( There isn't any confusion. Even if his nickname is the same name as another, Mutsu knows exactly who Sakamoto is talking about. At least, in a sense. )
Munemitsu-san.
( He nods. The two had been close in life and he recalls Mutsu lived for a long time after. Interesting, though, because Mutsu was only his second choice. Oryou had been his first.
For now, he doesn't say anything else, his silence being an invitation to continue. )
[He can feel it, his eyes filling with water and the air leaving his lungs. Thankfully, he keeps the tears back behind dark glasses, but this is what happens after trying to keep emotions bottled up with a tightly capped lid.
This sadness is his own fault- What has he been doing, sitting around?
( Not that there's anything wrong with that. If anything, he sounds kind of amused by it all. Of course, this Sakamoto was different so that Mutsu would be too. Does that mean the others would be different too? Those Shinsengumi guys?
Mutsu rests his head on the table top again but looks up at Sakamoto the entire time, eyes bright, a smile on his face. Like a child requesting a story, he asks curiously, )
Can ya tell me about 'em? I wanna know everything.
( His eyes widen at first until he realizes he doesn't mean it rudely. As soon as he catches on, there's a loud laugh from him and he nods and nods and nods... )
Gahaha! She sounds like ya'r type! ( Look, he knows. ) Ya better be careful around her! If ya make her mad not even a gun'll save ya.
( Sure as heck no sword will either look, even Mutsu is afraid of Sakamoto's Type, okay. )

[While his words are cruel, he is smiling- It's clear that she means a lot to him from the way his features lights up and how his tone lightens.]
Don't let the small body and long lashes fool you- That girl's a monster.
She can bust an entire rocket with her fist alone! And I'm not exaggeratin'. She's not made of the same stuff as me.
[She isn't from Earth.]
Still, she's sharp as a diamond, y'know? Real useful when it comes to hammerin' out deals. Ahhhh, but her tongue's pretty sharp, too.
