[ No matter what happens, Mutsu always tries to make Ima smile. If they are together and one of them isn't a good place, even when it's Mutsu himself... he puts the tiny tantou and his happiness first. In most cases, he would gladly take it because cheering up the little bird cheers up the loud, active puppy...
Ima hugs back tightly, hiding his face by trying to bury it into Mutsu. That muffles his voice a little but he sounds rather distressed. ]
But it wasn't one of those scary monsters this place has that I fought off... It was just a person.
[ Even if Mutsu was a sword that has never cut anyone, he's still pretty good at his efforts to comfort the small tantou. Stress leads to back stiffness, so the gentle rub is appreciated. ]
... I don't know. Someone else would have died? More than one?
[ Ima stares at his vessel. Later on, when the other get back from their demises, he might feel fortunate with how it played out, even if it can't be called ideal. He almost ended up a rasetsu blood snack! For now, he just a conflicted sword with an uchigatana friends who is trying to help, even when he doesn't know the whole thing and that could be better, could be worse. ]
I don't feel well... Maybe I should eat something and it'll get better.
[ His attempt to get off the bed is less than graceful. As in, he literally tries to roll off Mutsu's bed, but someone here's very likely to intervene before Ima lands on the floor. ]
( That dangerous of a situation? What did Ima get himself into... )
Then that's the price ya paid. ( One life for the lives of others. ) It might not be a fair price but it's the best one ya got so you gotta make best with what you have.
( Bad advice, really. Definitely not the best advice... but maybe he should heed his own words and make the best with what he has to give. As Ima begins to roll over, Mutsu is careful to follow the movement. Before he can hit the floor, he's already sweeping Ima up off his feet and holding him in his arms, )
And some rest.
( He's up and gently, he'll lower Ima onto the ground next to him. As much as he wants to carry him as he is, it's important for Ima to move forward on his own right now, )

Hmmm.
( What does one exactly say here? )
I might not be the best one to talk to about these things. ( He's never killed. He's never even cut. ) I don't really know what to say.
But maybe you gotta ask yourself right now... what would've happened if ya done nothing? Woud ya be better or worse right now?
