[The apologies Sanji would owe the other if he only knew... but he's working on an assumption that hasn't come to light yet, and it's why he allows himself a moment's weariness before shaking himself back to the present]
Probably.
[Spoken bluntly, the truth of things]
Got no reason to assume this shit'll go well a second time. I'm not even sure this is Tiger-sama or Dragon-sama's doing, either... after everything, it doesn't make sense for them to go back on their promises.
[So... likely a third party that has nothing to do with their former hosts]
[So yanking them back in would only undo all their efforts, and wouldn't make any sense.
Yasusada's oddly quiet, then, as he thinks about it. If everyone is assuming danger and violence await them, then they're probably right--and this time, there's no Okita or Hijikata to protect, to obey. There's no team captain, no orders from the saniwa... it's a little uncomfortable, for a sword who has no interest in being a free, independent human.]
Sanji-kun? [His voice and his expression are both uncertain, because--well. Sanji isn't his master, and Yasusada doesn't want him to be. Still, aside from the other swords, he's the strongest tie Yasusada has here.] If things go badly, and you figure out how to help, will you tell me?
[That's partly why Sanji dragged Yasusada away from the bustle of the group -- to promise him that, and more importantly:]
Oi, speaking of which ... listen, I know you don't really got your masters here, so shit's probably weird for you--
[In some ways, Sanji can understand. He isn't so beholden to his captain or his crew that he can't operate independently of them, but his soul feels a little emptier without them as his guide. The chef shoots him a grim smile]
Just... come to me if you're planning on doing anything rash, alright? Not sayin' I'll stop you, but you got somewhere you need to be too, right?
[It's a kind offer, especially when Sanji actually knows what he's saying. Yasusada is more-or-less friendly to everyone, but the bonds he forms are vastly different, depending on how well someone understands his devotion. He hesitates, though, because he knows himself too well.]
Sometimes, I don't know what's strange for humans to hear. Especially civilians. [And sometimes, he does know, and just doesn't care--Sanji's fully aware of both of those things, but Yasusada wants to say them anyway. To prove, maybe, that he isn't totally oblivious to his own actions.] But I'll try.
[He can't promise he won't blurt out something terrible in a tense situation. But other than that, he'll do his best.]
