Ah, well—I don't mind it, however you decide to perceive me. Aniki prefers to be considered everyone's older brother, and in the first place, maturity is about experience, rather than age, right?
[ stepping in then—after thancred if he's just going in but before thancred if thancred is holding it for him ]
[ in fact, setting out a do not disturb sign at the door so no one bothers thancred, before getting started on mutton. do not die in the baths thancred ]
[He will not die!! He will pass out though. So it's a long bath -- concerning so maybe. Eventually he does slip down into the water, and that's plenty to wake him, sputtering and startled.
He's still groggy when he emerges, the perpetual dark circles under his eyes particularly obvious.]
[ by now he can definitely smell the stew, being kept on warm, as well as rice pilaf. lucifel's getting up from the breakfast nook to go to the fridge ]
Ah—Thancred-san. It's been . . .

...I see. I must've been more worn out than I thought.
[Well. He knew he was tired and the bath was very nice. He's rubbing his face with a pruny hand, then coming over to investigate the delicious smells. It's not exactly what he's used to but he's absolutely not complaining.]
Just as one shall wash hands at the sink when washing hands, and just as one shall eat at the table when it is time to eat, so shall one clean their weapons when and where it is appropriate to do so.
[ offering his hands out '^' for the weapons '^' ]
Where we share the same iron pot shall not be that place.

Re: Day 275, afternoon
True enough. Now, I think I'll go wash off the sweat, hmm?
[And the blood but w/e.]
Re: Day 275, afternoon
Re: Day 275, afternoon
[Maybe... That does in fact sound nice.]
Re: Day 275, afternoon
[ while he moves to set the book down over at the kotatsu ]
Re: Day 275, afternoon
I think I will. Thank you.
[He's gonna go get clean, and relax, and probably pass out in the bath like an old man cause he is exhausted.]

—a couple hours, I believe?

That smells incredible.
Re: Day 275, afternoon
[ pulling out a glass bottle of milk from the fridge, to offer to him ]
Here, first.
Re: Day 275, afternoon
[He takes the bottle, stares a moment, then shrugs.]
This is essential, I suppose?
Re: Day 275, afternoon
Re: Day 275, afternoon
[Shrug! But he's drinking it.]
We have a similar location in my home region, but I believe those old goats would rather drink spirits...
Re: Day 275, afternoon
Re: Day 275, afternoon
No, no. This is more than adequate, and quite refreshing.

Re: Day 275, afternoon
Then, that's good. Would you like tea or water when you eat? Or—would you like more milk?
Re: Day 275, afternoon
He's just going to hand over the bottle and go sit down to maintenance his weapons before any questions can occur.]
Water is plenty. You're already working more than hard enough.
Re: Day 275, afternoon
[ a little sternly, chastising ]
Re: Day 275, afternoon
Are we seriously concerned about table manners?
Re: Day 275, afternoon

Re: Day 275, afternoon
If you insist.
Re: Day 275, afternoon
It's a matter of mindset, after all. Just what peace can be had when you eat with one hand and hold your blade with the other?
[ and he's taking the blades to go put them away, just over by the wall before he goes back into the kitchen to get him some stew ]
Re: Day 275, afternoon
