Shame. Being locked up for that long is unpleasant, though I'm sure he has his reasons.

[Being forced to remain in one place is yet another thing that Scaramouche understands, having a portion of life being trapped unable to escape and feeling miserable for it. He finds that such a small bit of information explains much of Kazuha's desire to wander, and it hits him at just how little he actually knows about the samurai.

Silently he watches the boy duck down, as he makes his way over to the edge of the water to take a seat. He's not here to upset Kazuha and with what little he knows he needs to step carefully around their conversation - keep his voice calm and understanding.]

Sushi... am I a food now, Kazuha-chan?

[Amusement tugs at the corners of his mouth with the boy's mispronunciation of his name. An act that he's certain only doesn't irritate him for the fact that there's no intent behind it - just a small child unable to quite grasp their way around it.]

And don't you worry about that, you won't get in trouble for being here.
