Instead, once he approaches, she offers a faint and polite smile of greeting. " Thank you, Souza-sama... there's truly no need, I can tend to it myself. However... " she steps back into her quarters, just out of sight for a moment before returning with shears — bright red handles, the blades themselves engraved with an elegant rose pattern, " if you're to continue, I do insist that you use these.. they'll cut right through with ease. "

" They've been enchanted, you could say.. you'll find them quite easy to use. " she nods her head gently, pressing them into his palm with care. As a soft breeze drifts by, her hand rises to hold the sun hat in place, leaning down slightly to better meet the gaze of the blade before her.

... well, isn't that generous of her?

He takes them gently, making sure not to cut himself on the little blades. He opens them and begins to snip away, trimming the dead branches and marveling at the sharpness of these shears.

"That is appreciated, Saniwa-sama. You don't need to go through the effort just for me, but I suppose it's a fair trade since I'm tending to your flowers ..."

The sound of a sliding door as he turned to the main hallway made him stop in his tracks ; in there, the shape of an acquainted figure. Clad in a pleasant shade of pink, Souza Samonji always knew to carry along with elegance — therefore, Kasen had archived them as a figure worthy of his respect and trust since the first day. Souza was peaceful, reserved, graceful — he saw kinship in it, or at least, in his so-called perfect idealized way of being. 

He heard the door slide close, and immediately identified the room. Repairs. His eyes softened in an attempt of empathizing — either the other sword had been wounded, or someone close to their circle had. He greeted them carefully, as to not startle.

     “   Souza, is everything all right?   ” 

to be quite honest, he was barely holding it together. he knew that he had to be strong for Sayo's sake, the little guy was probably way more frightened than he was -- and yet, that did not stop him from worrying. Kousetsu had been on a 'successful' sortie and yet, all that had returned of him that night in winter was shards of his blade and scraps of cloth beside his broken body.

she was reliving that night in her head when Kasen Kanesada stops by and asks her what's wrong. she jolts, like she'd been caught red-handed.

"ah, Kanesada-san, it's okay. Sayo just ... got some scrapes and bruises in there, he ... he'll be alright."

at least, he hoped he would. it was fine, he had to keep telling himself.

Sayo was strong.
