[ he's back at the pool, wow, he just lives here. but he's just angrily swimming, out of breath when he pulls himself out of the water at the end of the lap.
he tenses up when buzen steps into the pool area, and a barrier shines into place between them in record speed. ]
[ he squints at him, as though he's not sure whether to believe that—but then clearly feels a little bad about it, and the barrier pops like a harmless soap bubble. ]
[he'll just move to sit at the edge of the pool then, crossing his legs]
I know. I get it. Here, I'll put my sword a little further away from me.
[as an explanation, and he waits a second before he unties it from his waist and puts it off to the side. he can still reach it, but it's further. he hopes the gesture resonates enough.]
You don't need to say sorry. I'm glad you're protecting yourself.
[ swords are banned in his japan, so it only does so much, but it's... a gesture. he tries to accept it with a straight face as he dips his legs into the pool again. ]
...It's stupid. No one's going to try and erase me on a Friday.
It's just nerves. [ aka, he'll get over it. he's so tough and stuff. ]

[plainly...]
You're being pretty strict on yourself...

...Don't I have to be? Otherwise I might be—"erased."
no subject
But I also think if you're on guard all the time, you're gonna wipe yourself out in terms of energy.

[ it's not like he wants to be like this. he came here to relax, but he's clearly quite tense still.
how is everyone else not on-edge, frankly? ]
