Day 367 - video
[He doesn't come from a world with a lot of modern technology but he's sure visited enough to get used to it. That's why when trying to figure out the communication device, Kurogane figures it out fairly quickly.]

Another new world, huh? [Have one unsurprised new inmate, MarinaNova.] Never thought there'd be one that seems to only be a prison.

Oi, listen up. I'm looking for a couple of people. One goes by the name of Fai - tall, blond, probably has an idiotic grin on his face. Another is the kid who calls himself Syaoran - brown hair, serious but helpful. Then there's Mokona - a weird creature who looks like a meatbun with rabbit ears and talks.

[Kurogane doesn't ask about Sakura, he knows where she is... well, one of her anyway.]

I also wouldn't complain if anyone had any information about this world that they were willing to share.

[Real, huh? For Fai it hasn't sunk in yet, that his wish for someone to come and take him away has come true. He doesn't regret meeting Kurogane and the children, not when the time he has spent with them was something he cherished. But it feels selfish and wrong for the other man to sacrifice so much for him, when he has nothing to offer, nothing to make up for all that.

He wonders if that will change, if something between them will change, but he can't ask. He shouldn't.]

Good. That sounds good.

[Better than anything he might have feared. There is hope yet, otherwise Kurogane wouldn't put it like that.]

You ... didn't return to Nihon?

[It was Kurogane's wish to return home, as soon as possible, so it's a valid question. If Sakura-chan is not with them anymore that means their original journey has come to an end, but Kurogane didn't leave. Fai doesn't have a home to return to, there is nowhere left for him to go except on, but for the ninja it's different.]

I have for a long time ... [It's nothing more than a whisper, barely audible if at all. Fai isn't sure why he says it, but he does. Maybe it's the physical distance between them that makes it so much easier to talk, maybe it's this place, maybe he's just confused, but whatever it is, it makes him more honest than he's been in a long time.]

[Things have changed so much since he first left Nihon. All he could think about was getting back. Then when he did get back, Kurogane felt as though he couldn't stay. Not yet. Even after Fei Wang Reed was dead, Kurogane couldn't go home.

And maybe... he'd grown fond of his traveling companions. Maybe he really did think of them as a family. That was something he hadn't had in a long time.]

Yeah, things are better. [Not great but better.] We'll find them.

[Ah yeah, that.]

I have things to do, people to find. Can't go back with all of that left unsettled.

[He doesn't sound upset by that. Not like he would have at the start of their journey when going home was all that he wanted. The people Kurogane had been traveling with had become important to him. They were people he cared about and he couldn't abandon people he cared about.]

Give it more time. [Then Fai will know him about as well and Kuro knows Fai. He'll be able to translate his words and actions to other people, can figure out when his left arm is bothering him even though he doesn't show it. Though Fai could already figure some things out such as the time he got hurt and hid it from the children after the race.]

I know we will, Kuro-daddy. [The smile he wears as he nods is genuine. He doesn't know any of the specifics, doesn't know what happened since he isn't a dreamseer. But he has faith and he knows that neither of them will give up, not until everyone is safe and happy.

A lot has changed, Fai notices as much. The fact that Kurogane has grown like this, has seemingly lost even more of his edges, fills Fai with a weird kind of pride, one that he pushes to the back of his mind. It's not like it's his achievement. No, it isn't.

He shakes his head, as if to tell Kurogane not to worry about him. If they have anything here it will be time, it seems. Time and so much too talk about but ... He is so kind. Why is he so kind? And why does it hurt so much?

But he (of course) hides those feelings behind a teasing grin, one of his annoying fake whistles accompanying it.] Hyuu~ Looks like you are getting old, Kuro-pai. [By which he means that he arrived at the kiosk.] I think I'll go ahead and ask some questions, while I wait. Anything you want me to ask them?

[They've both grown fond of the kids - all of them - despite their efforts to not get close. No matter that they might have started off this journey as people thrown together, they've become family at this point. Even Kurogane doesn't try to dispute the nickname of being "daddy" any longer. And family doesn't give up on family.

But Fai is part of the reason he's changed. It may not be just him but there's no denying that Fai is an individual who's changed him. Kurogane knows that he made a change in the magician in return.

Telling him not to worry is like telling him not to be a ninja. It just can't happen. He cares about Fai so of course that means worrying about him. That's what family does.

Kurogane sees through that teasing grin but doesn't comment on it even if an eyebrow raises slightly. He'll have to get used to that again. Seeing those smiles and to all of the emotions hidden behind it.

Sorry Fai, but he doesn't ruffle easily these days.] Not nearly as old as you are, mage.

[There is a thinking pause that follows Fai's question.] Anything I want to ask they probably won't answer.

[Complicated questions that no warden would want a prisoner to know the answer to.]

I'll see you in a few minutes.
