[ He doesn’t say anything and continues stabbing… Even when the hand is placed on his arm, the motion does not stop. The dragon continues getting impaled, wet noises being the only answer Kashuu receives, despite being long gone. It seems Kanesada mind is elsewhere, absent, and he can be handled with ease.

“You can give him the gentlest death.” ]

[It's painful to watch, even knowing what he knows. To see the vibrancy taken from a bright blade - what for, and how, and why? What is this meant to show him, to teach him? What is the point of any of this?

He speaks to the air and that haunting, familiar voice, his grip tightening on Kanesada's arm.]

I'll give you the opposite of a gentle death, if I ever find you.

[Because he lashes out at the targets he can find, and a nebulous "this place, this voice, these stupid adventures" makes for a big one. The prism is an intangible enemy, the Dreamer is a little more tangible, and he can funnel all of his spite and fury and hurt toward them, whether or not they hold the blame.

He'll try to grab Kanesada's opposite arm, try to wrest his blade from him, probably using a little more force than is really necessary considering he doesn't seem to be mentally present anymore.]

[ Kanesada stops stabbing because he’s being forced to, but he doesn’t look at Kashuu. He’s ragdoll enough to be put on chocobo back and returned to Falcon’s Nest, the empty shell that he is. That is, if Kashuu takes him back. Otherwise, he will go back to this ritual stabbing until the dragons take him.

He’s still a sword, acting as a sword, isn’t he? Maybe that is enough to keep him alive, to hope that maybe he will return.

However, Kashuu will notice there is a black bird that has been watching, kind of cute! And it will follow him and Vin now. ]

[HE DOESN'T TRUST THIS BLACK BIRD HELP he's just giving it a suspicious glance and otherwise leaving it alone for now.

But he's also not going to leave Fake Kanesan out here to continue his mindless stabbing, so. He will do his best to get this mans that's like a foot taller than him back onto his GTA chocobo so he can get them back to the base. TALLYHO.]

[ (bird whisper) i'm just... birb. Anyway, Kashuu can take Soulless Kanesada back to Falcon's Nest where he will find Vin talking and stuff. yeets you out of this thread. ]
