Next time I’ll yell that before I swing at you. Sound fair?

[ it’s a compromise. ]

[cranelike]

(Glances,)

... Is that a promise?

[senjinrouha]

…

Is that actually going to do it for you? Because I will.

[cranelike]

(Yes, that's all it'll take. Promise him, Yuri.)

[senjinrouha]

[ huh ]

Alright. I’ll name and shame before I throw the first punch.

[cranelike]

Good.

(He seems quite pleased with the arrangement!!)

Then, we can both be surprised.

[senjinrouha]

[ this guy is so easily pleased, hello? ]

Maybe so. Were you just hanging around here to scare people?

[cranelike]

To surprise people.

(Waves a hand at Yuri like, "get that idea out of here?")

What do I look like? A mattress spirit?

[senjinrouha]

[ squints ]

A what spirit.

[cranelike]

Boroboroton.

The spirit that throws you out of bed and smothers you in your sleep.

(I'm serious.)

[senjinrouha]

...



... ...

You sure did just come out with the weirdest stuff so casually.

[cranelike]

It's true. That's why you should always fix your beds every morning.

[senjinrouha]

... Noted. If you do then, what, they get bored and wander off to bother someone else?

[cranelike]

Why would it leave if it was being taken care of properly?

(Casually brings up being taken care of and treated right once again.)

[senjinrouha]

[ terca lumireis doesn’t have sword spirits sir. ]

That makes it sound like a pet.

[cranelike]

Well, if that's what it takes for you to treat your things well.

(He'll let Yuri think of his pet mattress???)

[senjinrouha]

I’ve spent the last who knows how long sleeping out of inns. I doubt any mattress spirits would be able to find me again once I’ve gone.

[ non ]

[cranelike]

Or maybe an entire army is after you! You can never stop running now.

[senjinrouha]

I mean. Yeah? But none of them are spirits.

[cranelike]

Yet.

(O M I N O U S)

[senjinrouha]

That just sounds like you’re going to kill them all.

[cranelike]

Oh, they're already spirits! If I killed them, they would just die.

... I don't really know what happens after that!

[senjinrouha]

The army chasing after me isn't though. [ which army are they even talking about. ]

Death, the great unknown, that kind of thing?

[cranelike]

Hm?

(Yeah, wait, what army? Hm.)

Well, everyone knows what happens to people when they die. But spirits? No one cares what happens to us once we're gone.

[senjinrouha]

[ hm! ]

… Death is usually just that though. Death. Off you go to your assigned seat in hell, and there you stay.
