[The thing is, it's not like Yasusada doesn't understand at all. Theoretically, he can understand what Baren's trying to say. With his human upbringing, he has a much better grasp of the complexity of relationships than he ever did in his last lifetime--but even then, it's not enough.

Yasusada is a simple person. He experiences his emotions as they come, and rarely does he try to fight them back or cover them up. He's open and honest, and those who earn his love and devotion tend to keep a permanent place in his rose-tinted memories. Even when it comes to things like betrayal or abandonment, no matter how shallow his experiences seem now, his feelings had been fairly straightforward. Regret, or resentment--and he'd never been quiet about either.

So in theory, he understands. But he doesn't truly get it; he never really has, no matter how hard he's tried. Baren isn't Kashuu, but they seem to have an understanding when it comes to these things, so... there's really only one thing he can say to that.]


Why?

[It's a perfectly fair answer, but it makes Yasusada sigh quietly anyway. He lets his head drop back against the couch, staring at the ceiling as he tries to gather his thoughts. Talking to Kashuu about his feelings towards their friend and former master would involve Kashuu openly acknowledging what he is, in a way he's pointedly tried not to do since the beginning. When they do talk, it's going to be a very long conversation... if Kashuu doesn't brush him off and bolt, anyway.]

...they talked to each other without telling me, for a while.

[When he finally speaks again, there's no pain or accusation in his voice, just a hint of soft nostalgia.]

Maybe they kept in touch while Kiyomitsu was gone, I don't know. But I know he came over to our apartment a few times. Soujirou-kun... I didn't even know he was still in the city until last year. Kiyomitsu never did mention it, even after I told him we'd met again.

[Even he's not sure why he's telling Baren all of this. Maybe just to put it out into the open--saying it to either Kashuu or Soujirou themselves would feel too much like an accusation, when it's not. Maybe it's an unspoken question--"what does it mean?"--though Baren certainly wouldn't have an answer to that. Yasusada might acknowledge that Baren knows a lot about a lot of things, but he's certainly not omnipotent. And Yasusada doesn't expect him to be.]
