[ yeah well. YOU'RE SHITTY.
And you're correct, he does. Takasugi is talking funny again, though. Now that he's here, it's just something else that Katsura will be stressed about. By the way Takasugi is talking, Zura can only assume the worst-- that he wants to bring some kind of destruction to his place too.
He'll never understand how heartless you can be. Even when he wanted the Shogun's head to fly at the festival, even he thought that was too much. Maybe it's just because it's an easier route-- it's easy to diminish people and things heartlessly.
It's difficult to salvage things instead. ]
There isn't an upper hand unless you make an enemy out of me here.
[ Sound like Takasugi wants to do just that, which is why he is stating what he said. ]
But I'm not your comrade, either. You won't find any help from me here.
[ He finally approaches Takasugi, only so he can go past him and around the corner of the cafe. ]
I've been polishing my teeth long enough here in this place. They're nearly sharp enough.
[ an interesting statement coming from somebody who proclaimed love and peace. ]

[.......well, yes, that is completely true.
It would be a lie to say that he hasn't been taking the "easy" road in life. If the only thing he was good at was being a monster, then why should he try to be anything else? Maybe that's the reason, too, that he continues to treat Zura this way even when he knows something now that he had never understood before--it's just easier. Even with what he knew now, it didn't change anything. He was still a monster, and he always would be. Being "comrades" truly was a thing of the past.
Maybe it's for the best.
Takasugi had faith in his abilities, however. Even if he was alone now, it wouldn't remain that way. He should be able to find some likeminded souls, and hopefully he would do it without ever having to be involved with Katsura. It was annoying, having to start all over, but it wouldn't be the first time he had to do something from scratch.
Still, he turns to watch him pass, his words earning him another laugh, less subtle than before (but probably no less creepy).]
If I needed help, I'd sooner seek out a wolf than a puppy.
[Not that he's calling bullshit on his threat, because even though things might be different now, he still knew Katsura well enough to know that he would probably follow through. But...]
Someone who's been living his life here just like he would back home has nothing he can offer me.

[Well, that's an interesting reaction from a grown man. Unexpected, but really cute, and it's hard not to laugh at it. He should have expected as much from somebody asking for something as sickeningly sweet as a kitten for a gift, really.
It seems to have gone over well, though, so Cynbel takes it as a sign his work is done and quietly leave. Enjoy your new cat and all the furniture destruction it comes with, Katsura.]

You don't know that. The way I live my life is nothing of your concern anymore.
[ Katsura says this as he makes his way back towards the door of his kissaten. Sure, it looked like the same ole life-- maybe even more simple with him settling in and having a job-- two jobs, actually. He liked to be busy.
But his life was much different here than it was back home. Even with as many friends as he had here, it seemed so empty.
He was going to do anything and everything he can to revive his land. ]
Enjoy your stay here.
[ opens the door and shuts it before he can even respond. ]

[ Katsura perks up when he hears something like laughter and looks around, holding this precious little kitten closer to his body protectively.
He looks in the general direction of the laughter. ]
There is nothing to see here-- just father and daughter. State your business.

[Uh oh. He hadn't meant to get caught, and letting himself be known would ruin the point of it being "secret" Santa, right? Before he can think too hard about it, he makes a decision, and he uses the voice of what sounds like a little girl to answer.]
You're the father of a cat, Mister?

[Outside Katsura's door this evening is a small maneki-neko. Underneath the cat is a handwritten card. It reads:
"Congratulations on the new business. A little extra good fortune couldn't hurt.
Happy New Year."
The card is unsigned and surprisingly non-threatening. The handwriting might look familiar, though...]

[ what is this? Some left over Christmas present? He rattles the poor thing ( but doesn't break it, thought I should mention that ) and turns it over to read the bottom of the card.
Oh. A New Years gift? It's New Years already? Interesting... though..
Something about this present unnerves him, and he quickly goes to maybe find a solution. ]

Hey, dad. I have an important question.
Have you gotten sick of how cold it is here?

It's not dad, it's Katsura.
It's the New Year. It wouldn't be the same if it were not cold.
I am tired of wearing fleece underwear though. I'm accustomed to my fundoshi and I miss it.
Protect the vital parts of your body is what my teacher would say. My asscheeks are very vital.

[ Why. She just asked if he's done with winter. ]
I'm meeting Ryuko at the waterpark this Friday. I was wondering if you wanted to come.
The more the merrier, after all.
I'm sure it will be like summer there.

She's going for sure :)
I don't think she has one yet. I'm going shopping soon, too.

It's not dumbass, it's Katsura.
I am here with Larry-chan, but she is taking a nap. It is cute.
Please look.

I took in a friend of mine who is basically a sheepdog with a concussion. I took him in out of pity. He signed paperwork.
[ they aren't really married but you know he craves the domestic life. ]
He is useless, though, so I might divorce him.
[ He'd never kick Sakamoto out. ... Maybe. ]

[ look Sakamoto banks but he isn't holding Zura tight every night and telling him how beautiful he is. ]
I will let you know and I will let Sakamoto understand that I have a gang on my side.
Thank you for checking in with me.
[ is this really all the conversation was about. ]
