[He seems pleased with an answer like that as he brings them out of the shop, pushing the door open with the side of his arm so as not to drop the ice cream he's ordered. On the other hand, once they get out is when he finally tries it, following Yamato's example in making sure that none goes to waste by melting over the sides.]
It's good too! In that case, I'm glad we came, huh?
[Honestly though, Yamato is a Brave One living on the edge like that. Biting into ice cream is something for only the strong to do.]
I'm sure you'll get used to this place Yasusada-kun, so until we go home, hopefully it won't be too difficult to you.
[He's very careful to note until they go home though, knowing of Yamato's determination in that respect.]

[He's very careful to note until they go home though, knowing of Yamato's determination in that respect.]
I'm surprised you haven't been to this place before, I'm sure you had some free time. [ As Yamato is able to eat anything, he does continue to bite at the ice cream as he looks towards Horikawa with a few sets of blinks. ]
Hm? Don't say such a thing, if I get used to it, I'll be able to adjust. I'm not too fond of that but I never really got used to anything.
[ Well, anything in the future. As much as he's stayed in the past, it's really hard for him to move on. With another bite of his ice cream and licking his lips afterwards. ]
This is really good, I like it! [ He's already finished with the first scoop. Ugh. ] I wonder about the other flavors.

[Just taking a moment to look over him carefully. Any injuries from Hijikata?? Please don't assume Hajime will be able to reforge you, Yams, he has no skill in that at all.]
Aah, you think so? Thanks.
[Does he look nice? That's good to hear, especially with how strange he still feels he looks, thanks to the aura and other assorted shade nonsense. But he just tilts his head toward the teashop, meaning to weave his way through the crowd to get to the counter.]
C'mon, let's get something to drink, then I want to talk to you. Okay?

and you just believe them?
i wouldn't believe in them so easily, yamatonokami-san
but if it's really true
would only followers get sent home?

Eh? Well, I didn't really have a reason to before. It seemed nice, but there were always important things to do... [And, you know, treating himself is a totally foreign concept. Though all things considered, he's glad that the chance did wind up appearing. It's nice to have this kind of pleasant time out with someone.] Should we try different kinds next time? I've heard they have a lot, so maybe we can try them all eventually.
[You know, if they're making a habit of it anyway!]
Though, speaking of getting used to things, even if you say that you seem to be walking pretty well by now, Yasusada-kun.
[You know, if they're making a habit of it anyway!]

I do believe so, if that's better than thinking.
[ He's not going to let the shade things get in between them. Following after the other as they move towards the tea shop. ]
Hm, what type of tea do you like? The stronger ones?
[ Though with conversation in passing, he gives a nod. ] You can speak to me about anything.

I'm not really all that picky. I mean, I don't really have a preference between black and green tea, so I guess...
[Just orders whichever is cheapest and looks expectantly at Yamato to make his selection. Hinatawa will pay for it, of course.
He'll wait until they've got their drinks and picks a table near the back of the shop, relatively quiet and undisturbed for a teashop.]
Well... I wanted to talk to you about what happened earlier. With you and Hijikata. Can you tell me about it...?

[Well, technically speaking... Yamato is like, younger than him. So this would technically count, right? Right.
He's going to look for Yamato in the house. WHERE ARE YOU!?]
Yamatonokami-san?
[One (1) werewolf is looking for you. ]

[ To find Yamato would practically mean going into his room and opening the window on the ceiling to locate the harpy. He's pretty fond of high places as he watches the sky above him. It looks nice, how the clouds pass by and the birds seem to have a joyous time in a flock together.
A twitch of his pointed ears as he hears his name just a little bit away, he turns his head towards the half opened glass window to speak just a little loudly. ]
I'm on the roof!
[ Not so sure if Yamanbagiri can hear him. ]

I'm on the roof!
[ Not so sure if Yamanbagiri can hear him. ]
[Fortunately, Yamanbagiri can hear Yamato with his sensitive hearing. Just good enough to make out Yamato's words. The roof, huh? He made his way over towards Yamato's room and stop in front of the door. He raise a paw up and knocks.]
I'm here! I'm coming in.
[Mostly said to announce his presence. After a moment, he turns the door knob carefully and enters the room. His eyes glance upward to see the partly opened glass window. Time to climb up to the roof, he guess.
He briefly hold the envelop with his teeth and starts to climb out of the glass window. One of his paws push the window open wider and his head pops out, seeing Yamato in front of him. He would say something, but well, envelop in his mouth. One moment as he pulls himself up and out onto the rooftop. Once he's out and safely sitting in one spot, he removes the envelop from his mouth and glance at it.
... He hopes he didn't accidentally drool on it.
Yamanbagiri looks back at Yamato, and try to look as composed as possible.]
Hello, Yamatonokami-san.
[Don't mind the envelop in his hands. Paws. What he's holding.]

