( It’s been a slow day at the citadel, at least, for actual shounen-notmermaid-turned-person, Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki. He’s finished his field work with plenty of time and energy to spare and without any missions to go on, he’s decided to have some fun for himself.

… Unfortunately, a certain saniwa has hidden their phone away. Wow, talk about no fun. He really wanted to play that one game again. You know, that one game everyone is playing these days according to the colorful ads on tv. He was getting the hang of it the other day. Actually, he’s pretty sure he was even winning! And he was making so many new friends with those “invites.” Well, you can hide your technology from Mutsu but you can't defeat him.

As much as he enjoys this new time, he still enjoys a lot of the old traditions, just like his first master. Which is why you can find him outside, crouched on the ground in front of a small fire pit, roasting some yams he picked while working the field earlier. It's a little out of season but the seasons don't run his life, they don't control his story.

Before you can ask (were you even going to?) Mutsu notices you hanging around and beckons to come over. Yes, even if you’re a particularly stubborn Shinsengumi sword.

Hey! C'mon over here!

[#BUTTMAD LIFE. No one's gonna bring him down... in his mission to be as sour grapes as possible over these dumb things?! Well, he's simmered down enough what with being stuck here with every other manner of sword already, so surely they'll reach Friendship Yam Status eventually.

Now does not seem to be the time, though... He brushes off the comment essentially calling him out on his rude and blatant lie, head canting to the side.]


What is it that you need help with? [For a second it looks like he'll just continue standing at a distance, but no, he eventually does start to trundle over... But he also retains the cool politeness that screams "I'M HELPING YOU OUT OF OBLIGATION AND NOT FRIENDSHIP."]
retrospectful: (ah.......)

[DARE HE... Yeah he dare, if only because he wants to get a better look at all these yams? Why are there so many yams?? Where did he even find all of these yams?! A little known fact: Mutsu has a built in spud-dar. Even Yamato looks marginally impressed, but it's quickly overtaken by a sense of vague incredulity.]

That isn't a task that anyone needs help with. [That is sharing food, which can be done with pretty much anyone. WHAT A BUTT, tricking him into thinking he was actually going to be helping out with something important.

After a second of consideration:]


Should I go get the master? [If Mutsu is just looking for someone to help eat yams...]
retrospectful: (hold up)

[Yamato WON'T LIKE A STUBBORN BUTTHEAD... But he does at least nod politely in response to that, since fetching other people is something he can do even if he's being mildly salty.]

You're welcome. If you'll wait a moment—

[And with another brief nod, he's off!!

...Only to return in about five minutes, looking a little petulant and moderately salty. He had found the Saniwa! But when he had explained the situation, the only thing he got in response was a rather firm "suggestion" that basically boiled down to go eat yams with your dang fellow sword and bond, stupid. So, immediately upon his return, before he even comes to a full stop:]


Are there any yams left.

[IT ISN'T EVEN A QUESTION.]

[tHAT IS SO RUDE--

Yamato briefly wonders if this would be enough to count as a successful bonding endeavor. He asked for the yams! Mutsu was not very helpful, and had already started eating anyway! That seems like a full interaction, right?? He glances from the yam in Mutsu's hands over to the pile of leaves.]


If you don't, that's fine. I wouldn't want to bother you for extras.

[He is literally looking right at one of the roasted ones that are still there.]
retrospectful: (judgmental snacking)

[HESITATION... The childish part of him had hoped that Mutsu would tae his obvious opening and shoo him away without any further interaction needed, but it looks like they're going to have to do this the hard way, huh?

He'll shuffle over after another second or two to park his butt at the indicated spot, but his posture sure is rigid...]


You don't need to say anything. Following orders isn't unusual.

[Not worthy enough for praise, even if it's bribery praise to try getting him to sit down. Look, he's sitting!! Now how soon can he be released back into the wilds...]

—Do you have a small one?
