[The scene depicted in this particular post to the network at first glance wouldn't appear overly remarkable, unless it is significant in its insignificance. It is little more than a man garbed in the manner of a ninja, crouched within the center of a room.

More accurately, he kneels in a way that seems well-practiced, appearing respectful and

[Oh, its you.]

It's you. [Hardly... too surprised, really.]

Dokuganryu no Danna.

[Pause.]

Uh huh. [He scratches at his cheek idly.]

[You didn't accidentally kill Sanada no Danna while he was gone, did you. :| ]

[Video]

[getyourgunson]

[Of course he didn't. Why do you have so little faith in him, Sarutobi. b|]

BREW decided to send you back here, I see. [Still not surprised...] At least Sanada Yukimura won't have to worry again.

[Video]

[totallynottalon]

[Ouch, low blow. Sasuke is dreading his reunion with Sanada no Danna as is...]

[But he'll continue scratching that cheek and appearing nonchalant.]

Someone has to keep you all from killing each other. [Since the number of daimyo in this place just KEEPS ON CLIMBING. It'll be a miracle if nobody dies.]

[Voice]

[totallynottalon]

[There's a momentary pause at first. This is a new voice, but it's somewhat familiar. When Tsubaki told him Ieyasu was here, he assumed he had been pulled from sometime before his death. But he sounded... older.

Which meant...]

...I'm sure Oyakata-sama would be pleased to know that you're alive, Tokugawa no Danna.

[Voice]

[totallynottalon]

[He's curious, but formalities first.]

Energetic as always. [Musing. This is Ieyasu, so he can probably say a little more.] Optimistic. I just returned from the conflict with the Toyotomi, and he was pleased that Sanada no Danna had come to share his vision.

[So is Sasuke. The youth had matured significantly. Reliable.]

[forbearanced]

So you have returned.

[totallynottalon]

[A grin alights on his features almost immediately. Katakura!]

Word is that I've missed a lot.

[It's funny to think only a couple of weeks ago he was busy rescuing the man. It's satisfying to finally know what the man had thanked him for last time he was here, though.]

[Video]

[forbearanced]

Quite. It has been ridiculously busy.

[Video]

[totallynottalon]

Sounds like it. [He hums beneath his breath.] Want to fill me in?

[Katakura is probably his most reliable source of information, short of Kasuga.]

[Not here]

[i_yukimura]

[Yukimura almost dropped his communicator upon hearing Sasuke's voice. Really, considering that Date, Ieyasu and even Tohru had disappeared before being returned to Death City, Yukimura should have been prepared. Should have. Alas, he wasn't, and it takes him nearly a full minute to compose himself and his thoughts.

He didn't think he had ever been any happier to see his first friend.]

[Video]

[i_yukimura]

Sasuke. You have returned.

[His smile is a sad one. Words cannot describe how relieved he is to see you, but... who is looking after Shingen? And oh wow he has been so lost with you to pick up his messes and look after him.]

[Video]

[totallynottalon]

[His stomach tightens at the sound of his Master's voice. He'd already made sure that Yukimura was still here in Death City and he's been... privately nervous about this reunion.]

Sorry to keep you waiting... Danna.

[His being taken away may not have been by choice, but he feels at fault for it regardless. He disappeared for two weeks and all hell broke loose in the meantime... and he wasn't here to watch over his charge.]

[Video]

[i_yukimura]

You have done no wrong, Sasuke. We have no say over the decisions BREW makes; it could not be helped. Regardless, I am pleased to see you are well.

[Bit of a sombre pause]

Much has happened during your absence.

[ video ]

[wutaisrose]

[wut...

YOU, YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE - at least, that's what this face is before she's jabbing a finger at the screen.]

Don't "yo" and pretend like you didn't just completely abandon your Meister!

[Video]

[totallynottalon]

... [Oh crap.]

[OH CRAP.]

[HOW DID HE FORGET ABOUT HIS CRAZY STALKER.]

[It takes him a second of clumsy recovery to smother the look of horror on his face before managing to force an amused grin.]

Who, me? [He gives a perplexed look. What on earth are you talking about, girl?] The last I checked, I didn't have a Meister~.

[ video ]

[wutaisrose]

[Ignore the little eyetwitch for now, but she's certainly glowering at him.]

I'm your Meister! Or maybe you hit your head on the way in. Do I have to remind you of how amazing and great I am?

[Video]

[totallynottalon]

[If he's honest with himself... he does need to start thinking about a Meister, and he can't afford to delay about that sort of thing. But then he shouldn't rush int-]

Please, anything but that.

[OH GOD. He still remembers the last time. And the one before that. And the one...]
