbon, Junpei-san.

He can be a proud sword. He is a treasure, after all.

You're very kind, Junpei-san. Why do you believe in us so greatly...?
no subject
You've never given me a reason not to. I just had to learn to do it myself. [He just learned pretty fast, like, after weekend zero.]

[For the distraction. For the information. For trusting him enough. Any of the above works.]

You don’t have to thank me, Junpei-san. If you ever want company, even if mine may not be very entertaining, you can ask.

I know those meetings are often... stressful.

...yeah. Yeah, I'd like that, actually. It's probably better for both of us isn't it?

There are always stories, Hizamaru. [But it sounds a touch fond.] I'll even let you pick the place next time since I brought us here.

I don't really have a need for it.
