Mm. I would prefer if he stayed nice and well. We're friends, you know? And I know there are people very important to him here, so they'd be upset if anything happened.
[ ... ]
I'd prefer if you stayed safe as well. I'm rather fond of you.
[ he actually has to think on the question. it's much easier to just move long with the emotions instead of stopping to think about what he's feeling. it's just easier to process, and he would rather not dwell on things. that's part of the reason why he hated being bored here; your thoughts wander in directions you'd prefer they didn't when there's nothing else to occupy them. ]
I suppose they can get overwhelming, and are sometimes a nuisance, but... I get to experience something new everything I feel something different. That's exciting, even when it hurts.
[every now and then lune gets a kara tag that’s just along the lines of ‘you ever want to punch your revered elder’ due to the fact that lune will sometimes push you into considering things that you do not want to consider even if he’s very gentle about it
he doesn't like this though, and he'll wander off to examine the garden. it's only when he's far enough that mikazuki can't see his expression that he'll speak again. ]

We do not participate in precisely the same way that each of you do... or that is what I had thought.
Regardless, I do not intend to allow any harm to befall the young one.

mikazuki will lift their joined hands to press his lips to the back of tsurumaru's]
Do continue to look after him, regardless of whatever may come.
no subject
[ he leans more against him as they walk. ]
You as well. I want to spend as much time with you as I can... in the time we have left together.
no subject
no subject
tsurumaru stops mid-step, and he turns so he can get a better look at mikazuki.
it's right there, a truth that they've been avoiding for weeks, and he can practically touch it. ]
I'd hope so. I've gotten used to seeing your face.
no subject
[mikazuki will stop when tsurumaru does, turning to face him again, thoughtfully]
.... mm.
I believe we will meet again.
[even if it may not be with these sets of memories, this same understanding of one another]
no subject
[ there's a mikazuki already back in tsurumaru's own citadel, after all. and if he does get saved back home without having to be broken, then...
he won't be his mikazuki. ]
So I don't want this time with you to go to waste.
no subject
funny, how he thought that would apply only to humans. perhaps it is simply karma for it to happen to a relationship such as this as well....]
... any time spent with you is never a waste.
[even if he can promise nothing more than that - but he will just lean forward to press a kiss to tsurumaru’s forehead]
no subject
this could just be a little extra time for him anyway so... it's very much like a nice dream, if it is. ]
Mm.
Where do you want to go to?
no subject
[that’s where mikazuki always feels inclined to go to]
Perhaps we can see what is in bloom.
[that’s a trick question because in his garden, everything is always in bloom]
no subject
[ but the garden it is then.
it's nice, to have a destination in mind, since it felt like they might have stayed in that one spot without one. ]
no subject
I wonder if there would be a way for me to take this entire section back with me....
[what if he just takes
the wholeass garden home]
no subject
[ what a good use of a universe altering power. ]
no subject
[but there’s just a little smile there]
Though I suppose it is rather fortunate that I consider myself on good terms with many of the persons remaining.
Perhaps they might finally be willing to repay an old man for his advice.
no subject
[ but also, he's nosy, ]
What else do you want to ask them?
no subject
I do not recall if I ever properly asked you the same way that I have Ookurikara -
When it comes to possessing human emotions, do you find yourself displeased with the array of them?
Or have you found yourself acclimating to them?
no subject

no subject
sort of like now]
Even emotions like fear?
Jealousy?
[the feeling of wanting to be alive]
no subject
Those aren't things I feel often.
[ he is blatantly ignoring that he already admitted to being scared at least once while here ]
no subject
And if you were to live longer, and to extend your range of life experiences, do you not think that you would feel them again?
And again?
Is that not what it means to become more human?
no subject
[ it's not a direct answer. ]
What's your request?
no subject
Something along those lines.
[if tsurumaru isn’t going to give a direct answer then neither is mikazuki
and as they enter the garden, his free hand will find a violet, plucking it easily before reaching to settle it behind tsurumaru’s ear
for honesty.]
no subject
he doesn't like this though, and he'll wander off to examine the garden. it's only when he's far enough that mikazuki can't see his expression that he'll speak again. ]
Do you want to experience ugly things?
no subject
[though he can guess at tsuru’s answer]
In another light, could fear of death be nothing more than the desire to live - and is there any purer wish than that?
[just more questioning as mikazuki’s gaze drifts upward]
Perhaps I would only like the choice to have such a future.
