[Klaus lets himself be picked up, pulled into Nobunaga's lap, but he's no less still once he's there because he's waiting for whatever he says.]
[And it's probably a good thing he put his finger over their lips because they don't even know what to say. Not just a weapon.]
[The words do not help him feel any more settled than he just did. It's the truth at least, but they can feel the pricking sensation of tears forming and they look up trying to blink it away because that seems more reasonable than letting himself actually cry. But if Nobunaga notices that...Klaus doesn't want him to feel bad about it, so they're just gonna bury their face against his shoulder instead. That's obviously much better and much less obvious.]
[Even still, it doesn't stop his voice from sounding strained and thick.] I...I don't want to be a weapon. [This is just old trauma sitting there in his mind.] I just...just... [They do their best to draw in their breath slowly and quietly to hide the sound of how close to actually crying they really are.]
[And suddenly he just kind of wants to roll out of Nobunaga's lap and lie face down elsewhere. But he's also aware this would probably make things worse and he does believe Nobunaga is a good person. A person with a flawed view on the world because of his life, but...rational thinking is complicated in this moment.]
