(He holds up his hands in an "alright, alright" sort of motion,)

Of course, I have no intention of breaking myself in battle. That wouldn't be a very exciting surprise, after all.

[perfectdistance]

[Disce's tail swishes slightly.]

Good. Don't go bein' reckless.

[He's still a little on edge.]

(me, trying really hard not to be a death gremlin:

tsuru being tsuru:

Anyway he's just going to reach out to pat Nero on the head,)

Are you giving me orders now, Nero-kun?

[perfectdistance]

[ He allows it but he also looks deeply bitter for a split second. ]

I want you to stay alive.

[cranelike]

(Casually,)

Things can be replaced.

[perfectdistance]

You're more than just a sword, you're a person.

[cranelike]

Of course. I only mean that even when I'm gone, I'm not gone forever.

(Oh, this is a rather serious topic and he wonders how to approach it... No better way than to be outright,)

A new "me" can be called on.

[perfectdistance]

... What?

What do you mean? Is it the same you?

[cranelike]

In every sense except one.

[perfectdistance]

... What's the one?

[cranelike]

I'm summoned as if I were new.

Any memories or experiences I gained are lost.

[perfectdistance]

That's not fine.

[cranelike]

It's how it is.

[perfectdistance]

Then be careful with the life ya got.

[cranelike]

My! Nero-kun is suddenly so direct. I'm surprised!

[perfectdistance]

'm serious.

[cranelike]

(Ah, how can he keep teasing when Nero is like this. His energy shifts, it feels heavier and more serious,)

This life is precious to me. I've no intention of letting it go to waste.

[perfectdistance]

[ He relaxes, just the slightest bit. ]

... Good.

[cranelike]

(Just going to reach out to pat him. There, there... Relax.)

[perfectdistance]

[ Huff.

He gets some chicken skewers. ]

[cranelike]

(TSURU FEASTS... no but really, he looks pretty happy to be eating ok.)
