( The wound now clean, he wraps the bandages around his hand. He glances over at Chougi when he keeps moving but he doesn't say anything. Some things are better left unsaid and there's no point picking at the small things. He'll say something when he's ready. That's the kind of situation this is, after all. )

... Kind of.

( He's putting everything back now. When he's finished, he goes digging through... another cabinet but he'll keep talking while he's going through that, )

She had to repair the handle once. It wasn't too bad... ( When he finally comes over, he's carrying a go table. ) She asked the smith for help since she wasn't used to it. She'll probably ask him for help again so don't worry about that.

( He'll place the white bowl on Chougi's side and the black bowl on his side. Yeah, they sure are going to play a game while they wait out their repairs!!! )

It felt real weird at first. Ya know like... it'd be real easy to just scrap me and get a whole new sword that isn't messed up. I kept thinking about why she'd wanna keep me and why she'd even bother keeping me around.

( A sword that had never cut before being summoned in this life. A sword that couldn't save a life. A sword that isn't as good as a gun.

Anyway, )

Black goes first.

( So he'll stare at the board a bit and try to figure out his move while Chougi is speaking. By the time Chougi finishes, he'll have placed his first piece. )
