[ True, but some interaction can be done, and Siffrin will crouch by the waters to see. But maybe they shouldn't, they don't have any hot springs experience. ..And, if they do...
(Don't remember if I saw one in Ka Bue. Mostly just traveled. Can't remember anything about it, just that I went there.) ]
Perks a little at the mention of private indoors springs. That sounds nice. Though these springs are often done in the company of others, right? Considering that, they don't know about that kind of vulnerability...
They don't quite realize how they seem to zone out, blinking and peering up at him. Before they point at him. Does Uruha partake in the springs... ]
[there are solo baths, siffrin... especially in kb where one dude keeps murdering visitors in one. uruha doesn't know this. this was before he debuted.]
[ What the FUCK is happening in kb. Me asking this. Also listen, Siffrin only knows so little, or rather remembers a few... their memory is trying.
A nod. That makes sense. It's what he's used to then. Just like what might come off as strange to them in Vaugarde is normal to Vaugardians. A little distant look. (..Wonder what that's like.) This is a subconscious thought, not realizing it's there, what it must be like to have a place like that. ]
[did you know that after we saw uruha get murdered in canon the author went on break and posted a bonus chapter about a long dead villain's wacky hijinks in a bathhouse. the fucking dissonance.
he just looks around again, with a bittersweet expression. It was nice. I wish I'd appreciated it more when I had the chance.]
[ I WOULD BE SO CONFUSED, THATS SOME ???? WHITE MAN BLINKING GIF SHIT.
Siffrin watches them, quiet as ever, though more so obviously. Will quietly straighten to stand again, lightly touch his hand with a brief touch. At least, there's a bit to appreciate here, even though... it's clearly not the same. (...I'm glad I got to see it.)
Though, they imagine it isn't entirely in his control. Something like the sharing of memories. But they.. do like being able to see more of other people's worlds. ]
[ Between the icon and Uruha's small smile, I'm feeling it in these chili's tonight *starts crying
Though, the sight of it does encourage them a little, shifting to take his hand in theirs. He hadn't pulled away at the initial contact.
He peers out at the area again, at the few familiar faces he saw, before back at him with a tilt of his head. At least helpful thought bubbles are there. What a good time to lose one's voice I suppose. (Tell me about them?)
A look in their eye, that wonders if that's okay. ]
This thought happens as they look out, not really registering it. If because that's how they feel, when they think of their group back in their world. The things they'd do for them. Squeezes that hand of his that he's holding onto. (Are you.. a savior? Hero of some kind?) Why in hiding..? ]
... He was a very kind man, with very strong beliefs. You should've seen his eyes, too—the way he looked when he was serious was unreal! He's got some of the most ironclad composure I've ever seen in a person.

[gives them that heads-up, before:]
Well, you usually have to take off all your clothes at a hot spring, so I don't know that it would've been your kind of thing.
no subject
(Not really.) More comfortable to bathe in a bath or shower in a private bathroom than open waters like this. ]
no subject
Yeah, I figured. They're pretty nice, but they're not for everybody, especially if you're not used to the culture.
Though private indoors springs do exist—it's just that this area was a natural outdoors one.

... It's nice knowing that others can see it as it once was.

he pauses, before giving a light nod.]

Watches him, their thoughts bubbles flickering between the faces before settling on words.
(For a few years.. right? You were with them for some time.) ]
no subject
Yeah, three years. I couldn't leave the grounds, so for the most part, neither could they.

[Hero's what they call us, but Rokuhira-san was the real hero.]

The swordsmith who forged the Enchanted Blades—the swords that protected Japan and ended the war. I was one of the wielders he chose.
