an indie chousokabe motochika.

photonari:

I do not recall forcing your compliance.  I broke no rule of boundary, if there is such a thing.  I, for one, am attempting to discover a way to leave this place; I had planned on sharing with you some of what I have learned.  Your business, which also pertains to this goal, would not otherwise be anything I would concern myself with.

All right, all right– I get it. Let’s quit yammerin’, then; I’ll amuse ya’ by apologizin’. Forgive my brash and brutish behavior, Mouri. The day we arrived here, we both agreed to work t'gether, to find a way out of this place and I haven’t gone back on my word since then. So what is it that you’ve learned?

photonari:

…Hmph.  Your memory needs some work, Chousokabe— I merely offered a suggestion, and you proceeded to turn against me for it.

A suggestion that wasn’t any of yer’ business to suggest. Maybe you should think about buddin’ into someone else’s business before openin’ that snooty mouth of yers.

photonari:

If you think I take pleasure in these pointless arguments, you are mistaken.  My even partaking in them is a direct result of your insolence.

Y'might be right, but if I recall, it was you who started this bickerin’ in the first place.

photonari:

Perhaps it would be in your best interest to find yourself a new hobby.  I am not a source of entertainment to be accessed anytime you are bored or unhappy.

I could very well say the same thing t'you. Or is it just a hobby yers? T'pester me until ya’ set off an already shortened fuse?

photonari:

Of course you would.  You have nothing better to do than to prattle about in my face.

I won’t deny that– considerin’ I’m havin’ no such lack findin’ the sea I’ve been searchin’ for. What better way t'make myself feel better than to pester the great Mouri Motonari?

junpakukaren:

“…so that’s what you’re doing… Perhaps… I could be of assistance?”

“Hm…?”

“–er, well.” To accept help from a brat was a difficult task. “Try not t'get in my way and m'sure we’ll be fine.”

muzukigokusatsu:

“I somehow think you’ll be surprised about that. At any rate, looking for answers without knowing the question is bound to lead you in circles, Chousokabe. Do you really have time for that?”

“From what’s been said, it at least feels like I have th'time to search for an explanation. How long have y'been here anyway?”

junpakukaren:

“Well, that’s… But can people really do something like that?”

“I ain’t too sure of it myself. It is mighty confusin’– which is why I’m attemptin’ to search for answers.”

dokuganryuu:

_{{ yet you always were one to continually stoke the fire, masamune. }}

“Eh, you expect anything different from me Saika?“ The dragon just snickers at the pirates avoidance of his snarky comments and jest to see the other get all bothered. He enjoyed bothering the other so much, the guy could put up a good fight when he wanted. But saika? Saika was her own bit of fun, a whole history of it.

”‘Course I’d see it as such– when it comes to treasure and my friends, there really isn’t any other way t'go about it.“

Although he possessed a short fuse and the Dragon was quick to ignite it, it didn’t dismiss the fact that he still cherished these two as friends, comrades, war buddies, and wouldn’t hesitate to share these moments with the two of them.

muzukigokusatsu:

“It means what it means. But yes, I finally managed to find him. I can only wonder what it is you happen to be searching for in this city.”

“Answers.”

“–for what, I ain’t too sure of that yet. They can’t keep a fish out of water for much longer.”
