ic; there's so many wars we fought, there's so many things we're not

also obviously demon lifespans are not enough to make it all the way from sengoku to shinsengumi times, but in this case we're just conveniently pretending they are for musebox shenanigans.. sshhh. ]

[OH NO MAXIMUM GRANDPA LEVELS REACHED. CRITICAL, OVERWHELMING GRANDPANESS IS HAPPENING HERE.

Okay but no really, Amagiri is embarrassed. His surprise even shows on his face for a moment, as he blinks at Kazutake and his fond reminiscing.

("But grandpaaaaa, i'm a full grown demon nowwwww, don't talk like that...!!")

Okay no maybe not quite like that, but it is embarrassing. A moment later, though, a resigned (and amused) sigh escapes him, and his shoulders slump.]

Ah... [It's true enough. He's learned a lot of what he's capable of from his grandpappy]

It has served me in good stead during these difficult times. [Because grandpa is still a badass honestly.] Though...

...perhaps it is a little embarrassing to recall those days so easily. [GRANDPA YOU'RE EMBARRASSING WITH YOUR DOTING.]

[ AT LEAST HE'S SORT OF AWARE OF IT THIS TIME.. it's just that he doesn't care.. as long as the other demons are around this much should be fine, okay, he's just thinking of the good times with he was still a cute little tiny Amagiri!!

(Maybe it's to make up for the fact that Kazutake was practically already in the kitchen making riceballs for everyone ever when he was a little kid.. the Amagiri kid life, you never have much of those cute moments to reminisce about..) ]

Are you embarrassed of those times, Kyuuju? [ He's smiling, but it's not really like he's teasing him or anything. It's more just that he can't help but think that's adorable.. wow, he never thought he'd ever be in the doting position, but look at him now. Who let this embarrassing daddy reproduce.. ]

You were such a good child too. You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, I assure you.

[ UNLIKE CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE... ]

[So much doting.... he was clearly meant to be an embarrassing daddy and grandpa though, this was inevitable. The universe would not have been right if he had not reproduced.

So Amagiri just relaxes a little more, because even if the doting is super embarrassing, it's...also kind of nice? This is definitely...what it's like to have a home. Having a family means having a home. So long as there is this warm feeling to return to, what more could he possibly need?]

... [grandpa might be biased (no amagiri was definitely a well-behaved child)] I cannot say it isn't...entirely not embarrassing to reminisce in this fashion.

But...nor is it bad in any way.

[This warm feeling certainly can't be, anyway.]
