I'm aware that you don't appreciate being bothered, but I'm out of patience. Just tell me if the two of you are alright. I swear I will leave it at that, against my better judgement.
Have both of you fools gotten yourselves injured? I thought I could trust one of you to keep the other in check, but I suppose not. When you return, I'm going to be severe with you both. I won't allow you to leave again without me. I'm not going to accept any complaints.
Goro Akechi. You aren't my master, and we hold little in common. But it remains that I am invested in your continued safety. If you have not disappeared, and you still reside in this world, then tell me. I vow to do whatever it takes to reach you. I know you have pride enough to rival a tengu, so consider me an extension of Ren's arm. Consider me a part of your own skill set, if necessary. With or without Ren to command me, I will come if you call. That's all.
Now that our returns are apparent, I want one thing clear.
Don't offer your strings so quickly to another. One day we may very well be gone. You won't be so fortunate to always have someone like Ren waiting to pick them back up.
Excuse me? Don't lecture me on things you can't understand. I am not like you. It goes against my very nature to be here. If it weren't for those "strings" then I would be purely a youkai, and my only drive would be bloodlust.
A concern, huh... You say that, but there truly is no alternative. Either I am a shinshi or I am a wild fox. It is a choice between devotion or violence.
Your world isn't so simple. Mine is. Anyway, regardless of my situation here, I wouldn't make that offer to you if I didn't respect you enough to consider you worth loyalty.

Ren won't answer me.
Is something going on over there?

If you don't want me to pester you, then answer me now. Anything at all.

I recall our dream together. That doesn't make it less of a concern.

The world doesn't exist in such simple dichotomies.
If you wish to have an arrangement with me, then fine. But don't do it at the cost of yourself.

[If Ren were to disappear permanently, it's what Akechi would owe him.]
