[ Kousetsu knows but it's still rude to not be mindful of guests?! Even if they're fellow swords. Either way he will just nod his head silently as he watches Dotanuki go about his business. ]
Only a select few of us were affected. It is...strange, but not unlike Ceres.

[He finds some tea and then a root of fresh ginger and sets about peeling the skin off with a spoon. Like an old housewife, ugh.]
What's it like - being "sick"?
The first time I saw him get sick, I thought Master was going to die. Used to be the way that things happened - get sick an' you die - but now it seems like it ain't really a problem.

[ It's okay Donut, Kousetsu will tell no one of this. ]
It is...unpleasant and your body is not as fast or sharp as it normally should be. There is a heat that comes and goes along with chills and an extreme tiredness. [ He frowns as he looks down at his hands. He could barely stand let alone wield a sword when he was at the height of his illness. ]
There is...better medicine to make sure such things do not happen. I have read about it in...books here. [ He kinda understood the general aspects of it at least. ]

[Shit he learns from watching TV without realizing it....thank you for keeping his secret.]
Yeah, I asked Zara about it once. Said we had to eat certain types of plants or somethin'.
[He dumps the skins into the trash and rinses the root, then starts grating it vigorously in a manner that makes it look like he's trying to crush it into the core of the earth.]
Sounded weird to me, but he said it'd help. Maybe someone here has some of that stuff that'll help 'cause what you just described sounds like shit. I hate feeling dull.

[He finally escaped that powerpoint presentation. After he got away and can bring out his CereVice, Sayo opens up a connection to the person he wants to see. The connection went through, telling him that his brother is still here.
If he isn't, CERES would pay--]
Niisama? I'm... back.

[ He wasn't expecting the sudden video notification and Sayo's name to pop up on his screen. He was gone, wasn't he? And yet Tenka and Sousei had returned before. Still his surprise is easily seen as he answers the feed with a breathless, caring, voice. ]
Sayo...
[ Ugh his eyes are tearing up a bit but he will control himself. ] Where are you?
Sayo...
[ Ugh his eyes are tearing up a bit but he will control himself. ] Where are you?
[He can clearly see the surprise. Kousetsu is his brother and Sayo did quietly observe his brothers in order to make sure they're not troubled. Not troubled... his disappearance did trouble his brother.]
I'm at the Entertainment District... [Yeah, he find himself there after getting out of powerpoint hell.] Should I wait for you?

[ Kousetsu figures that might be the case but he doesn't comment on it. He nods with a serious and understanding look. ]
Yes. I will come retrieve you shortly. [ And he will get up to do so, video feed still rolling. ] Stay where you are, so it will be easier for me to find you.
[ And with that he will head out, not turning the feed off for several minutes, almost as if to make sure Sayo is well and truly here. He almost fears that if he does turn it off Sayo might disappear again...but he knows logically that's not true. ]

...there are doctors who can help as well.
[ He's not sure what kind of medicine they have though. ] But perhaps you are right. Taking some of that medicine might...help our physical bodies.
[ They needed these bodies just as much as their real ones. No point in abusing them, right? ]
It is not a good feeling to have. I...do not like very much. [ And he's sure the other swords who are sick would agree. ]

[Sayo stay silent, watching his brother on the screen. On occasion, he would look up to check his surroundings again. Kousetsu isn't here, yet, but there's a lot of people in this district.
After returning and remembering Cerealia again, he's still a little wary. Whenever Kousetsu arrives, he would find Sayo near an arcade.]

[He's got the tea steeping in a second and then he comes back, setting the hot mug down in front of Kousetsu.]
Let it sit a minute.
And I guess medicine might help these bodies. What about takin' your real one to Master?
...Once he's feelin' better, too.

[Tanuki's Cooking Skill: +1
He flops down next to Kousetsu now that his job is done.]
Yeah, he gets sick a lot here. I wonder if that's just normal for humans or if it's got somethin' to do with this place.

[ When he finally arrives he'll spot Sayo near the arcade where they had gone times before this. He can't really keep himself from bending down and hugging his brother once he's in arms reach. Kousetsu looks relieved as he gives Sayo a very strong embrace. ]
Sayo. I am...so glad you are alright. [ He thought he had lost you bro. ]
Sayo. I am...so glad you are alright. [ He thought he had lost you bro. ]
I cannot say. But it is worrisome. Humans are not meant to be sick that often. Perhaps it is because of all the stress that Haru-san is sick?
[ He read somewhere that stress causes the human body to get fatigued faster. ]
There...must be something that we can do for him.

[He returns the hug, wrapping his small arms around his brother as much as he can. It's not that long ago since Sayo saw Kousetsu back home. But for his brother here in Cerealia, it would have been worse.]
I'm glad to be back, Niisama... I'm sorry for making you worry.
I'm glad to be back, Niisama... I'm sorry for making you worry.
If it's stress, then yeah, we should probably do something about it.
[He leans his head back, looking up at the ceiling. If it were stress, then they were the most likely cause of it. That and maybe school? Or the lack of other humans around? Not that Haru seems particularly distressed at being surrounded by swords though...]
...What do humans do to get rid of stress? Eat?

[ The hug might last a little longer than usual, but Kousetsu will finally let go. Almost reluctantly, as if he's worried that Sayo will disappear again right before his very eyes. But he remains, which is a blessing. ]
That is not your fault. It...does not matter anymore. I am just glad that...you are unharmed.

[Sayo's still gripping on Kousetsu, but this time on his sleeve. He wants to stay with his brother a little longer. Even if he knows there's no pattern or warning to if he or anyone would disappear (again).]
Yes... [He looks up at Kousetsu's face.] I... want to go back. I'm sure that I made everyone worried about me.

Isn't a quick cure the best cure?
[Efficiency is best, right? Like, if your arm has an arrow through it, you can cut the arrow out.
Or if your arm's near off, rather than sew it back on, just cut the stupid thing off.]

[ tsurumaru's realized... that he still needs to thank kousetsu for the cookies. they were delicious! and he wants more, if that wouldn't trouble him too greatly.
also, tsurumaru's way of personally thanking him will also not turn out well for kousetsu, but he's here now, in front of the door to kousetsu's room with a big carton of eggs in hand. what could those eggs possibly be for... they're for baking cookies! not for throwing at people's houses!
...yeah. ]
Kousetsu!! Are you in there?

[GOOD MORNING. It's morning and it's about time to wake up.
Sayo stirs awake first and climbs out of bed so he can start dressing up for the day. He'll turn over and looks whenever he notice his brother's waking up. He haven't even tie his hair up yet.]
Good morning, Niisama.

[ What a good birb Tsuru is being. Kousetsu of course hardly would expect thanks for something like that. But either way he will open up the door to his room with a curious glance upon seeing who it is. He's a bit surprised to see the things in his hands too... ]
...yes. Tsurumaru-san...is everything alright?
...yes. Tsurumaru-san...is everything alright?
[ Kousetsu is a pretty early riser so it's more often than not that he and Sayo are on the same sleep schedule. So waking up to his little bro standing there is not anything new. He nods silently before sitting up fully in bed. ]
Sayo...what would you like for breakfast today?
[ Kousetsu is the dutiful older brother that makes bentos and breakfast for his little bro when he has time. Even if they don't technically need to eat...he likes doing it anyway. ]
