[ SHEEPZANTOS. HELP. iwatooshi doesn't know about this so the sheep just gets a curious, confused look from him as he heads over. he's already cleaned up and changed, ditching his ruined battle gear for a black kimono with light pink and purple accents. ]
If I'm honest, it almost feels like it was too quick. [ but he smiles nonetheless! ] But I won't complain about that. The easier the battle, the faster we can return to where we need to be. I'm sure all of us are ready for exactly that.
Right. Truthfully, it would've been a lot easier if our timeline didn't go back, but... I'm kind of glad, too. I want the chance to be able to face him myself, with everything that I've learned here. And... well, things'll be complicated.
[ a brief glance back at sheepzantos who is glowering ] ... But, I'm happy for complicated, too.
[ the mention of imanotsurugi makes rondo brighten. ]
You'll have to make it up to him with a lot of sparring. [ fond... ] Will you tell him I said hello?
Human life is always complicated, for better or worse.
[ why is this sheep so angry. ]
I don't think he'd ever let me go without sparring... Though I expect he'll be much stronger than me, by now. [ he'll be so proud. ] And yes, I will. Although... You said you wanted to write him a letter yourself, didn't you?

rondo's still in his flameguard stuff because of course he is. he laughs a little at the comment though, and pats the spot next to him? come sit. ]
Yes - I certainly am. [ heh. ] And... I'm grateful for a short battle. I've one to return to likely as soon as I'm home.
You must be excited to get back to your master, right?

Right... You still have to deal with Sazantos and his god, don't you? I wish that I could help, but I believe you'll make it through.
[ as for himself... he laughs a bit. ]
I am. Imanotsurugi, too - if he's returned while we were here, he'll be quite angry I've made him wait again.
