voice test! beep beep.
A: good route!
[ On one early afternoon, you may find Uguisumaru in the kitchen with two ceramic tea kettles on the stove. They steam, hiss, and whistle as he tends to them, pulling them off individually and opening them up to place a tea strainer with loose tea leaves, berries, and other sorts of floral ingredients inside each stainless steel ball. The tachi does this without his eyes on the pots, as he settles into a confident and steady rhythm, preparing the two different pots of tea, their flavors unfamiliar to him. The perks of living in an accessible world. He'll notice if you enter or if you're peeking in and will direct a smile toward you. ]
Would you like to try a new blend with me?
B: ... bad route?
[ Or maybe you'll catch him as he's nearly finished with his preparations, and he's on the second pot but something goes wrong. He reaches out and does not touch a familiar kettle but the stove itself! He'll yelp out in pain and surprise, smacking a spare pot off of the counter and causing it to fall. It hits the floor and shatters. Luckily, there's no water or tea inside to cause an even bigger mess, but he's staring at his hand, cradling it... looking awfully worried and in shock. He's shaking, clearly unable to decide the direction he should take. ]
C: anything???
[ Throw a scenario at me, I'll try my best. uwu Also, here's a bird. ]

So when he enters the kitchen just in time to see Uguisumaru burn his hand, his first thought is to mend the hurt. Clearly, the blade has no idea how to deal with such burns and without his usual distance, Satoru reaches out. His fingers capture Uguisumaru's sleeve in a for once firm grip and guides the sword to the sink.
Cold water applied early is the best treatment for a burn so Satoru looks up at the blade once the water is cooling the burned skin.]
Keep it there. [Time to fetch the first aid kit.]
no subject
As it flows over his palm and through his fingers, he tries to flex his wrist and stretch his fingers and he can't help but wince and draw a sharp breath in through his teeth. He's obeying, not moving his hand... ugh, so dumb. But he should thank his saniwa, for coming when he did! Though, Uguisumaru wasn't likely to be permanently damaged by the burn, but why risk it? ]
Aruji... thank you.
no subject
Thankfully, they heal quickly.
First aid kit in hand, Satoru turns off the stove to prevent another burn or a possible fire before returning to Uguisumaru's side. He peers at the wound before looking at Uguisumaru's face.]
Does it still hurt?
no subject
It's... it's uncomfortable. It's not a feeling I'm used to.
[ He couldn't look any lower, and he meets Satoru's gaze. ]
... does it look bad?
[ Uguisumaru opens his hand, keeping it under the water. His skin is mostly red, but nothing seems out of place outside of the tiniest blister on his pointer finger. ]
no subject
It really isn't a big injury, some cooling lotion and some bandaids should take care of it in the long run. Uguisumaru's undeniably tough.]
It doesn't. It'll stay uncomfortable for a while but it'll heal.
[There is no reason for Uguisumaru to be worried, even if his actions were a little clumsy.] ...Were you making tea?
no subject
Good. I'd hate to miss the next sortie or expedition because of not paying attention.
[ His eyes catch the shattered teaware and his shoulders sag further. ]
I was. I don't even remember why I kept out another teapot out.
no subject
You can make some again later, if you want.
[No reassurance, no stern talking to, simple, quiet acceptance. It really isn't that big of a deal, a broken teapot and a cup. They have plenty of others to fall back on if push comes to shove. Plus, Uguisumaru didn't do this intentionally.
Satoru opens the small first aid kit and looks through the contents.]
Has the pain lessened a little?
no subject
The cold water helped immensely and thanks to being a spirit, the healing process has accelerated. The only thing left of a burn on his hand is a faint red blotch. The pain is barely there, though still uncomfortable. ]
It has, considerably. [ Tilting his head, he glances curiously at the kit. ]
What's in there?
no subject
The sword's swords have made Satoru curious, however, and he looks at the wounds.
And pauses.
Right. Accelerated healing. He needn't have worried. But still, the seed of doubt remains and Satoru pulls out a cooling salve, opening it before giving Uguisumaru an expectant look.]
Your hand, please.
no subject
Uguisumaru, of course, is different. There's no shame in wanting further treatment, given how important is for him to have his hands in perfect shape. ]
Of course. Here.
[ He'll dry his hand off first, using a hand towel before offering his hand to his saniwa. ]
no subject
Once he's satisfied, Satoru washes his hands and cocks his head questioningly at the blade.]
Thank you. Does it feel better already?
no subject
I should be thanking you. [ Uguisumaru still feels silly. It's seen in his eyes that look off to the side, before snapping to match the gaze of his master. ]
no subject
...What kind of tea were you making?
[Because, despite the mess, the smell still lingers and it's quite the pleasant fragrance.]
no subject
Cinnamon... it was going to be a surprise. It's said cinnamon is supposed to warm the body and stimulate the mind, so I figured it'd be a lovely drink for the day.
[ He glances at the other pot. ]
That one has some as well. I am glad that some of it will be drinkable.
A
Ah, he really isn't expecting to be invited to tea, though. Not that he minds! But he's aware of the fact that he isn't exactly... the calm and peaceful tea drinking partner type. He looks around, half expecting to see Mikazuki or... anyone else really. Seeing no one, he blinks, )
Ya mean me?
no subject
Come. [ He'll start pouring the next taste, as small wisps of steam escape from the white ceramic cup. ] I think you might like this and I've never had it myself. It will be an experience for the both of us.
[ If Mutsu approaches, he may catch the familiar scent of chocolate. ]
no subject
( Yeah, about that healthy snack option... He hovers around in the same spot for a while longer and then concedes, coming over to try some of this tea. He still isn't certain that he's really going to like it but he's far too nice to decline. Ah, it's time to practice his polite smile and tough his way through another bitter tea sitting--
What was that smell? Uguisumaru will actually see Mutsu light up at the scent, curiosity now piqued. He takes a seat across and look over to watch the tea pour, )
A new kind, huh? Where'd ya get it from?
no subject
A friend of the saniwa. Given how much tea we drink around here, he thought we'd enjoy trying something a little out of the ordinary.
[ The liquid is mocha colored, only slightly thicker than a coffee or hot chocolate, but is clear. The smell is even stronger when held up to the face, rich but with slightest hints of something floral. ]
Your nose knows what it'll taste like. [ Just in case Mutsu has any doubts, but Uguisumaru feels confident enough. It does smell delicious! ]
no subject
It smells nice. Sweet. He likes it and so he gives it a try--
Watch his eyes go wide with surprise at first taste. Did he burn himself?? No. Ah... this might be one of the few teas he actually really enjoys. )
It's good...! ( He sounds just as surprised as he looks. ) What kind is it?
no subject
Apparently the makers of this tea infused the leaves with dark chocolate. It's certainly pleasant. [ Another taste and he'll set it back down, humming thoughtfully while still trying to decide if he really liked it. ] If you'd like, I can save the rest of it for you. It seems that you've enjoyed it.
no subject
( He's had tea with flowery and fruity tastes and even some that were a little creamy but none that were chocolate. This opens new possibilities here. )
Really? Ya're sure? I don't wanna take it all.
no subject
[ He shakes his head, holding a hand out in front and waving. ] Please, have it! I insist. Besides, it's a nice alternative to the snacks you and some of the other swords enjoy. [ Anything to increase the amount of tea drinking! ]
