BECK & HIGEKIRI;

[She nods in agreement at both of them, but...]

You don't have to worry about me returning. I'm not exactly in a rush to head back in there.

[crashout]

Keep it. I'm keeping the rest. Which one's your brother? [He can guess, but just a confirmation.]

Don't worry about it, Beck. [But there's a nod to Higekiri.] I'll let you know when I head back. Maybe the monitor will work this time.

He wears clothes like mine, but black. His hair is green and he often says [taking on hiza's distressed tone] 'Elder brother!'

[there

that's the description of hizamaru]

But I believe moving forward, I would prefer that noncombatants have at least one person who is armed to go with them.... for all of your safety.

[he's a protective sword]

[She glances at Junpei for a long moment when he says he's going back, but she doesn't comment on it. Instead:]

Here's hoping that the other locked room on the first floor isn't horrifying, if anyone manages to make it into that one.

[crashout]

[I hate that the description actually helps.]

Higekiri has a point. We don't know what else might be behind the doors, and if we need someone to hold back something else it should be someone who knows how to fight. [He can at least acknowledge that.] We managed to get in. It's only a matter of time before the others are opened. That's how it works.

[there's a curious glance at junpei because he said that with so much conviction... before higekiri just tilts his head]

I will hope so... If nothing else, please retrieve my brother or myself if you would like the additional help.

Would you like me to escort the two of you two your next destination?

[just in case they're still jumpy about demons]

[She wants to ask him how he knows how it works, but... Later, probably. Instead:]

I was probably going to just... head to the lounge.

[She! Needs! A drink!]

[crashout]

I'm heading that way, too. [But at least there's an actually polite nod to Higekiri.] We'll be alright. I'm sure Hizamaru's wondering where you are, too.

[Has he just taken to using the swords' names so Higekiri remembers every now and then? Yeah.]

[banzais]

[a blank stare

before he seems to get a belated light bulb]

Oh! Yes, I suppose so. I'll have to go see him. Then please watch over one another, and allow me to know if you need anything else.
