[It is truly a quiet moment outside of time, outside of battles and responsibilities. Distantly, Kogitsunemaru can hear the sounds of someone talking, the chirping of birds and dull, far-away footsteps. However, none of it seems to be able to enter the bubble the kitchen had become, the silent haven in this instant.
And it feels good to be able to do this and in that instant, Kogitsunemaru adds another trickle to the steady stream of gratitude to feels whenever he thinks about Saniwa. It was their master who gave them this form and allowed Kogitsunemaru to interact with Mikazuki like this.
To laugh, to joke. To touch him and feel the warmth of his hands.
Does Mikazuki seem reluctant to let go of his hands or is he just imagining it? When Kogitsunemaru replies to Mikazuki, it's in a slow, measured but pleased tone.
Somehow, being complimented by Mikazuki makes his feel lighter.]
You make teaching very easy since you catch on quickly. [For an old man.] Plus, little old me is full of surprises.
[There is some hesitation before Kogitsunemaru twines their fingers together and turns their palms up, showing Mikazuki the finished onigiri. It's still crooked and there are some dents in the back but it's not falling apart. It's as solid and real as either of them and that's what makes Kogitsunemaru smile.
Very slowly, he pulls his hands away from Mikazuki and takes a small step to the side, glancing at the other sword as he does. Mikazuki looks so relaxed and the corners of his mouth are still quirked up a little and he seems so pleased with the moment that Kogitsunemaru quickly lets his gaze dart towards the riceball again.]

Looks good to me.
