He is. He's my younger twin. [Yukio must have been worried about him - but Kobato did say time stopped for the ones back home. Admittedly, the idea of his brother being frozen in time was... distressing. But. Safer there than here? It was best not to think about it much. He would ask if she had any siblings, but he had a feeling the answer would have been no.

He returns that smile as brightly as he can. It's the least he can do to show his appreciation.]

Alright, Kobato, I'll be sure to give you a call~. [Her question doesn't throw him off guard. He shouldn't have mentioned the sword in the first place, but what's done is done. As far as he was concerned, it was out of sight so it should stay out of mind.]

Nah... If I get it back, then I get it back. Let's just say I don't need it anymore now that I have Poochy and your help too.
