(He's all cleaned up and ready to go in no time thanks to the saniwa's magic. Even the blood on his robes seems to wash away, though, the dirt is another thing. Like Mikazuki, he also drops off his robes with Kasen who immediately understands why Mikazuki had suddenly visited him earlier (Tsurumaru sees that blue sticking on top of the pile). Well, he's glad Kasen didn't bother to ask.
It really shouldn't take him so long to come by the main room but Mikazuki shouldn't expect him to come too soon either. For all of his acting, Tsurumaru Kuninaga does care about those around him and he wasn't the only one who'd come out of their most recent mission with injuries. He checks on his squad mates, surprising them mid-scan and check up, teasing at them to get better because they're too easy to surprise when they're like this. He's a little gentler with some of the more heavily injured ones.
As if that wasn't enough, it's only natural he becomes distracted when he passes by the tantou. Did he go out of his way to meet them? He's always drawn towards the sound of children and Mikazuki can probably hear them calling out to him. (Tsurumaru-san! Is it okay to be here? Weren't you hurt?) He just laughs in response to their questions, explaining things away with how strong he is and how the saniwa's magic can do anything. It's clearly a good enough answer for the more naive of the tantou spirits and if anyone knows better, they certainly don't say anything out loud. There's laughter and delighted screaming and it's obvious they're playing some sort of game outside before Tsurumaru loses (on purpose?) and excuses himself.
It's only then that he visits Mikazuki who is exactly where he expected him to be. Like him, he's also changed into his more casual clothes. His mood is much lighter than it had been before and the smile he gives him now is much more natural. He doesn't enter the room right away, instead, opting to lean against the doorway until he's invited in properly (is the younger spirit feeling a little guilty about acting up earlier? maybe.))
Here you are. (Of course.) Is there anymore tea?
(Because yes, after everything that has just happened, he can just casually expect tea and sweets?)
