[kamui's cooking. he's cutting things on a chopping board and dropping them on a pot and it looks like this. and he has a fairly complacent demeanor throughout the whole process, that it's a little difficult to tell that he's ridiculously bored. not that it's because it's a working day, but because it's another mundane day in death city and he is

I... am afraid I do not know the answer to this. I am still very unused to this world and the way it works that I am afraid I may never consider it a home.

[popupshadow]

It's alright. I was merely rambling.

[a smile.]

Home is always different for everyone, after all. Where are you from, if I may ask?

[ablushingblade]

I am afraid I will not feel at home as long as I am out of the service of my lord... Ah-- I am Kasuga of Echigo-- Hi-No-Moto, that is... I-If I am not mistaken it is today's Japan.

[popupshadow]

Oh. I've met someone from there. Date Masamune. Do you know him?

And I'm from Japan, as well. Though at a modern time.

[ablushingblade]

Yes, he is... [ there is a short pause as she considers the exact relationship between them. ] ... we have... fought a battle as allies, though he has sought to take the lands belonging to my lord before.

I see, you are not the only one I have spoken to that is from modern Japan... [ she is not sure what to make of it, particularly since the last one she had spoken to directly had learned of Kenshin through history. ]

[popupshadow]

It's rather an interesting sight, watching the history books come to life.

[a smile]

Though I doubt any of you could've imagined the world to become anything like this, back then.

[ablushingblade]

It is strange... knowing that our time is considered history to many. Yet, at the same time I do not know what history is true. It has been told that the man who unified our lands was someone who had died early...

No... I could not have. There is much I am afraid I will never understand.

[popupshadow]

[a shrug] No-one expects you to understand everything; I don't even think anyone in this place does.

If you want to know the future, you can pay a visit to the libraries here. They've got it all written down.

[ablushingblade]

Perhaps you are correct, however... I-I do not know if it will be such a good idea to know about our future... After all, it is impossible to know which is the true future. There are many from my time in Hi-No-Moto that say that things have happened differently than others remember it. While it is possible they could be lying... I... do not think that is so. [ But she really does want to know more about Kenshin... ]

[popupshadow]

[smile] It was only a suggestion. And even if you learn about the future here, it's one possible option out of a myriad of choices. It doesn't necessarily mean it will happen, but it could.

[ablushingblade]

Ah-- Yes, I did not think of it that way. Perhaps I will pay the library a visit... [ If she was honest, she would say she's afraid of what she'll find written in the texts. ]
