[yves looks so fancy and meanwhile, mizu, clad in wandering murderer chic. the whole outfit has clearly been washed and stitched back together way too many fucking times. some of the stains have never fully come out. awful.
ALSO YOU MAY RNG US... IT'S FINE. mizu's just gonna stare at him like, ok. what a normal introduction. weirdo.]
Mizu. [reciprocating absolutely none of that enthusiasm.] There are more of us than I expected.
[ sure why not. that's a very practical reason and he was rebuffed very soundly, so he wasn't press. unless it's time to get fancy one day. i'll come back for you quynn ]
Do you have a lot of attachment to your current set, then?
[if you're tutorial again i will come back to this exact tag to shake you :beegun:
also slaps a cw on this tag just in case, because. well. mizu looks at him for a moment, taking in his expression.]
I suppose you wouldn't see it. [a scoff. whatever that means.] There were four white men in all of Japan when I was born. Now, there are only three. Smugglers and flesh traders. One of them took my mother and made a monster out of me.
regardless, yves doesn't look surprised - he can't, when it's a transgression that people paid their lives for. but he does look upset on mizu's behalf, frowning deeply ]
... I'm sorry. I hope that you're able to find your mother as soon as you can.
Are you embarking on this journey all on your own?
[ ah. he's surprised now, and then the understanding comes in clearer. killing people in order to avenge her mother, and what was done to her ]
... I hope you succeed. [ softly ]
I hope you find peace, at the end of it all. And maybe a chance to sit with a friend when it's all over, and bask in what you're looking to get out of it.

Right? Though for a place where souls go after they die, it also feels like it doesn't enough...
[ a beat ]
Also I'm sorry if it's a bother - but did you want to come inside the clothing store with me?
no subject
looks at him]
Why?
no subject
Your clothes look well-used and looked after. I think your stitching is really impressive. I'm sure they're served you for a long time.
But you didn't want to get a spare to change into, while we have the amenities here?

no subject
It's practical and doesn't get in my way in a fight. I don't need to be attached to keep it.
no subject
Ahh, are you a warrior then? Very reasonable.
How'd you end up on the road so much?
no subject
There are three men that I'm sworn to kill. [immediately, zero shame? okay.] I must find them and see to it that they die by my hand.
no subject
but yves looks a little surprised, but more curious than anything. if nothing else, he's almost alarmingly non-judgmental ]
Whoa, and I guess they're all in different places...?
Is it okay if I ask what they did...?

She's dead.
[said very matter-of-factly.]
The path of revenge is one that I must walk alone. Getting others involved is... messy.
