[ don't worry it doesn't make sense to anyone but gerard and even then, debatable. ]
Ah, yes-- I've been teaching myself swordsmanship lately. An ongoing project-- I made a promise to someone I would improve, and I found a few texts to guide me. Those are a few of my "mastered" forms, if you will.
buzen's general Vibes are pleased but when he catches sight of gerard there's more or less just a burst of warmth - like he's happy to see him regardless of context.
buzen can rock the butler uniform its probably a good look. i hope he has some good emotional revelations after finding himself. gerard isn't too far, he isn't quite sure where to go or what to do yet, so. vibing.
for self-indulgent funsies, there's an odd sense sometimes that he's not ... quite as froggish as he was. maybe something about his frame is a little smaller, or his eyes are less protruding. his legs bend at a human angle. could just be a trick of the light though. ]
After dying twice? I've been better. But also worse?
[it takes buzen a long, long while to put himself back together and even hours later, he's not sure he's fully recovered. but he feels like he's regained his mind... enough. just enough for him to do something important.
so he goes to approach gerard, wherever he is - though he also notably does not have his sword at his side or any gloves on his hands. he's dressed down, as comfortably civilian as possible.
(all things that could be used to hurt someone are gone as if that'd stop buzen from trying to crush someone with his bare fists but it's the thought that counts maybe)]
... Ge-san.
Are you - healed? All the way?
[so awkward for buzen to stand there being offered heals but knowing he didn't need them but also not encouraging gerard to get any because he thought he still had to kill a dude]
[ gerard is just watching the screens outside at some point, searching through them and apparently not finding what he’s looking for, but he’ll look over once Buzen speaks to him.
he does take a brief once over to look for his sword, sorry about it. anyway, his chest isn’t actively bleeding anymore and doesn’t seem like it’s about to kill him, though he’s moving a little stiffly which might suggest that he is not actually healed all the way. but he also didn’t ask. ]
[ where are we. void. the local eggslut. idk either way gerard is just coming to find buzen after The Thing. he still has his sign that says fuck on it!! ]
What do you think? Optimistic? Certain doom? Something in between?
[ yeah he will just be having like. leftover mcflurry from the wolf-cake. ]
Okay, I suppose. I mean. We did see Ruby die earlier, and then tomorrow we will have to say goodbye, and that is not a great feeling. I-- Honestly didn't think we'd make it this far.
WEEKEND ZERO - SATURDAY
[ he is just blatantly looking at the profiles, comparing them to the people he's seeing around, but this one seems particularly pleasing. ]
Another enthusiast of the art of swordplay!
THIS SHITPOSTKLSDHF
Prince-san! Are you familiar with the blade too? Ah, I didn't really understand your profile - but it probably just flew over my head, haha.
