[An'yu, on the other hand, is used to this. He is the best Alchemist that Zangyaku has at the moment, and perhaps one of the best in the world. People come to him all the time to watch him work.
As things stand, he is done in record time. Handing it back now, before fetching his cup.]
It will respond to the Azoth within you. A thought on your end, and it will do as you want it to.
[ Brigade takes the masks back with both hands. ] If I hadn't received so much of your kindness already, An'yu-sama, you keep giving me more. [ He bows his head again in gratitude ] Thank you. [ He puts the mask on, and with a thought, he feels its metal wrap itself over his head. Then with another thought, he feels it recede into a negligible strip at the back of his neck. ]
Your work, as always, is amazing. [ He offers a toast and drinks. ]
[ He pauses as his thoughts move to the weight of his shield on his back, and to the other shield. ] Any news on Gintoki's shield, sir?
[ Brig is ecstatic at the news ] That's wonderful news, sir! He's alive! Your friend's alive! [ He puts a hand on An'yu's shoulder and presses reassuringly. ]
Is there anything we can do to help bring him back, sir? Were you able to get a chance to speak with him?
That's good to see her. [ Brigade is genuinely happy for An'yu ] How were you able to speak to him, sir?
[ Brig pauses and adds ] Keep him close to you, sir. Hikaru may have given the shield to me but I only see myself as the messenger to you. Keep the shield if it'll bring Gintoki back quicker.
I would be honored to bear him where I go, sir. [ He smiles as he says so. ]
[ But Brigade wonders at the other statement ] You told him about me, sir? [ An'yu said their conversation had been short. Brigade's sure there were more important things to talk about than him ]
[ Brigade bows his head ] Thank you, sir. I will take good care of him.
[ Brigade takes a puff of his cigarette and sips on his sake. He'd have a new travelling companion strapped to his back. He'd be like Josh, Taning and Yulia now, with their own personal companions with them where they go. ] Is there a way I can speak to him, sir? If there is, I would like to get to know him, really.

no subject
Yes, actually. Gintoki is in there, as far as I can tell. He is very weak, and still recovering himself, but... he is there.
[And this makes An'yu happier than he could ever possibly describe.]

[Picking up his drink now, to take another sip. He can't stop smiling.]
We were able to talk for a bit.
[It wasn't enough, but well. There is always next time.]

[Then, with a teasing look:]
He is curious about you, Brigade, and raring to travel again. He's always been a wanderer at heart.

[Tilts head at the shield.]
He appears to be resting for the moment, though.
no subject
[ He looks at the shield ] I'm having trouble thinking of using him as a weapon, sir. It might hurt him.
no subject
I'm pretty sure that he can take it.
no subject
Then I'll bring to him again the adventure of battle, sir, and hopefully it helps him recover.
[ Brigade raises his glass for a toast. ] To the sun rising in the horizon and yet another Golden Dawn. To the future and bringing Gintoki back.
no subject
And to us.
[Now, to down that like a proper Japanese-Filipino man would!]
