[ why tho. what difference does it make if your company can stand with you, kashuu, it's not like you'd just spend the entire time whining about your hair and how sweaty you are or something. from yasusada's point of view, you don't need to be able to stand for that-- all you need are a working pair of ears, and sometimes it's even easier when your ears most emphatically don't work.

still, kashuu's weird as weird does it, and he's used to that. so yasusada's about to turn around and grab the first standing sword he sees and offer them as tribute when--

huh, nobody's standing. an hour ago, everyone was standing. weird.

okay, so maybe kashuu's point is finally sinking in... but that doesn't mean that yasusada won't go for a last-ditch and somewhat petty attempt to stay stubborn and on the training floor: ]

I'm sure Horikawa-kun can still stand. [ :T RIGHT HORIKAWA. a bit petulantly: ] Why do you need someone who can stand, anyway? If you're going to go take a break, then take someone who needs it.

[ because having trained non-stop for hours means yasusada somehow doesn't need it...... yeah................ ]
