[even though his own big brother is back, at least in this world, senjuro could still never get enough hair ruffles. even with all the confusion, he can't hold back the broad smile it coaxes out of him.]

Ah... yes, I've seen it. [he pauses, ears growing hot as he debates how honest he wants to be.] I -- haven't really looked closely at anyone but -- our mother...

[it seems he can't really keep secrets from kyojuro, regardless of which one it is. senjuro looks up at him with newfound awe.]

You're really from the past...?

[The way Kyojuro's heart melts at the sight. Oh, how he's missed when they both lived peacefully in this place, and the smiles came so easily.]

It must be nice to see her, even as she is. I am sorry she could not be here this evening.

[Even he barely understands whatever magic has allowed them to step foot into this realm. And really, it's better if he doesn't question it. He's not the brains of the operation.]

Wh -- really? Did I travel with you?

You did!

[Kyojuro's voice is warm with the memories. Even if there were rough times faced out on the road, they all came through. Much of that was thanks to the efforts of their mother and, as they grew older, Senjuro's own work, too.]

While father and I honed our skills in combat, you worked with mother to learn all she had to teach when it came to patching the two of us up. The four of us were an excellent team. You even taught H- [His brows draw together. Even if that name was proper in this case, it felt like a closely kept secret between his younger counterpart and Akaza.] The man who would become Akaza a few things.

Perhaps the Grove would not have come the home and haven that it did if not for you!