Hello, Yamatonokami-san.
[Don't mind the envelop in his hands. Paws. What he's holding.]
Hm? Good evening, how are you fairing?
[ There's a smile on his features as he finds that Yamanbagiri is finally beside him with something that he doesn't find useful in his hands. Humming lightly, he looks towards the other's furred paws before looking the fellow uchigatana in his eyes. At a moment like this, he feels fine and has no care in the world as he now finds his eyes raising to look at the sky.
He doesn't have anything else to say other than wait for the other to reply but with one more look towards the other's furred paws, he can see that the envelop he's brought is covered in a lot of drool. It's wet but he can't make out what's inside. ]
Ah..? Did someone send you mail? Is it from that person you spoke of a long time ago, the one you bought a gift for?

I've been doing fine.
[More or less. Well, beside that time at the Advent party when he kind of... blows up at Tonbokiri. And things get awkward for him to be around Tonbokiri.
He shakes his head, glancing down at the envelop (ah, he drooled that much? It's rather embarrassing--) and then back at Yamato again.]
No, it's not from her or it's mail for myself. [Because why would anyone send him mail?] ... It's for you, Yamatonokami-san. From me.

[ Grabbing for the piece of mail that's given to him, he takes notice to how slob covered the envelope is. Naturally, since Yamato is a sword who's oblivious to most, he wipes the envelope onto Yamanbagiri's cloak, trying to wipe away the slob with a smile on his face. ]
For me? Ah, you shouldn't have had to do that. How kind of you, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro.
[ Looking at it for a few minutes, he then places the wet article back into Yamanbagiri's hands. ] This is for you then. From you to me, from me to you. How nice.

[ Looking at it for a few minutes, he then places the wet article back into Yamanbagiri's hands. ] This is for you then. From you to me, from me to you. How nice.
[He's anxiously watching Yamato's reaction, though he seemed a little alarmed by how much slob there were on the envelop. He should've clean it up, wipe it against himself or--
Or... watch Yamato wipe it on his own, dirty cloak?]
What are you doing?!
[Somehow, this seems to bother him. He doesn't mind being dirtied, but it's usually by his own choice or he expected it. Just nothing like this. He tugs his cloak away from Yamato's reach, feeling like his personal space got intruded on.
And... blinks at the envelop that's now back in his hands? Paws. Claws.]
... You're giving it back to me?
[Yamanbagiri Kunihiro doesn't know how to feel about this.]

Mhm. Why wouldn't I? It's what friends do, isn't it? Besides, has anyone given you anything?
[ Other than a bad time? Yamato doesn't want him to grow stressed or anything, he doesn't him to feel under appreciated because as a comrade of everyone else here, he's sure that Yamanbagiri is important. ]
I want you to have something as well, that's not bad, is it? You're my comrade and if you are able to give me anything, I know in the end that I can give it back and you'll accept it.
[ A small hum and whistle that sounds like a chirp more than anything as he rests his head against his knees that's huddled up against his chest. ] Alright?

You seem to like that one a lot huh, Yasu-kun?
[With an amused smile playing upon his lips, Horikawa glances at the rapidly disappearing ice cream that the other had ordered. They've gone through quite the number of flavours at this place so far, but it seems like they have new ones from time to time, and this is one of them. Luckily, it looks like a positive review! Horikawa's expression brightens, and he takes a moment to scoop a small spoonful from his own order. (Plain vanilla, like always.)]
I guess we were lucky to come before it got all sold out.

I guess we were lucky to come before it got all sold out.
[ It can be seen how much he's fond of this flavor, the fact that some of it rests at the corner of his mouth and how he has to lick away some from his claws because he's made a bit of a mess. It's not as troublesome to use his arms anymore, he's use to the wings that rest upon them and makes sure not to get anything on them. Biting down on the cold substance that can make his teeth tingle just a bit, he looks up to Horikawa with a grin of his own. ]
I like it a lot! Though I think you should have gotten some as well, it is going rather fast since everyone seems to want this kind. How about changing it up a bit?
[ Not like he's expecting Horikawa to do so, but maybe he'd like something different. ] There has to be something else than vanilla, I'll even share what I have with you? I'm sure you'd like it, what do you say?

