This realm revokes our deaths. I know how foolish that sounds, but please hear me out. Those amongst us who die will be alive and perfectly well within days, as if they never took injury in the first place. It is as though by not belonging to this world we have no place in its afterlife. You might be able to take Ieyasu's life, but you simply won't achieve true vengeance here. I'm sorry.
no subject
Even so, this is not easy to believe.]
That--that cannot be! How can that be? Have you witnessed such a phenomenon for yourself?!
no subject
Not personally. Last month a powerful witch possessed quite a few of us. The possessed turned on their crews, resulting in a rush of deaths. There is plenty of testimony recorded in the journals by those who fell and later returned to life. Enough people experienced it firsthand that the knowledge became widespread.
no subject
[The journals make it easy to verify her statements, and that changes things considerably. As he stands there, trying to figure out what this means for him, he decides to ask another question of her.]
How many times were they each killed and revived? If I kill Ieyasu repeatedly, it may yet stick!
[There an unspoken "don't you agree?" following that. His theory is as baseless as it gets, but he wants to believe in the possibility.]
no subject
[Xun Yu's next answer is less certain than the first.]
I haven't read any accounts of multiple deaths for one person. But...
[She hesitates, her expression reluctant.]
Repeating the same action under the same set of circumstances should yield the same results.
no subject
This is unacceptable! I owe my lord this revenge! If I cannot accomplish even that...
[He shakes his head.]
We must continue on to Ieyasu! I still must try! If I do not even make the effort, how can I claim to be loyal?
no subject
[She turns back, thinking.]
There is further perspective you're missing. Time is inconsequential to the power that brought us here. There's a small chance that you might see your lord again. Perhaps there is also a way that you can save his life.
no subject
His death could be undone? ...I could protect Lord Hideyoshi this time?
[If his lord were to show up in this world tomorrow, alive and well, it would be nothing short of a miracle.]
...Just how small a chance is this? [He feels foolish even as he asks the question.]
no subject
[Empathising with Mitsunari's desire, she says more softly:]
Does the size matter, if it exists?
no subject
...
I do not want to endure hoping for a future that may never be realized. If it never came to be, I could not bear it.
[Despite what he says, the idea has taken root in his head and it won't be easily dismissed.]
no subject
[Xun Yu turns round to fully face Mitsunari.]
The Captain must have invited you aboard for a reason. He wants you here.
We are searching for shards of a gem that is meant to grant wishes, in order to find a way home. Please consider assisting us, Mitsunari. If we decide when we are returned to, then you can save your lord's life. If not you will still return to a place where if you kill Ieyasu, he will stay dead. In the meantime you can learn Ieyasu's fatal weaknesses and never lose sight of him while also watching for sign of your lord in this realm. You won't even have to waste your time on basic survival with food and drink and shelter provided for you.
no subject
There is nothing about Xun Yu's argument that he can properly refute. With both presented scenarios in mind, it seems clear that going along with them and acquiring the gem would work out overwhelmingly in his favor.]
All this requires...is tolerating Ieyasu's continued existence.
[Living in the same vicinity as him, no less. Would it be antithetical to everything he's stood for? A compromise of his principles? Never mind that such an arrangement would drive him up the wall.]
...If it would ultimately benefit my lord...
[It would unquestionably be worth it if it meant avenging--or saving--Hideyoshi. He could never forgive himself if he passed up an opportunity to do either. That, if anything, would make him disloyal.]
no subject
[She raises her arms to chest height, bending them at the elbow; one hand she curls into a fist, upon which she places her other hand, covering it. The gesture is both a salute and a greeting back in her homeland.]
My name is Xun Yu. If you stay... should you find that you need help settling in, please seek me out.
no subject
...I don't need any more time for deliberation. I will undergo this trial for Lord Hideyoshi's sake. He would ask it of me.
[Infuriating and irritating though it may turn out to be, his decision is to stay.]
Xun Yu.
We will speak again.
[Though Ieyasu's crewmate, she's aided him in his revenge and offered him assistance, and for that he can't regard her as an enemy to the Toyotomi. He's had worse people as allies, that's for sure.]
