Ohhhh, you know about my old man?! Well, that's natural I guess. He's famous after all!
[ he words come off proud but there's a tinge of melancholy in his voice because, after all, his master didn't die in the best way. it's tragic, really. however, shishiou honors and respects his master and no matter what he will never stop seeing him in the best light possible. ]
But hey, Mister. You never told me your name. [ and he eases the subject away from his old man, just like that, because there's no need to venture any further into the topic. besides, sousei shouldn't introduced himself ages ago, don't you think? ]
[He is famous indeed.... but Sousei can tell when someone doesn't want to talk about something easily enough, and so he'll let the topic shift carry on. He doesn't much care about manners, sorry, friend....]
My name is Abe no Sousei. [Yeah, that abe family....
He's aware enough by now to expect the swords to recognize it, alas.]
also sousei, looking even slightly amused? amazing. and on their first encounter too! shishiou's so lucky.
the response piques his interest, and when they say curiosity killed the cat, it thankfully shouldn't apply to a sword. ] Ohhh? You don't get along with them?
Hey, now. That makes you sound kinda lonely, y'know?
[ he could have very well be holding a second glass for a friend, or even a date! although judging by such a response, shishiou thinks it might be kinda hard for him to get a date...
things he will keep to himself. ]
There are plenty of reasons to be holding two glasses! And not just because you really like drinking.
[ he can't say much. sousei seems like a very serious person, and this basically solidifies his opinion about him. not that... basically everything that lead up to this moment didn't. shishiou liked being leader, but he wasn't one to do everything on his own so needless to say, it's a little... worrying? who knows. he barely knows the guy. ]
Well, I should head back to the party. You should come too.

[ he's not exactly sure what to think of this except: ] No way!
2/2 forgive me
no subject
Even so, he sees that face, and his own lips quick slightly in amusement. Very slightly.]
Do you think I am going to hold a grudge against you for old history? I am related to the Abe family only in name, truly, anyway.
[it's. complicated.]

[ tell me more, tell me more. ]

Of course, as soon as he asks that question, his expression is back to flat, unreadable stoicism. Ah...the Abes.]
...No, that is not correct either. Rather, I have very little connection to them.
[Despite having been born to that family.
Just roll with it.]
no subject
no fun! but he can see that he's not going to get anything out of him so he waves a hand. ]
Alright, alright. I won't ask anymore but you seem like a good guy so we can be friends, Sousei!
[ you're his friend now, congrats. ] If you ever get caught in by a tree with two drinks in hands, then I'll definitely come save you.
no subject
Calm down, tiny sword, he didn't say anything about friendship!!!]
... Neither of those things is necessary.
no subject
Oh? So if that happened would you be able to get out of it yourself?
no subject
[wow that's optimistic. Or just--]
Though I may have had to drop a glass in that case. I will never be carrying two, however, so it isn't a problem.

And another. And then, quite simply--]
I'm not lonely. But I am also not going to fetch drinks for other people. [who do you think he is!!!] My partner can get his own.

[ NOT A GENTLEMAN, THAT'S FERSHURE. ]

no subject
Why?
[He fails to see any reason to join the party again, and he's extra confused that this sword seems to think Sousei in particular should come along.]
no subject
[ this response is exactly why you won't be getting a puppy as a gift later. ]
You don't have to come if you don't want! Just be sure to be more alert, okay? [ actual tone of concern. ]
no subject
... Yes, of course. There's no need to worry over me.
[He's pretty clearly competent in these sorts of scenarios, okay.]
Rather than wasting time concerning yourself with me, go back to the party. [go...enjoy yourself or something!!!
...not that he cares, but. just. yeah!!]
no subject
Okay! In that case, see you later, Sousei.
[ because it won't be the last you hear from him. ]
no subject
bye, sword.
he's kind of hoping that's the last he hears of him, that was pretty overwhelming. swords are overwhelming.]
