[banzais]

[he has no problem with this, holding onto hizamaru - he moves the arm around him so that he can rub his back in what he hopes are soothing circles. that's what humans do, don't they...?

and yet - ]

... Mm, no. I don't believe he did either. They even went as far as to break his possession...

[even higekiri sounds a bit judgmental over it.]

We have quite the demon to slay this weekend.

[leggymaru]

His pictures... They made him very happy. He was good at taking them.

[After a small sigh, he loosens enough to lean back without loosening in the muscles or posture really. He drops his forehead gently against Higekiri's and closes his eyes. Breathes. When he lifts his head again and opens his eyes, they're sharp.]

We do. We'll find them.

[banzais]

[higekiri lets hizamaru move through the motions as he needs - remaining still while his brother faces his turbulent emotions.]

We will.

[in a remarkably serious tone, like he won't accept anything else - it's hard to say if higekiri even took their previous missions this seriously. but their previous missions didn't affect his brother quite like this]

... we can talk to Polly and Carlos on the other side, you know. We can ask if his spirit will make it to them, and if they can pass messages along for us.

[leggymaru]

[Raising his head, he nods it affirmatively.]

I would like that. To be able to continue to speak with him from time to time. To make sure he is okay.

[His eyes lower.]

I thought I was strong enough, elder brother. To protect him. How we go to sleep without being able to wake... I don't like it.

[banzais]

[ . . . higekiri just sighs at that, letting his shoulder come to rest against his brother's, remaining close should he need it]

If we sleep with the resurrected enough times, they will be able to grant us additional help that we seek.

Perhaps I will change what I desired... and request something that will allow us to tether our consciousnesses together. So that if there is a time when I wake, then so shall you - and vice versa.

[leggymaru]

[His brows furrow, and he looks up quickly at Higekiri, but he doesn't say anything. A conditional? This makes sense with the dick pictures, but he is, alas, a dumb sword and doesn't get that.]

Elder brother...?

[He should have known... His big brother is always smart and skilled with missions, with work.]

I would rather be at your side if either of us were awakened during the night, but... You don't have to change your desires for me, elder brother.

[banzais]

Hm... It is not too far from my original intent.

[he smiles easily]

Or if you are able to be granted a gift by one of them, perhaps you can assist me in what I desired.

[leggymaru]

[For some reason, he feels pleased to be able to help Higekiri.]

I will do that for you, elder brother. Anything.
