Maa, maa. . .

I never thought that could happen, since it usually doesn't stay a blade unless I'm using it. Illusions are impressive.

As I said. You did well.

[Rests the icepack back against Yamamoto's head, and holds it there.]

It does not take much to disguise oneself as someone else, at Mukuro's level of ability.

[smiles up at him]

I guess a sword would be easy.

[Reaches out and picks up Shigure Kintoki, flipping it from bokken to blade and back again, before resting it on the bed.]

Easy enough. But is it the sword being fooled, or is it you? That is a question more difficult to answer.

[gawks. wao]

Ha ha, you think so? Hmm. . .

No way, Shigure Kintoki couldn't be tricked. I'm way more likely.

The shape of the wound on your stomach may tell a different story.

Be careful against illusionists. 'Reality' is a very subjective thing.

. . . [Puts his hand on his stomach :( and sips his orange juice]

Mmm. . . Dad would be mad.

It may also suggest that there is some piece of the puzzle you're yet missing.

Missing?

[thinks about it, sipping his juice, then looks at his bandaged hand where he caught the sword himself before it went in. his eyes widen]

Ah - I could have done it.

Indeed.

. . .Ha ha ha, oh wow. Dad would be really mad.

Did your talk with Tsuna help to settle your heart?

. . .Yeah. Tsuna's great like that.

Then the situation was far from valueless, however harrowing it may have been.

Ha ha. Sorry I slipped up even after you helped out, I'm pretty bad at pulling off a bluff after it's been spotted.

I would have been more worried if you had managed a flawless deception. Your opponent was Tsuna, after all.

He always sees through stuff like that. It's like his eyes look at you and just go shnnk, right in.

Right into your heart, yes.

I had little care either way, whether you chose to tell him everything or nothing at all. But this way, I think, is better.

Aa, I think so too. It'd be better if I didn't almost die to begin with, but Tsuna knowing shouldn't be a problem. We've stuck by each other through that plenty of times before. I guess I was just shaken up.

For future reference, would you have preferred to have been delivered to the hospital, or is here satisfactory?

Whichever's closer! Hospital would be better for stitches and all.

. . .Though with Byakuran around, we should stay close together. So here.

There will hopefully not be too many occasions in which you require stitches, October or not.

I did today before you gave me those glowing orb things.

The green orbs. The other types were for other things.

Ah! Yeah, I noticed - the others really gave me a boost.
