[Nobunaga instantly moves to pick Klaus up and put them in his lap.]
[How can he make this better? CAN he make this better?]
Okay. Deep breath. Take a deep breath for me, okay, love? [Gently folds his hands around Klaus' waist and rests his head on Klaus' shoulder.]
[Does he view Klaus as a weapon? This is the hardest question he's ever been asked. There's no right answer. Nobunaga thinks of EVERYONE as a weapon. This is the problem. Mai? Lucky Charm. Weapon. Yes. All of his soldiers? Yes. But that's different because they are explicitly his weapons. Generals too. People he hasn't met yet? Yes.]
[Partner.]
Not just a weapon? [A wince. Fuck. That's bad.]
[Nobunaga places a finger over Klaus' lips.]
I sent Oichi away. So she wouldn't... couldn't be a weapon. So I couldn't use her. Sell her or risk her breaking. In my contract with Teyrey, she's a weapon. But it's okay because she's in my army. You are not.
I've called you my sheathe before, yes? So in this way you are nearly an anti-weapon. You protect me, and others from me.
There is... nothing I do not think of as a weapon. Even ice cream. The only weapon I will never use is hate. I think I told you this before. I have seen the harm it causes, and it is the one weapon I won't use. But... yes. People... even you... I think of as weapons.
