Do you think that maybe they could have been the same person? I'd hate to see another mess appear somewhere...

[ With a bunch of liquids again?? Naw, bro... hell naw. Yuri turns to where the bartender would be if they were here and thinks that she'd want to drink some barley tea.

And it appears in front of her. She almost seems surprised. ]

... Ah.

[baebladie]

They could've been. I'd be strange if their tomfoolery halted when it should've.

[ But next Blade is looking at her surprise as her nonalcoholic drink of choice appears. ]

...This the first time you've been to the bar?

[applebough]

I've been here before, but I didn't know it still functioned after closing time...

[ She takes a sip of her barley tea. Yum. ]

[baebladie]

There may be many surprises that await you should you endeavor to find them...or for them to find you.

[ Blade states dramatically as he sips his raspberry juice. ]

[applebough]

[ this is such a funny image help

Yuri looks at Blade, slowly blinks... she won't make fun of him but what was the point of that. ]

... Did you find anything like that here on the ship?

[baebladie]

[ So many points you can say they're unlimited (no) ]

A surprise? No.

Not unless you mean that there is an actual brig.

[applebough]

Oh.

[ Right, she heard that Blade was in space jail for like 8 hours. ]

I assume it wasn't too hard in there...?

[baebladie]

No. There was a toilet, sink, a cot with a standard blanket, and pillow but generally less glamorous than our rooms.

I wasn't chained to the wall or anything.

[ Unlike the fate that awaits sent to, let us say, the Xianzhou Alliance's Shackling Prison. ]

[applebough]

[ ... ]

Is that normal for you?

[ blade?????? ]

[baebladie]

No.

I'm not that unlucky.

[ He is nearly that unlucky, and he has gotten into trouble with the law copious times but he's good at not getting shackled up. Somehow. ]

[applebough]

Oh, that's... good.

[ Finally, something relieving to hear. ]

I'm glad that it's not the norm for you. It said that you were very good at getting away...?

[ blade is a smooth sharp criminal ]

[baebladie]

[ He doesn't understand why she'd worry about a stranger. ]

That's right. Those who get in my way end up cut down.

[ I see your puns there smhhh ]

I'm sure you understand.

[applebough]

[ i hope someone makes a pun icly and that can be our murder ]

... Yes.

[ Scary! She sips more of her barley tea. ]

Are there enough things for you to do here? I heard that the simulation room could also be used for combat training if you enjoy it.

[baebladie]

[ Exactly. Rip in Pun(ieces) to the very first moment a pun icly is cracked. ]

That's enough for me.

And as much as I'm hardly fond of these circumstances, the rooms aren't lacking.

[ Nobody will catch him paying such a compliment ever again, even about the infrastructure, though. ]

Ever visit the simulation room for such a reason?

[applebough]

[ Yuri nods when Blade says that the rooms aren't lacking. Despite only one bed per room and it being small, it's well furnished in her opinion. ]

Oh, um... I don't have a weapon.

[baebladie]

You have no combat ability without one?

[ Probably not unusual, he supposes. Blade hasn't exactly assumed people were able to fight necessarily, though he asks anyway. ]

[applebough]

Yes... for the most part. I use something like a sword.

[ Because it's probably not exactly a sword. I think? Squints at the art ]

[baebladie]

[ "Something like a sword?"

Is the sudden thought passing through which can be heard because it is thoughtshare-emotionshare week. ]

You can still use the simulation for practice, then.

Weapons are able to still be simulated, even if you don't have them with you.

[applebough]

Is that so...

[ That interests Yuri a bit. Maybe she can work on getting stronger here? She seems very curious about the idea. ]

Does that mean you tried it before?

[baebladie]

I have. You'll find it useful for keeping up with your capabilities.

[ He says this as he seriously says anything, honestly. ]

[applebough]

I would hope that I wouldn't have to fight anyone anymore...

[ But that's no reason for letting her reflexes get rusty, huh. ]

What do you use?

[baebladie]

You never know what is in your future. Letting your guard down would be dangerous.

[ Blade is simply saying what he thinks is prudent, that's it. ]

A blade.

[ He says this so seriously but can you just imagine the irony behind someone called Blade using a blade... ]

[applebough]

[ This is one of the nicer characters I have and you're gonna force my hand here lum ]

Is that why your name is Blade...?

[baebladie]

[ Just as keikaku. ]

...Yes.

[ Like yes and no but also mostly yes. It is complicated and simple at the same time. ]

I became a blade and embraced this new identity.

[applebough]

[ Well.

At least she doesn't laugh. In fact, she sounds concerned. ]

... You're a person though.

[ ........ ]

Right?
