Same, same. Nooo idea where we ended up. I mean, we couldn't really see outside of the tunnels anyway.
[But the point is still the same!! And he nods along in response to Mutsu's speculation, because he's more or less thinking the same thing there, too.]
Maybe it just got worse because we were in bigger groups? Or - for us it was kinda like that, anyway. We were crammed together, but I guess a beach is pretty big, huh?
[He doesn't know about atmospheres being breathable too!! This is too science-y for him.]
And the air... it's better at the beach. At least, that's how it's s'posed to be. ( Of course, he's a little biased here, having been forged on an island, living there most of his life, and then spending his last years at sea. ) Have ya ever been to the beach before?
( Tilting his head to one side here beacuse look... he don't know your life, Kashuu. )
[Island swords!! Kashuu can understand where the bias might come from, at least; a lot of swords and people alike have an affinity for their "birthplace" or the places that they spent the most time in, and he knows that Tosa at least is a port city.
Shaking his head at the question, though!]
No, but I've heard stuff about it. [He went from rivers to Kyoto to the Citadel and hasn't had his beach episode yet. When will the KBCgulls come for him?] I heard that, too - mountain air and ocean air are supposed to be really good for people. Maybe it's just different for weird alien beaches?
( Ugh these poor swords that have never seen the world!!!! )
Ya should go! If we can find a way to get there without, ya know, dying. The monster wasn't that bad either. ( A wave of his hand, ) Ya could take care of another one.
... I'm worried about the villages though. Did ya see anyone else out there?
Yeah, I don't see that happening any time soon. [Unless the spirits decide to be merciful or something... OH WELL. His beach episode will come someday. Maybe they'll be able to have some nice tako for a snack.]
—We saw some things inside the tunnels that looked like houses, yeah. No one was really around, but it felt like we were being watched the whole time we were around 'em and Ardeo kept people away. I don't think they were abandoned like the ones you were talking about. Still, two villages like that - it's kinda weird, right?
Still more than what we found. Kousetsu and me were wondering what could've happened to everyone... maybe they're all just hiding out in the other villages and they're shy.
( Or scared or distrusting, but those go without saying, right? )
[He'll keep trying until one day he too can say he's seen the ocean...
But there's a nod at that - Kashuu figures they were probably wary too, considering CERES itself doesn't seem to have a good reputation in general and Maris made it clear when flooding the colony that they don't really exist separately from CERES to many.]
Maybe. I forgot to ask Ardeo about that stuff. [He feels kind of dumb now BUT OH WELL... Another time, he hopes.] You ended up with one of 'em too, right? I think that's how they split us up. Ardeo said each of us belongs to one of them or something like that and he took us to his home, so.
( That actually reminds him and he nods again! This time, enthusiatically. He knows. )
Some people mentioned that-- like Jack. He saved me from the river and said he expected us to be "fire" or "earth." ( Because they're swords made from the earth and forge, get it... ) And ya said you were near a volcano and we were over by the sea and it all matches up...
[Somehow there are a lot of waters and airs among them, too... THE OUTLIER SWORDS. But he nods along since that mostly makes sense.]
So you'd be "water", right? Ardeo said all fire is his and told me he could see some of it in me, so I guess it might be like that for everyone he brought with him. If it's like that, the cloud guy's probably an air spirit and Occidi's earth.
[So all they have to do is find some air and earth nerds and they'll have a full report! Excellent.]

( Mutsu is far from the most spirittual sword but even he knows that in Buddhism, there's still a fifth element that brings all four together. Of course, don't ask him for specifics there. He's a simple sword spirit and that's as spiritual as he gets. )
it explains a bit... like why Vietnam, Kousetsu, and me were so tired together before. Actually, a lot of the weird things that happened recently make sense when ya know we're in a group. ( Which brings him to his next concern now that they know this, )
Haruji's fire, huh?
( If they're split up again... Mutsu won't be with him. A lot of swords won't be with him. )
[Kashuu assumes that's probably what the Bridge acts as, but it's just a vague assumption since WHO KNOWS. This planet sure likes throwing curveballs at them!!]
Did they end up at the beach too? [Though now that he's thinking back on it, it definitely does make a few pieces click into place. He, Sayo and Haru had all been afflicted by those nearly unnatural (clearly unnatural, now) levels of energy and the inability to stay upset about things for long and they had all ended up with Ardeo together... He understands Mutsu's concern though, for sure - especially since most of the swords seemed to have been put elsewhere.]
Yeah, Haruji's fire. Sayo is too, but I didn't see any other swords there.
Yamato too. ( Which was the most unfortunate part after not breathing and the monster. ) Just the two of ya? ( Furrowing his brow. That isn't even a full unit. )
...
We should tell him this. I dunno what he'll do with it... but if it's about us, he'll want to know.
He's with water? [These elementals took the mirror comparison and ran with it... Though he's both glad to know 1) where Yamato was during all of this and 2) why he had been lethargic before. Rude, Maris!!
Just the two of them though, yep. He nods once in response to that, and then:]
Yeah, let's. Even if he can't do anything yet, it's better for him to know. I need to talk to him when he's done and rested anyway, so I can bring it up then.
[Along with his FREAKY PIGEON and its alarming message.]
[His poor vanity table was lost in this war, okay. Rough life.]
I know, I know. [Though he's tidied himself up to the point that it probably doesn't look like he needs rest at all, he's still taken some mild damage.]
We'll all have to be extra careful about that kinda stuff until he's done. [Done being a fretful mother hen, that is.]
