[HE REGRETS CALLING AS SOON AS HE HEARS THE OBNOXIOUS JINGLE--
But no okay, he's gotta check on his dumb friend considering the last time he saw her, she was being hunted by four Okunis.]
Hey! If you're around, pick up already.

[no she can't come to the phone because SHE'S DEAD LIKE SHE PROBABLY KIND OF DESERVES]
[just kidding, after the obnoxious jingle repeats one more time... Okuni finally picks up!!]
Kiyo-chan? Did you call me by accident? Isn't that an embarrassing mistake to make after being here for so long?
[NICE... anyway, Okuni sounds PERFECTLY FINE, like the true punk she always sounds like. but then again, she'd sound perfectly fine ever after getting holes DRILLED IN HER FEET so who knows...]

[WHAT KIND OF LIFE DOES OKUNI LIVE WHAT THE FUCK]
Of course I didn't call you by accident! What kinda grandpa do you take me for, huh? I know what I'm doing.
[He'll fight Okuni, okay. He'll fight her to prove that he knows the technologies...]
I wanted to make sure you were still alive.

[LOOK THE HOLES WERE JUST ONE TIME AND SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR THAT TO HAPPEN]
It's not like I specifically called you a grandpa, you know? You're the one who mentioned it. [Okuni sure likes to make annoying remarks, especially when people are threatening to flash their concerned feelings everywhere!!!]

[Not asking for it doesn't make it any better?! HE'S TIRED. He's not tired enough to be a grandpa, though...
Nor is he tired enough to stop flashing his concerned feelings everywhere. Forget about the threatening step, okay, he'll sail right into the "I'LL DO IT" arena.]
Hey, why're you avoiding the question?

[Okuni looks at her cerevice like it's done her a personal wrong and HUFFS out loud.]
I'm not! [okay maybe she is.... It's still a strange thing to experience when you've led a life of punkishness and general shitheadery to pretty much everyone ever. She pauses, and it's almost like she's about to avoid the question again by not answering it at all, but then she switches to video!! GESTURING GRANDLY]
There, see? I'm alive! [and also..... IN A TREE AGAIN, sURPRISE but otherwise looking hale and hearty!!]

[Oh, good! The video clicks on and Okuni is miraculously in one piece...! Kashuu appears to be doing well too, so good work team, truly.
That said... The relief in his expression definitely shifts quickly to "why" as soon as he realizes what this backdrop is.]
Why're you still in a tree?!

Why're you still in a tree?!
[look this is a different tree from before????]
[but she's also relieved to see Kashuu looking okay even if his eye might be WONKY at the moment, but she's much better at pretending she isn't relieved!! maybe. anyway she SHRUGS]
I like it better out here. Staying inside is boring. [also there's no one inside with her so it makes her feel lonely, but maybe it's better to pretend that she's a lover of trees than admit that.]
It's not like I'm going fall out, so don't start! [NAGGING]

[Okay but he started nagging basically the second he called her. SHE SHOULD EXPECT THIS.]
It's better to be inside where it's clean and cozy. [Unlike the streets which are LITTERED WITH DEAD ROBOCORPSES.]
Geez... You really like to make things hard!

[This is why Okuni needs a babysitter?? DON'T POKE CORPSES even robotic ones!!]
Duh! [Of course he's inside!!
Though honestly, it's less because he wants to stay clean and more because he needs to keep an eye on his fellow swords and master.]
There's more than enough to keep me busy in here.

If it'll get you outta that tree, fine.
[ALL PART OF HIS CRAFTY PLAN to make sure that Okuni is okay...]
I don't need to give directions or anything by now, right?

[i forgot to mention where he is wtf im laughing BUT HE'S AT SWORDHAUS OF COURSE--
And WHY IS SHE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW?!]
Hey! Why can't you use the door? Don't be a weirdo! [He's Tired.]
And WHY IS SHE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW?!]
Hey! Why can't you use the door? Don't be a weirdo! [He's Tired.]
[He knows you can hear him, Okuni... HE KNOWS!!
But he's also a fool who goes over to open the window anyway, if only so he can say to her face:]
Why are you so weird?

