You just want to match?

[goldpeony]

[...]

Yeah! What's wrong with that?!

[soba]

Wow.... you really are a kid...

[ he's older than you, toi ]

[goldpeony]

[It doesn't look like he enjoys being called a kid.]

Someone gave it to me, and I don't want others to know! So they don't ask stupid, nosy questions! Especially the adults.

[soba]

[ he's just squinting ]

Why would you go through all this trouble?

[goldpeony]

[His face is indignant.]

I just told you why! I didn't want anyone to know! They could have seen him holding it.

[soba]

No, I mean, why does it matter that much?! People give each other things all the time here!

[goldpeony]

He's not my friend! People would ask questions. Or they might try to get him to give them information about it. And he's a coward, so he'd just roll over and do it.

[soba]

[ HE'S JUST

SQUINTING ]

Is this Zenitsu's?

[goldpeony]

[His soul leaves his body, honestly.]

Shhhhhhhhh!

[soba]

[ what the FUCK is going on ]

What? Is this one of those special items, or something? I literally wouldn't have suspected anything if you didn't start acting so suspiciously about it.

[goldpeony]

Yes, but shut up. Don't say anything! You're so annoying...

[Toi isn't even doing anything.]

You're also stupid. Who walks around with a sheath, but no sword? That doesn't make any sense. Obviously it's something important!

[soba]

And you think painting it a different color is going to make people think otherwise?!

[goldpeony]

What matters is they wouldn't know it belonged to him if they had seen him holding it!!

[soba]

I still don't get why that part even matters so much. You just said he's a coward and would tell people if they asked him, so if he said he gave you a scabbard, then they'd know you have it, even if you paint it.

[goldpeony]

Shut up! It'd just be one less way for someone to recognize it!

[soba]

You're so stupid.

[goldpeony]

You're stupid.

[he can't think of anything else to say in retaliation]

[soba]

If it's some kind of special item, and you don't want anyone to know about it, just make up something. Like that you're lovers and it's a sentimental gift from your boyfriend, but in a more believably constipated way.

[goldpeony]

WHAT?!

[He looks scandalized by this fucking story.]

I don't have a boyfriend!! I'm not--! I'm not a cut-sleeve! Are you one of those, too? Why is everyone here cut-sleeves?! Is Agatsuma Zenitsu also a cut-sleeve?!

[soba]

[ toi was just making fun of him but ]

What the hell is a cut-sleeve?

[goldpeony]

A man who likes other men! Don't you know the story?! About the emperor who cut his sleeve because he didn't want to wake his--partner up when he had to get up in the morning?

[this was hilarious when he couldn't figure out what to call beau, resident lesbian]

1/2

[soba]

Oh.

[ hmmm ]

[soba]

Jin Ling, I didn't know you were homophobic.

[goldpeony]

....What?
