[well, uruha is not dressed like someone who plans on getting wet.

he's just kind of gazing at the springs with an unreadable, almost distant look.]

... Not exactly.

[midway]

...

Something on your mind?

[kumeyuri]

[...]

Just thinking. Are hot springs something you have back home?

[midway]

Yeah, in certain parts of the country. Why?

[kumeyuri]

Just curious. Some people here are less familiar with them.

[midway]

[ ... ]

Do you like them?

[kumeyuri]

They're nice. I think, as a Japanese person, I'm legally required to like hot springs.

[doesn't look like he plans on getting in this one tho]

[midway]

A point of pride for your country? You must have a discerning eye then.

[kumeyuri]

We've got a lot of them. They're a big part of our culture.

[midway]

This place isn't making you make home, is it?

[kumeyuri]

[raises an eyebrow]

We've only been dead for about a day. A bit early to be homesick, I think.

[midway]

I don't know. You could be the emotional type.

[kumeyuri]

Are you?

[midway]

Yeah, I'm a real bleeding heart. [ Smiles! ] Be gentle with me.

[kumeyuri]

[dryly,]

I'll keep your sensitivity in mind. [a beat, and then, less dryly,] ... Do you miss home?

[midway]

[ Huh. That's not something he considered. ]

Not exactly. I regret leaving behind unfinished business, but that's all.

Do you?

[kumeyuri]

... Well, like I said, it's only been a day. And I'm used to things getting upturned at a moment's notice, so I probably adjust more easily than most.

[midway]

Used to a life of battle and action then?

[kumeyuri]

You could say that.

[midway]

What would you say?

[kumeyuri]

Probably something similar.