Why are you so weird?
Weird? How rude!
[RUDE!!!! but other than saying that, Okuni doesn't look offended because it's true, it's so true. Instead, she's grinning... as always. She leans over to poke Kashuu in the chest with her fan]
In my opinion, it's the person who willingly talks to weird people who's even weirder.
[THAT'S YOU, KASHUU KIYOMITSU!!!]

That's not how it works!
[AN INDIGNANT HUFF and he moves to bat at her fan!! Stop that, punk.
Though after, he does step aside to let her into the room like a semi-decent host. No point inviting her over if he just expects her to stand outside the whole time, right?]
...
[He's also definitely giving her a careful look-over, checking for DAMAGE.]

[yes thank you kashuu just let okuni crawl through the window like the next apunkolypse... anyway once she's through, she looks around Kashuu's room with great big expectant eyes then glances back to see Kashuu Staring at her...]
[THE ONLY DAMAGE that's really visible at the moment is a bunch of scattered bruises on her arms and neck, but they're pretty light by now... she's got a cut on her side but that's already neatly bandaged and hidden by her old-ass historical drama robes!! she might be moving a little slower than usual BUT THAT'S NO BIG DEAL]
[time for Okuni to STARE RIGHT BACK AT KASHUU, finally sidling up in order to invade his personal space in order to be annoying, but also to look at him better]
Is that... a wrinkle...? [mostly to be annoying though]

I do not have any wrinkles. Haruji just repaired me. [HUFFS AND PUFFS--
But he does kind of divert his eyes from Okuni a little to glance at the mirror on the table behind her. Will he ever shake these concerns??]
—Anyway, it looks like you really did get outta there okay. Good! Your robots were a real pain, y'know.

[SHE KNOWS YOU KASHUU, SHE KNOWS HIS VANITY... or she does now at least, the way she titters behind a hand. also """"repairs"""" sometimes she forgets he's actually a sword until he goes and says something like that, but before she can ask about that...]
I wouldn't say... [okuni pauses, then blinks at him] Did you end up running into one of mine?
[and now that he's mentioned repairs... there's no point in invading his personal space to see if he's okay if he's been all fixed up right... that means he could have BEEN ARMLESS AND EYELESS before this and Okuni will never know because he's all okay now??? WHAT A CHEATER and she's also maybe the tiniest bit concerned now]

[HA HA HA being a sword sure does have its perks sometimes!! LIKE THIS, being armless and eyeless a few days ago and totally a-okay now!! Truly, it would be impossible to tell from the outside that his eye is going haywire because the chip was ripped out of his head.]
Yeah, one of yours tried to ambush us in an alley.
["Us" and "tried to", though...
He huffs, but at least he doesn't seem fussed by the personal bubble invasion. That's usually what he does, after all!]

["US" "TRIED TO" but more importantly "ALLEY", Okuni's face clears up in realization and she nods.]
The headless one, right? [a normal person would take this chance to side-eye kashuu and ask him if it was necessary to DECAPITATE, but okuni's not normal... so instead of side-eyeing, now she's curious... and still concerned because what if Okunibot STABBED KASHUU] Who was with you?
[it wasn't kousetsu right she's sure kousetsu was one of the people okunibots wanted to kill]

[He just NODS BACK... Good thing Okuni isn't normal, because Kashuu sure isn't either. This is probably the point where a normal person would be like "sorry I had a weird lapse in sanity and decapitated your robot", but Kashuu just does what he does to get the job done...]
Okita was with me. I showed up after he stabbed it but he said it hadn't been dispatched yet, so we went to track it down.
[WHY DOES OKUNIBOT WANT TO KILL ALL OF THE PURE BEANS, THOUGH.]
