[Peko just lift the arm up on one of the seats next to it and give both of you some more room, holy hell. He's not going anywhere and you both probably look ridiculous squished into one seat like this.]

How cou-- oh. [OH HEY THERE IS A GIANT SCREEN THERE? When did that get there he is only just now noticing that that sure is showing the castle. Look at how much attention he's been paying probably like the past twenty minutes now.] Wait, that was you? Shit, I thought...

[He assumed it was a slight against him by the audience because he is Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu and he tends to assume the worst and take everything as a personal attack. Even when it's not. And...back then he was particularly bad about that. He's gotten a little better now...sort of.]

I thought the audience was having some laughs at our expense with those. I'm kinda glad that's not actually the case. [It's so much nicer knowing that it's somebody who cares for you looking out for you? As opposed to the audience going OH POOR YOU, LOSING SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT. HERE HAVE A THING THAT WON'T ACTUALLY MAKE IT BETTER.]

Thanks, Peko. [No, really. Even if he never ended up using the damn thing, it was kind of nice to have his sword back. If nothing else, he at least felt more secure.]
