...You're joking, right?

[ Sano? Not rough? Okay, he's not intentionally rough, but Heisuke's been headlocked, noogied, picked up by the scruff of his neck, and otherwise knocked around by the other man plenty of times before, so he's pretty sure it's just a case of not knowing his own strength.

Rubbing at his eyes and brushing mussed hair out of his face, Heisuke peers up at him, curiously. ]

So does this mean I actually get to do things with you guys now?

[ Continued from here. ]

He does? [ There is something about those words that makes him perk up, eyes bright. If Sano remembers, then... ] He better still have Hijicroca, then! And if he doesn't, then he'd better get me a new one.

[ But the question that follows makes him blink. Is he Shinsengumi? That's kind of a hard question to answer, and his expression falls, head lowering, eyes averted. ]

I used to be... but then I left, and it's not like you can just go back to something like that because everybody looks at you like you're some kinda traitor, y'know? I mean, it's not like it'd matter anymore anyway...

[ The last thing he remembers, he was bleeding out in Shinpachi's arms. ]

[ Continued from here. ]

[ The question is one he's actually kind of used to hearing, so it doesn't ruffle him as much as it might have otherwise. ]

Well, I could've asked if you were some kinda demon, but they usually just have horns and white hair, not creepy hands.

[ But the personal space, or lack thereof, is what's weirding him out a little more. ]

But um... can you maybe let go now? I said I won't do it again, and I mean it, honest!

[ Continued from here. ]

[ Well that's just confusing! Edgeworth, you may have to explain this one. ]

Why not?

[ Other than the fact that it's hella shady to begin with and who knows what mermaids are capable of. ]

I wanna know where it's coming from!

[ Continued from here. ]

[ She doesn't seem shady, so he's just going to grin and nod in acceptance of the aid. Then again, she could also be an ax murderer and as long as she doesn't come off as a bad person, he'd still be all smiles and happy acceptance. He's kind of dense like that... ]

Well, if there's two of us, maybe we can try and find the exit? I mean, I tried digging through the wall, but... I don't think it's going too well, y'know? It feels like it's taking forever! [ It's probably been only a few minutes, but that's an eternity.

That nervousness, though... Maybe it's because she doesn't know him? That's an easy enough fix! ]

I'm Heisuke.

[ And if she lets him, he's going to try to take her hand and dag her down a hall in hopes of finding a door. ]

[ Continued from here. ]

You mean we're stuck in here?! [ No, don't tell him that, Saitou. It's depressing!

At the same time, though, he has a point. Digging has been useless so far. ]

...I know I didn't wanna be here last time, but now that I don't really have anything else, it's gotta be something like this? I hate this place. At least all the other times, it wasn't some kinda sandy coffin.

[ Continued from here. ]

[ This is a really good question actually. He's from Edo and while lakes, rivers, and streams are things, splashing around in actual open water like this? It's not a thing he really does. ]

But--! [ Be reasonable, boy. That is a long, long way. ] ...probably not that long.

[ It's not that he's suicidal, he just doesn't always think before acting. ]

And it's kinda hard to touch the bottom on some spots...

[ Wait for it. ]

...Okay, maybe this was kind of a bad idea?

[ Continued from here. ]

[ CRINGING NOW THANKS. But it's true. If Souji were actively trying to kill him, he'd already be dead. There's no ifs, ands, or buts about that one. ]

I know where I'm at, and it's not like I'm gonna get to go home again anyway. I could die like three or four times here and yeah, it'll hurt like hell, but I'll just end up comin' back again.

[ Pouting now. ]

Besides, I'm not even Shinsengumi anymore, so why does it matter to you? [ In fact, he never made it out of Aburano Koji, unlike Sano, Shinpachi, and Chizuru. ]

[ Continued from here. ]

[ This is disturbingly familiar. Not the being caught and dragged back to shallow water, but the being in Shinpachi's arms after doing something stupid. Only this time, there's no pain and a lot less blood. ]

Huh, I must've mistaken you for a lumpy rock or something.

[ But the tone is playful, the words in jest. He's not going to dwell on it right now. There's plenty of time to figure out what happened later. It's not like he's going anywhere or has anything to go back to...

Instead, he's going to focus on something else. ]

You should put me up on your shoulders so we can go see where that noise is coming from!
