[ Some would probably say that's just flirting with poverty, but Katsura gets it. There's nothing more worthwhile than leading a life one can believe in, nothing more rewarding than being able to protect those around you, nothing more freeing than the chance to do the right thing. Perhaps he's a romantic at heart, but truly, now that he thinks of it, he can't imagine Gintoki being anything but exactly who he is in their new world. ]
[ He can only hope it won't bring upon him even more suffering. But at least now he has the chance to be there with him if it happens. ]
Why? Do you have any previous commitments?
[ come do Jouishishi things with him Gintokiiiiii ]
[ sighs, as if he ever had any reason to expect anything else ]
Very well. Then I will watch your back from my own.
[ sort of like he has been... or has been trying. perhaps from a little closer by here, though. there isn't really a real reason for him to keep distance in this world, aside from not being too overbearing or getting in the way. ]
[ he blows on his tea to cool it off quicker and finally cuts a bite of the pie with the fork. ]
[ His brow twitches slightly. What's with that face? Honestly, why is it always drama with this guy? Nothing has changed! Not between the two of them. ]
[ Of course nothing has changed. That's their whole thing right? That's their promise to one another, after all. Don't change. And so, just as he always has, Katsura will continue to offer Gintoki a place at his side, without any real expectation for him to take it. ]
[ After all, whenever they actually need the other's help, they just slide back into place as naturally as a river reclaiming its path, without any sort of agreements or conditions necessary. ]
[ Nevertheless, he could not claim it does not sadden him when their paths diverge, even though it is usually temporary, and even though it may be for the best. Sometimes, a samurai is unable to hide their heart, leading to soft expressions and additional exposition about their past burdens shaping their future. Perhaps one such moment is right here; in a strange world that is not theirs but still deserves help. ]
But of course, if you find yourself short of an UNO partner [ or someone to slay monsters with, or someone to hold back your hair when you puke, or just about anything at all ] do let me know.
[ He's calm! He's very calm! Don't worry, there's plenty more where that came from. ]
[ But seeing as he's said what he wanted at the moment, they can continue to have a (mostly) nice tea and pie time while bitching about some inane details and discussing which soap opera might be worth keeping up with here. ]
[ He'll get out of his hair (for now) after that. ]

I'm doing things my way.
[ This pie is definitely not as sweet as it could have been. Freaking Zura. ]
