I was rather fond of my forties. It's when I went on that hot air balloon trip.

[ like vincenzo

but it's said with such a straight face, it's hard to tell if he's serious or not. ]

[unsaid]

[mikazuki has no reason to doubt this and will just nod]

Ah, that does sound like a rather fun trip...

Then I suppose I shall be alone in my nostalgia for this time. It is difficult to compete against a hot air balloon.

[preowned]

It is. It's a shame that we never went on one together, it really could have changed my opinion on this.

[ sip ]

[nodding along]



Though us boarding one together would have considerably raised our chances of becoming lost at sea.

[preowned]

[ he... thinks about it... ]

That sounds a little exciting...

[ a pause ]

But we may have gotten sunburnt.

[ please have other concerns about being lost at sea ]

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha, not a fan of being a bit red?

[a crane on the water...]

[preowned]

It would look good on me, I think.

But I'm more concerned about your sensitive complexion.

[ he's an old man? yes he's in his 20s right now but he's an old man? ]

[unsaid]

Mm, that is true... I would only endure further wrinkling.

[which is

so funny to say right now]

Ha ha ha. Perhaps I had best avoid extreme temperatures.

[imagine getting a mem regain here about NOT burning with the rest of the toyotomi treasures]

[ i hate you

but he will reach over to rest a hand against his face. ]

I agree. I'd probably be to one to tend to you.

[ jiji literally has people whose job it is do this ]

[unsaid]

[haha well

he stills for a moment, his gaze temporarily far away - which leaves him just a beat too late before he does turn his face into tsurumaru's palm. he lets his eyes shut to obscure his expression further as he hums softly]

... I do rather enjoy being taken care of.

[preowned]

[ ah.

tsurumaru blinks, not really sure what to make of that. so instead he just continues on with the topic. ]

Do you? I haven't noticed.

[ it's a little soft. ]

[unsaid]

[mikazuki thinks for 2 whole seconds about explaining himself

but then decides that he is not sure how to explain it, so he can leave it for another time]

I aim for subtlety in my needs.

[preowned]

[ he lets his hand stay there for an extra few seconds, before he goes to pull away. ]

Oh, yeah, I am definitely aware of that.

[ mikazuki will tell you immediately that he is sad about not having his tea but if you want to find out that he's sad about something more important you will have to fight him for that info. ]

[unsaid]

[yea!

a little bit like now, but he will just have a sip from his sake as tsuru reclaims his hand]

I would say that you bear witness to my whims more often than most.

[preowned]

I'd hope so.

[ a pause ]

Although not as often lately as I'd like.

[ tsuru may be here for the longest vacation he can manage but they do normally live apart. ]

[unsaid]

[ . . . well, that's true. mikazuki just laughs quietly to himself even as he goes to refill their cups.]

It is alright. Perhaps my inclinations grew more dull over time as well.

[it's not entirely true - he's still just as much of an enabler in his old age, but people are less fun to enable if they're not tsurumaru]

It is good that we have more time now. Perhaps it will revitalize some of our fun.

[preowned]

I hope so... I can't really date around now though.

[ tsuru dating people then running away

but it would be impossible to not see everyone as way too young now. hilarious. ]

[unsaid]

[oh

that's funny]

Ha ha ha - what great trouble lays ahead.

[it's just going to be even worse bc now people will chase tsuru nonstop bc even though he's 80 on the inside he's still just as beautiful as ever]

[preowned]

I'm sure you'll find suitors. You're young, beautiful, but most importantly... rich.

[ like

tsuru has money but he doesn't have a giant ass house in the city so he can hide it ]

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha, will I?

[jiji has never paid even 2% attention to any of the interest he gets]

Well, that too will surely come and go. I am already perfectly content with the company that I keep.

[preowned]

Who else do you spend time with?

[ tsuru is fully aware that mikazuki has other companions

but he requires all of the attention at all times while he is here. ]

[unsaid]

[ ? ]

Am I meant to answer with someone besides you?

[preowned]

I am actually curious now...

[unsaid]

Ha ha ha. My staff are very reliable. [hmmm who else] Kogitsunemaru still lives in the city, I believe. On occasion we will take tea together.

[otherwise it's a revolving door of visitors for mikazuki, or his family]

1/2

[preowned]

Oh! We should stop by to say hi to him.
