Cooking is Mitsu-bou's thing... Kara-bou started helping him though. There are a lot of mouths to feed in the citadel.

[ he climbs onto the counter to sit. ]

I served a lot more families than he did though. I didn't stay with the Date as long as him.

[coastal]

Oh - right, he mentioned that...

[that tsuru wandered around a little bit more. but lili is at least familiar enough with the kitchen now and doesn't need kara's guidance. she can't help but think that it's nice that tsuru will stay with her while she cooks -

it'd probably be a little lonelier to be in here by herself]

Do you have a master you're very attached to too?

[preowned]

Attached to...?

[ he has to think about it, kicking his feet lightly in the air. ]

I think many of them had good points! And others were... better than others.

[coastal]

You don't have a Masamune-kou...

[one that he likes more than others.... but she just nods a little bit at that]

None that you really idolize, though. Is it because you passed hands so often?

[preowned]

I was actually taken by the Date clan while I was placed in a shrine. Stealing from places like that isn't really something I approve of, you know?

[ he laughs lightly ]

I have much to be thankful for though, because I would not be close to those three if it wasn't for our connection to Date. But no, there isn't really anyone who stands above the rest.

[coastal]

What—

[she actually looks away from her cooking at that, glancing back at him in confusion]

... Oh - yeah I guess a sword really wouldn't be able to really protest being stolen...

[preowned]

It's pretty rude!

[ that's a word for it ]

I am a little jealous of those who have very strong attachments to their old masters though.

[coastal]

Jealous?

[she wasn't expecting that]

Why?

[preowned]

They always get this really shiny look in their eyes when they talk about them...

[coastal]

[sdlkfj]

You just want a shiny look in your eyes...

[a beat]

Hey, what do you like about Lune anyway?

[preowned]

[ the change in topic makes him tilt his head ]

Do you mean in general? Or romantically?

[coastal]

[she shrugs]

Either.

... he seems really prim and eloquent, doesn't he? Like the type of person that would seem to fit in very well in a museum, stowed away with jewels and regal artifacts.

But he's very caring for others, and he's always willing to lend you aid no matter the circumstances. Lune is very funny, even if sometimes people might not realize right away that he's telling a joke. He's thoughtful, and strong, and he manages to surprise me in some way in every interaction.

[coastal]

[lili will spare a glance at him when he speaks looking thoughtful for a moment before offering - ]

It's not really the exact same look that Ookurikara gets when he talks about Masamune-kou....

But you did get a little shinier.

[that's what she was getting at, probably]

[preowned]

[ this was

so extremely gay

but tsuru just blinks, and then he smiles a little sheepishly. ]

Is that so...

[coastal]

[IT ABSOLUTELY WAS AND LILI HAS JUST

ACCEPTED THAT TSURU IS SUPER FUCKING GAY]

Mm-hmm. It was a little cute actually.

[it's hard to tell if she's roasting or being sincere but here we are]

Are you going to try to see each other even after all of this is over?

[preowned]

... I don't know.

[ it's cute how lili assumes they have discussed this. ]

If I am still myself, I wouldn't mind.

[coastal]

[ . . . . ]

You don't think that for all his capabilities, he wouldn't be able to figure that out?

[how much can the signs actually do]

You should ask. If you like someone that much, it only makes sense to want to see them again, right?

[preowned]

[ he wonders if it would be easier or harder to explain if she knew who lune was ]

I may ask. It just hasn't seemed as important when he's dealing with what's going on here.

[coastal]

.... well, I don't think looking to the future is bad.

[especially since they don't have a lot of time]

If anything, wouldn't it make him happy to know that you still want to be with him after this?

Though I guess you might have things to do in your own homes...

[oh - ]

I do want to make sure that we can all visit each other after this is done, though. I already told Ookurikara that he and you and all of your comrades are welcome to visit my lands.

[preowned]

Liliiiiiii!

[ he looks so happy about that ]

You'll show us around and everything?

[coastal]

Sure, I'm pretty sure my exile doesn't count anymore.

[she shrugs]

The Water Tribe has the most beautiful lands in all of Kouka - you'll see just how majestic it is for yourself.

[preowned]

[ tsuru has no idea what she's talking about because he died before she got to shared her backstory with him

but he just nods anyway ]

As long as you can surprise me I'll be impressed.
