[Sayo waited patiently for someone to answer the door. And behold, it's Namazuo! Just one of the swords he's hoping to see. He shake his head.]
No, not Niisama. But I'm here to visit. [He's going to step inside through the door, and looks up at Namazuo.] Are you doing well, Namazuo-san?
No, not Niisama. But I'm here to visit. [He's going to step inside through the door, and looks up at Namazuo.] Are you doing well, Namazuo-san?
[Namazuo shuts the door behind him, leaving it unlocked. He's in his comfortable clothes, since there isn't much reason to wander around in armor here.]
I am, thank you! How about you? Have you recovered from the jungle? [He heard a little bit from Kashuu and Kousetsu, but he'd like to hear it from Sayo himself too.] Oh, can I get you anything? A drink, a snack?

[HIS THOUGHTS EXACTLY.]
Mmhm. Shouldn't be too hard, at least. [Considering they probably can't even interact with the spirits from in here... THAT SAID:]
He was mad 'cause CERES took their Bridge. He wasn't trying to make things hard for us, he just didn't care that we were kinda in the way. That's what I heard, anyway.

Oh, I see. That's not so bad.
[It's all in the intentions, or something... but if he's going to be dealing with Maris regularly, then Namazuo would prefer to not dislike him.]
Well, it seems like we're safe again for now. I'm glad everyone made it back safely.

[He shrugs a little in response to that, but he more or less agrees. It's not like that sort of mentality is foreign to him...]
Same, same. That was a real pain! They shoulda looked into that stuff more closely before they tried to help.

[Since he's only coming over for a visit, Sayo's in his casual clothes as well. And yes, that includes the persimmon he always seem to carry around with him.]
I'm doing fine. I recovered quickly because I didn't have a lot of injuries. [Physically speaking, he's fine. Kousetsu did shield him from most of the impact. The trauma from watching Kousetsu shielding him and de-manifesting because of it? He's still recovering from it.] You don't have to get me anything... but a drink would be nice.
[Water, tea, he's not too picky.]

[Water, tea, he's not too picky.]
Of course, of course. Make yourself at home!
[With that, Namazuo pads into the kitchen, and Sayo will probably hear him rummaging around in cupboards. It doesn't take long to reheat the water in the kettle, and soon he's making his way to the living room with two cups of green tea and some little cookies.]
I'm glad you're feeling better... that jungle was really no place for swords like us, huh.

[Sayo have sat down by the time Namazuo comes out with the tea and cookies. He looks up at Namazup and nods.]
Yes... I'm not used to the jungle environment. There was a lot of surprises hidden in there.
[Large creatures, vines, the whole problem with "breathing"... It was pretty tough and tiring. Sayo glances at the cookies. What kind are they?]

There were... but there were some nice things too.
[The cookies are simple butter cookies--not too sweet, but not plain like biscuits, either. Namazuo sips at his tea, but he doesn't reach for the cookies himself. This apartment is well-stocked with snacks, Sayo can help himself!]
You ended up with Kashuu-kun, right? At a... volcano, was it?

[He reaches out for one cookie and take a bite. Hmm, it's pretty nice.]
That's right. [He nods, thinking back to that time.] We're inside a volcano. There's a shrine we went to and stayed at. But it's very hot.
[Well, yes. That's a given since it's the volcano.]
... I was worried about Master while we're there. [Haru's still human, after all.]
That's right. [He nods, thinking back to that time.] We're inside a volcano. There's a shrine we went to and stayed at. But it's very hot.
[Well, yes. That's a given since it's the volcano.]
... I was worried about Master while we're there. [Haru's still human, after all.]
I see... we were near the ocean. [Adding water trauma to his fire trauma, thanks Cereal!
Namazuo nods in response to that, though.] So was I. I'm glad he made it back safely, but he needs to rest more. [They'd all needed repairs to some degree, but now Haru needs to park his butt in bed and sleep for a week, in Namazuo's opinion.]

[Maybe Namazuo's watching TV right now. Maybe he's eating snacks, or taking a nap, or playing video games or something.
Whatever he's doing, the point is he's home right now, and may therefore see Nakigitsune walk in with a small shopping bag and drop it next to him.]
Here.
[If he opens the bag (which has a cute cartoon print on the front), Namazuo will find a fast food lunch set?
...Delivery complete! There is now a ten-second countdown before Naki turns to leave again.]