[There's something of a fond look at the enthusiasm Yamato offers up, and Horikawa returns a grin for it, raising a hand to wipe a way a bit of the ice cream on the side of the other's mouth with his thumb. He raises it up to his lips after, licking it off, and gives a glance back to his side once he has.]
Hmm, it is pretty good! I'm glad you're enjoying it, in any case. [He raises his own to indicate it though, looking a little sheepish as he does.] I don't mind this though. Since we've already gotten it, it would be a waste not to eat it, right? Maybe next time.
[So no need to sweat! Horikawa tends to like this sort of thing anyway, so he doesn't mind it; he can probably be convinced to try something new next time, at least. He's expecting some more attempts at convincing right now if he doesn't change the topic though, and gives a bit of a hum.]
Have you heard? Today seems to be pretty important for humans, huh?

[ With the cream taking from the side of his lips, he doesn't think it'd be that troublesome to get rid of what Horikawa has. So what Yamato does is grab at the male's hand that's holding his own ice cream and slowly take it from him so that he's holding both of what they have. Biting down at the plain vanilla that he's stolden, he hums happily to himself at the taste. Maybe this is going to be a bit messy, but dumping his own ice cream into Horikawa bowl and mixing the contents together. They're going to have some nice flavor in the end. ]
Now both of us can enjoy it. I just need a spoon too and in the end, nothing will go to waste.
[ Isn't that such a good idea? Yamato is looking out for him too but at his question, he raises a brow and then nods after he's thought about it. ] Vulgartide Day or something like that, it's a day where they go out and have fun? I tried to read Nanami Chiaki's network post at one point but I had gotten a little busy, did you find out more things about it?

[Eyeing Yamato's actions curiously, Horikawa doesn't move to stop Yamato from stealing the ice cream from him. He winds up being a little confused as to whether that was the right decision or not after seeing Yamato's solution, but it is very.... Yamato, isn't it? The smile in his face looks more than a little sheepish, though he does steal the spoon back for a moment to take a taste, seeming to approve of it after all.]
I guess that's one way to fix things ー but I think it was "Valentine's Day", Yasukun. [NOT THAT HE KNOWS MUCH BEYOND THAT... Something about gifts for the people you like? Yeah, that sounds right.] Mm, not much though. It seems like it's an imported holiday, people give chocolate to the ones that they like?

It sounds nice, doesn't it? I wonder how it goes for people who like everyone, how much chocolate they have to make. [ As he holds up the bowl in his claws, for the moment he can be the table that holds the object. When Horikawa finally has a taste of it, Yamato feels at ease and is happy that it had been satisfying. He wouldn't know how to recover if the two sweets didn't mix but luckily for him, it all works out. ]
It must be a holiday within this day and age since we've never heard of it until now, it's also upsetting at the same time. How nice it could have been for the entire citadel back home to relish in this sort of holiday. [ Lowering the bowl just a bit as he looks inside, he gives a sigh of content. ]
At least we have a chance at it, to learn and act on what's to come. So I'm glad that I get to spend time with you during these holidays. I hope that'll always be alright with you? [ ... ] ... Kunihiro.
[ There's a pause as he looks up from the desert and smiles to him. ] If that'll be.. [ He's only making sure. He's not afraid but as he searched for confirmation. ] okay?

It seems like a lot of work. It's nice though... [He pauses for a moment to think over the comment on the citadel, but overall, he can't manage up anything but a slightly regretful smile in return. It would be nice, it's true, but it's also difficult - for now, he's just as happy to learn of it with just the small household they have here, along with their masters. Even so, he means the next words:] It may not be back home, but maybe next time, we can try? Mikleo-kun is a good cook anyway, it seemed like he was preparing chocolates anyway.
[Not that he'd mind trying to learn today, but anyway!! His eyes widen slightly at the use of Kunihiro of all names; he can only remember ever being called that by Kanesan, and that was only natural ー they're a matched set after all, but Horikawa doesn't make any mention to stop it. He takes an instant to look at Yamato with an expression that doubtlessly conveys his surprise, but ultimately, he nods.]
It will be. [A reassuring grin.] Let's spend a lot more together alright, Yasukun?

[ With his claws placed together and twiddling his thumbs in a sense under the bowl, maybe he's just a slight bit worried over the name he's used. Of course, everyone within the citadel speak to Yamato with such familiarity and even now, he doesn't move from out their full because he finds that to be polite. So as Horikawa begins to speak about the chocolate that Mikleo has been making for them, he's yet to look up since the bowl of ice cream has part of his attention but with confirmation ー there's a smile stretched upon his lips.
Not trying to show any worry or even any concern that he had been bracing him for the "are you stupid" or "no way" ー ( when you live and have kashuu as your partner, one does ready themselves for a firm and quick "no" ) ー he's glad to hear the response. ]
Of course, yes, he probably is and well accustomed to this holiday more than us so it's understandable. [ It sounds nice but what he's more happy about are the other words as he looks up at him. ] Yes, that sounds nice, really, it does. But.. you should take another bite of this or there won't be anything else left.
[ Since Yamato is thinking about digging into it. ]
