[Whatever locks the Geardorm has on its main doors have now been very securely locked. And then re-locked, just to be sure.

A cranky tiny is scrutinizing them as if he's seriously considering adding more.]

[. . . small laugh]

[Laughter? Was that really laughter?]

A good memory?

Mmm, I gave Sano advice during a fight of his.

What kind of advice?

Ah, that even in kenjutsu, the two-sword style isn't necessarily better than single sword techniques.

And that even though he is kind of dense, he would find a way to win.

It's good advice.

Did he?

I don't know, the memory is only of that moment. Though I was confident he would; Yumi-dono scolded me for assisting him, but it wasn't as though I was jumping into the match itself. I used my mouth, not my hands.

[seems pleased, and a tiiiny bit smug]

Ahh~ Poofy's that kind of person!

Definitely a good memory.

Do you want to stop there?

That kind of person . . . ?

Mm, it was good. [glances down at the memories . . . picks another] Perhaps one more.

Sometimes, when people are stuck, they need a hand up. But sometimes, even when it looks like help would be good . . . all they really need is a push forward, and they'll get there on their own.

The best friends . . . I think they're the ones that do both.

. . . mmm, I think . . . that is what Sano needed. [small, but honest smile] I do not know if we are best friends, but . . . mm, he is someone important to me.

Tell me about him? After this one.

I do not know much about him, but alright.

[eats this one]

[. . . ohhhh, it's a long one]

A name is a good start.

[Watches, fingers light over his wrist as she listens to his pulse.]

[his pulse is pretty steady, only speeding up here or there and not for very long.

B-Blinks, blinks a few times before he shakes his head a bit]

Years.

[Lets out a slow breath she hadn't realized she was holding, and nods.]

It's . . . strange, isn't it? When it's so much at once.

[nods slowly, takes a slow breath]

Mmm . . . it's very strange. I think . . . it was ten years worth.

Like the time here suddenly seems so much smaller.

[Curls her fingers around his hand.]

Which ten?

[squeezes her hand gently] Yes, just like that.

Ah . . . when I became a wanderer, after the war.

Did you travel far?

All over Japan.

You must have seen so much.

And then you met Kaoru-san?

Mmm . . . though I do not think I traveled much further south of Kyoto.

[faint nod, tiiiiny smile] Mmm. The memory ends when I arrived in Tokyo.

Is Sano-san from after that memory too?
