yeah but you're an asshole, I'm not gonna do that
anyway where did you find this video in the first place bc I sure haven't seen it, are you going to hook me up or what? I was pretty drunk at the time.

[he can't deny that he's an asshole and might have extra experience ignoring zoro
but he'll also be sending a link over to where he found the vid circulating on gay twitter. baren doesn't even have a twitter. how did he come across it?? still kind of a mystery.]

baren you know that's cruel to the rest of the bar, he's like hitting on a goddamn wall
but sure, sounds like fun to me. I'll keep my hands to myself if you don't buy me drinks, no promises if you do.

it was outside work hours! I don't think he even picked up on it so it's not like he's gonna complain or anything
and fine, but you better not take advantage of that or they'll end up not letting me leave

Hey—! Seriously, don't drop it! It'll hurt.
[GOD, BAREN. Still probably not as much as getting punched, but he doesn't want to experience Fresh New Voodoo Pains, either...
ALSO THAT'S RUDE but totally true. Fortunately it doesn't take a lot of prying to get Kashuu to talk about this, considering nothing about it is too personal. Yet.]
Anyway, I seriously don't know what's going on. I went to a doctor who's on the network and everything and he had nooo idea. He said it might be some kinda soul transfer-y thing or whatever? Someone else said I might be some weird genie? [HE'S EXHAUSTED.] No one knows, though.

I think you'd absolutely fucking do that, is what.
whatever, between the two of us we can probably get someone else to pay if we have to

Soul transfer...
[Baren wracks his brain for memories, for weirdo myths that could apply here. He's got a couple of ideas, but none that he's willing to say out loud. Maybe a visit to the library or actually pretending to attend a class will be enough to convince him that he can share with Kashuu. As is, it's not enough to break his weird image of not being studious for the sake of tossing out theories.]
But you feel whatever this thing feels, right? And it's a full on sword? Doesn't feel fake...
[He's actually gonna check, just because he's kept it in the sheath so far?? So sorry Kashuu, he'll go ahead and unsheath the sword out of curiosity.]

[Why is Baren like this, the eternal question with no answer.
Either way, since Kashuu still hasn't looked into it himself (mostly because he's half-convinced that if he ignores it it'll just stop being a thing?! LET HIM LIVE), he doesn't give it any particular mind in this case either.]
Yeah, it's a sword. It's— [Definitely real, is what he's going to say, but then BAREN RUDELY UNSHEATHES IT.
Well, it's definitely a real sword. Very well-made, even! Kashuu's watching with some amount of wariness, though it's mostly because this feels oddly uncomfortable and not because he actually expects Baren to drop it.]
—It's real, yeah. And I've just kinda been describing it as like, an extra arm or something? ...Look, I know it's weird.

[Baren's openly curious in this sense - turning the sword over in his hand and getting used to the weight of it. The hand holding the sheath lets it rest on his shoulder, a movement that's unconscious and distantly familiar. Even though he'd studied kendo when he was in Japan, he can't remember ever laying hands on an actual sword.
Until now.]
Some of these have inscriptions, right? To tell you who made it, who owned it.... Did you do research or did you literally closet the situation.
[can you believe kashuu has to come out as a sword]
Maybe you were cursed by a witch to have some part of your soul locked away in this one and we need to figure out how to break the spell so you can be a real boy.

I'm seriously gonna punch you one of these days.
[And it'll be a bad time because his physical strength is slowly but surely increasing in a very unnatural way...]
I looked some stuff up with Aki earlier, but that's it... I don't even know where an inscription would be.
[He also doesn't mention that the sword he found when looking things up with Aki was called Kiyomitsu...]

You wouldn't - you respect beauty too much.
[is there a limit to vanity
anyway
baren tilts his head, because he's sort of used to kashuu skirting around things. there's enough vagueness in that statement that he doesn't see an issue in pressing more directly just to see if he'll get a bite]
What'd you find with Aki?
