[ Seated in front of everyone, the Medicine Seller looks almost demure with his hands folded in his lap, humble even. Though Rosenkrantz definitely knows that demure image is a facade. ]
Proper introductions are in order. [ The Medicine Seller bows. ] I am a Medicine Seller, or 'Kusuriuri' in my native tongue. I wield the sword of Kun, so the title of 'Kun' can be used as a name if Kusuriuri is too difficult.
I'm not entirely sure how she did it, but Miss Luna plucked me from the space between worlds as I was heading home. As these Dream Eaters as you call them are similar to the enemies I hunt and kill, I'll be staying here for the time being to investigate. I look forward to working with everyone.
[ There's another bow, and for a moment, he locks eyes with Rosenkrantz before looking away, the faintest beginnings of a flush decorating his cheeks. ]
Please, don't hesitate to ask questions. My brothers tell me I talk too much, but I think forging connections with humanity makes the task of slaying mononoke much easier.
[While this handsome little imp can fool everyone else here, Rosenkrantz knows better. That's why the big guy laughs as the humble medicine seller introduces himself. He knows Kusuriuri well, or at least well enough to understand this con artist's angle. Nonetheless, Rosen can't keep the goofy grin on his face as he watches him. He's terribly amused.]
You're putting it on thick, pretty boy! [ Rosen teases. There's nothing wrong with some lighthearted ribbing, right?] But I think we've gotten the gist of it.
[Now that Kun has been properly introduced to the rest of the gang, Rosen walks over to pat the medicine seller on the shoulder. It's a firm pat, enough to shake him slightly.]
You're going to be my partner for the evening! That way you can learn from the best.
[ Somehow, he's expecting Rosen to act like this, boisterous. Even with the akana's laughter, Kun continues. At least until the ribbing. His tongue darts outward, a soft 'phht' sound before that tongue hides behind a painted lip once more. Two can play at the teasing game. ]
Still, it's good to have everyone on the same page.
[ He startles a little, at the pat. Before a wry grin stretches across his face. ]
Monopolizing me already? [ He adds in a whisper. ] Careful, someone might see the attention for what it is.
[ Kun stands, hoisting up his medicine box. The pack is almost comically huge on his back, but its weight seemingly doesn't affect him. ]
[Of course he is acting like this! Rosen won't pass up the opportunity to get up close and personal with his favorite medicine seller. After all, he'd been feeling a little 'under the weather' lately and could use some good medicine. It makes no difference whether Kun has the right medicine for whatever ails him.
He just wants to monopolize Kun's time as much as possible. The arkana is a brat like that.]
Let them gawk, I'll just rip out their eyes if they stare too long.
[No, he won't. Rosen will not harm anyone, no matter how much he yells at Luna and the rest of his mismatched team of dorks. But that doesn't mean he won't yell at them for getting too involved in his business.]
In any case, how the hell can you carry all that?
[He gestures his hand towards that ridiculously huge medicine box.]
[ It's highly likely Kun does have the medicine Rosen needs, but who knows if it'll actually work. Regardless, he's waving a hand at the threat. ]
Please don't, I'm a Medicine Seller, not a proper doctor.
[ The jury is out if Kun knows he's joking, but the genuine smile on his lips implies he does. At Rosen's question however, his expression turns thoughtful. ]
I'm just used to it I suppose. I remember when my mentor first let me carry his box. I'm a bit more energetic than he is and I'd run everywhere, I guess he hoped the weight would get me to slow down. It took me about a week of adjusting to the weight and soon I was right back to running.
So you were always the rambunctious type, eh? You sound a little like myself.
[He mutters while reminiscing about his past. Most Bohemian Calamities believe Rosen is just a figment of their imagination, but he is much more than that. Before the Dreamscape evolved into what it is today, this was a vibrant and magical land. However, everything went to shit centuries ago, rendering it into the miserable hellhole it is today. But back then it used to be a really beautiful place.]
I didn't have much in the means of a mentor, but the Mother Goddess always watched over me. I'm sure I gave her a couple of headaches as a kid.
[Only a couple? He's being rather generous on the number count there.]
First hundred years of my existence, I didn't have a human body. So once I became a Medicine Seller, first order of business was taking advantage of all the things I could now do.
[ Kun remembers it well, staring down at his hands, marveling at the fact he now had them. Days spent in near sensory overload as he took it all in. Once he was ready, it was time to learn absolutely everything. ]
I've a bad habit of being unable to sit still, so it's likely I will. [ A smirk stretches across a painted lip. ] Why? Are you planning on tying me down?
[That certainly piqued his interest, especially since it vaguely recalls how he lost his temporal form shortly after the miasma overtook Rea Monde. Everyone was doomed by that point, with only the remnants of their consciousness remaining within the rift.]
I see; this explains why you appear to enjoy running around with us. [He chuckles quietly.] You appreciate what you've accomplished and your new life as a medicine seller.
[Rosen scoffs at the question and shakes his head.]
I would never be so bold as to believe I could tie you down.
[ He trails off, thinking back. A sword lay in his hands -hands he could hardly comprehend having- a voice speaking of the sacred duty he now had. At the time, all he could think about was a red room bathed in smoke, a sweet voice gone silent and the sensation of being broken. ]
...a second chance.
[ Kun does however, laugh at Rosen's words. ]
You'd be surprised, in the right context I actually find being tied up quite relaxing.
[If Kun hadn't already gotten his attention, he would certainly have it now.]
What's the context here? I feel like I should know for...research purposes.
[He's being painfully silly. Rosen understands that Kun is well aware of his attraction to him. However, he wants to skirt the truth a little. Just a little. A part of him worries that his perverse thoughts will scare the poor man away.
[ He can't help but tease. He knows damn well Rosen's imagining this in a perverse context, and in some ways, it can be. ]
Well if you must know...I find being tied in shibari styled ties helps me meditate. I reach the state of 'no-mind' very easily once bound. Of course, I don't mind being bound for more carnal purposes.
[ He slides up closer, pressing his side against Rosen. Normally he shies away when someone meets his teasing with some of their own, but somehow the akana makes it fun. ]
