FOR GABE | confusion.

[reliance]

[ when waking up in strange new places, it might be appropriate to perhaps first question where you are. of course, if you're rokuro, that entire step might be skipped completely in your mind in favor of more important things.

like? like what. like going around this park looking for one (1) master, of course.

is he entirely focused on where, exactly, he's walking? maybe not entirely.

in fact, he might be doing the whole bumping into someone thing while he has his head turned elsewhere. ]

[ Granted, it is Rokuro who bumps into him.

That, however, does not stop Yukimura from offering heartfelt apologies after he regains his footing. ]

I am most sorry! Are you all right?

[reliance]

[ oh, there's the impact. it's almost a reflex to reach for a weapon at this time, but his hand stops midway to his clothes. instead, rokuro's going to... take a minute to stare at the person he bumped into.

not familiar, but. ]

It was my mistake. [ bluntly. yeah, he's still looking around-- ]

[cubofkai]

[ Yukimura is a little confused by the reaction, head tilting to the side. He does not recognize this man either, but he will go ahead and ask: ]

Are you looking for something?

[reliance]

[ a glance up. the suspicion that's naturally there doesn't show through rokuro's expression or body language, but it is there.

the pause is short, almost as if he had been considering what to say. ]

A person.

[cubofkai]

Ah, I see! What do they look like? I will tell you if I have seen them!

[ Puppy, always helpful. You can almost see his tail wag. ]

[reliance]

That's fine.

[ . . . what an eager beaver. rokuro's not really used to that. not like he was going to describe his lord just yet, anyway. ]

And you are?

[cubofkai]

I am Sanada Genjirou Yukimura, General of the Takeda Army.

[ He calms for a half-second to put his heels together and bow politely in greeting. ]

[reliance]

[ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .



uh. the apathetic stare of one sanada yukimura's page might have gotten a bit colder, with the narrowing of his one eye. ]

Are you certain about that?

[cubofkai]

[ That was not what he was expecting in response. Yukimura's eyebrows go up, looking almost offended despite himself. ]

Of course. I have no reason not to know my own name, nor state it correctly.