[Namazuo is indeed watching TV! He's curled up on the couch, hugging a pillow, his hair loose and wild for once--a rare sight even at home like this. He wasn't expecting company, but he almost never minds, so when he cranes his neck to see who's visiting, Naki gets a welcoming smile.
...Followed by a curious blink.]
What's this?
[He asks, but he's already reaching for the bag, so it's a pointless question. Peeking inside, he blinks again, then laughs, turning a bright smile towards his kinda!cousin.]
How cute, thank you! But what's this for?

[Ah, that seems like a positive reaction. Naki is satisfied! Though the only actual reaction he gives is a slight nod.]
We found these at a store today! They reminded Nakigitsune of you, when he saw them.
[Yup, that's it, that's the whole reason.]

[Well! Namazuo's bought stranger things for less, and he can't say he's not happy about it. So he laughs, squeezing the hamburger kitty and promptly smushing it against his face.]
Thank you! I'll keep them on my bed, with my pillows. [Strange stuffed toy collection begins now...
But he can't let Naki drop a present on him and then walk off just like that, clearly.]
Why don't you stay for a little while? I was just about to go put on some tea! [Because sprawling out on the couch is totally "just about to get up", obviously.]

[Naki's got a happy stuffed tofu block in his room, they can be strange stuffed toy buddies now! Not that he's thought that far. No, he just blinks, looking at how Namazuo absolutely does not look like he was about to get up any time soon, and.]
...Okay.
[Time for some tea and nonversation.(???)]
...Okay.
[Time for some tea and nonversation.(???)]
[Naki pls, Namazuo shares a room with Honebami back home. He's got this.
Namazuo rolls off the couch, landing on all fours like a cat. But he's quick to bounce up, and aside from his disheveled appearance, he looks bright and awake now.] Make yourself comfortable, I'll be back soon!
[AND OFF TO THE KITCHEN. When he returns, he's brought tea and some little crackers to go with it. Because snacks.]
How have you been? I don't see you nearly often enough!

["Make yourself comfortable," he says...but Naki keeps standing even after he's left, slooooowly moving around the couch, still watching for Namazuo's return...he doesn't actually sit down 'til shortly before the wakizashi reappears.]
Nakigitsune has been well! He works diligently every day. We really should see each other more often, Namazuo-san!
What about you? [He's gonna reach for a cracker, too.]

I'm glad to hear that! What sort of job do you have here? Besides the dojo, of course.
[Namazuo would gladly quit his day job to be at the dojo all the time, but they aren't exactly overloaded with students yet. Besides, painting is fun! Still, he'd thought he would see more familiar faces around--Cerealia is bigger than he'd thought.]
Mm, we should! I've been well too... I didn't think I'd be happy to be here, but this is much better than the jungle.

Heeeeh~ I haven't! I'll order some next time. [Namazuo actually hasn't ordered delivery since arriving, but he makes a mental note to do just that at the next opportunity. Littlest fox better have a little uniform too or he's gonna be disappointed.
His face falls into something more serious at that, though, and he nods in agreement.]
I was worried about him... I know others were with him, but I don't like being separated from him like that. [Forcefully, without even a chance to fight.] I'd like it even better if we could all go home, but the city isn't so bad either.

[Smallest fox sadly does not have a uniform....Namazuo should make him one, he'd wear it.
Naki nods as well, frowning slightly through his cracker.]
It was a very trying situation...luckily there are enough of us that he could still have some swords by his side.
...The city's nice, though. [Poking the burgercat.]

[Namazuo would totally learn how to make clothes if it meant smallest fox would get a cute little pizza hat.]
Yes... but it's worrying that we couldn't get in touch with him, even with these devices they gave us. [What exactly is the point of these dumb things if they don't work in emergencies? Konpeito Crush is not that important, okay.
Naki's right, though. Namazuo smiles, squeezing burgercat gently.]
Mm, there are a lot of fun things to find here. I wanted to get you an animal hat, but the fox they had wasn't cute enough.
[Only the best for his cousin!!]
