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.

Where we share the same iron pot shall not be that place.
Not just peace for yourself, but peace for those around you.

Izanagi-san, for example—he comes from a peaceful time where weapons aren't necessary for everyday life. It's quite unnerving to him, seeing weapons strewn about—and this is our home, after all. Somewhere that weapons should need be brandished.
[ gently, gently, ]
. . . It is troublesome to ask of you, I know, but could you please inconvenience yourself a bit to show that boy some kindness?

[Look he's a good man and waits til Lucifel sits to poke at the food. It really does smell nice... nice enough he will eat even though he feels horrible! After all, even when you spend a whole afternoon contemplating the merits of abandoning identity and becoming a cave troll, you still have to eat to live.]

Re: Day 275, afternoon
Then, that's good. Would you like tea or water when you eat? Or—would you like more milk?

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
Are we seriously concerned about table manners?

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
[He's just a rowdy guy, ok!]

[Harrumph! But it's got no real bite to it.]
But I understand. I'll keep them away.

Thank you, Thancred-san.

How do you like it?
Re: Day 275, afternoon
It's delicious. You really are a talent in the kitchen.

Still, I'm glad you enjoy it.
