[messianic]

I didn't know you were coming over...

[He murmurs that out, but he won't argue her fussing because.

Yeah.

He feels like crap.]

[scooptimistic]

Sorry, I know I should have called first... I'll make it brief.

[ After she guides Minato back to wherever the heck he was resting in the first place. ]

[messianic]

It's fine... [Minato just waves a hand at that, from where he is now flopped on the couch.]

I like visitors.

[Usually. When he's not dying.]

It feels like this came out of nowhere, honestly...

[scooptimistic]

All the more reason to rest as much as you can!

[ But after a moment, she settles a little plush bunny on Minato's chest. Here you go, trooper. ]

[messianic]

[Oh...?

Minato stirs at that, slowly lifting the bunny to blink at it.]

... This is...

[...]

Maya-san, did you make this...?

[scooptimistic]

Yep.

[ and she's grinning, softly. ]

These little guys are about all I can make, but... well, you've been supporting me a lot, Minato-kun. As an adult, it's even kind of embarrassing. So I thought I should let you know how grateful I am.

[messianic]

[.... Maya...]

... Thank you. [Minato says that softly, but very heartfelt, even as he sits up.

(Weird... the headache is gone.)]

I...really appreciate it, Maya-san. He's very cute.

[scooptimistic]

Thanks! I figured you're kind of bunny-like yourself, with how chill you are, so it was an easy choice.

[messianic]

Am I...? Huh... I never thought about it that way.

[Minato's got more color to his face now as he inspects the stuffed animal, expression intrigued.]

Should I give him a name, then?

[scooptimistic]

Absolutely. He's yours now. And I'd feel bad if he didn't have a name.

[messianic]

Hmm... Maybe...

[...]

Benzomaru-kun. [WHAT.]

[scooptimistic]

Ben... zo?

[ WHAT. ]

[messianic]

It feels like a pretty brave name, right?

[why]

[scooptimistic]

... It sounds like an antiseptic to me.

[messianic]

[WOW.]

Well, maybe... Katsuchiyo instead, then?

[scooptimistic]

... I feel like you're trying to make this bunny a samurai...

[messianic]

... It's a brave name, right?

[RIGHT??? SO IT'S FINE.]

... And samurai were my history teacher's favorite topic, so that's all I really remember.

[scooptimistic]

... Sounds like you had a really passionate teacher.

But you know... why not? He's your bunny now, he can be a brave samurai!

[messianic]

Mm... thank you, Maya-san. I'll treasure him a lot.

[He's so cute...

A beat.

... .... ...]

It's weird, but... I feel a lot better, too.

[scooptimistic]

Oh... really?

[ nani the heck ]

Maybe his samurai spirit just spread to you.

[messianic]

That'd be nice, really...

[HUH...]

I don't really get it, but I'm not going to complain. It's honestly a relief that I'm not worse off right now.

[scooptimistic]

I'm glad, too. I really thought you were going to be bedridden for the next week or two with how bad you looked.

[ And Minato, of all people, definitely didn't deserve that. ]

[messianic]

[t...thanks, Maya...]

A week or two...

You don't have very much faith in my constitution, do you....?

[scooptimistic]

I have plenty of faith, but you looked awful.

[ this is Friendship. ]

[messianic]

[is it... it is friendship...]

... Right... well. I feel okay now, so I think I'll be fine. Nothing to worry about.
