I'm sorry to hear that, M─

[... And then there's an awkward pause. How could he not catch his dear crewmate's name?! Right, he didn't give a single shit about him when he joined.]

─my friend!

[Smooth.]

Isn't it obvious? I'm concerned for your well-being, of course!

[While his smile faded a bit when he heard about Minatsuri's troubles, but his grin widens once again when he answers his question.]

[curseking]

[Cue the world's most skeptical look.]

We barely know one another. You have no reason to care.

[Ragna's never looked this smiley before either. Not in the few times Mitsunari's paid any attention to him.

...You can really feel the camaraderie here, huh.]

[rebellions]

[Truly, the best of friends, right here.]

Of course I do! You are my dear crewmate, are you not?

[In the sudden influx of both joy and (platonic, mind you) feelings for the other man, Ragna walks over to Minatsuri and, well.

Pulls him into a hug.]

[curseking]

--?! Let go! [Mitsunari sounds incredulous. He shoves Ragna back, brandishing the silly-looking magic wand at him.

Maybe he forgot it wasn't his sword.]

Hugging me is not acceptable!

[rebellions]

[It seems that Ragna fails to comprehend the issue Mitsunari might have with his expression of affection, as he continues to grin happily even when the other man pushes him away.

Or maybe it's the magic wand that makes it hard to take him seriously. Hard to tell.]

Don't be silly, Mister! We're friends, right?

[curseking]

...

[Lord Hideyoshi have mercy, he can't deal with this today.]

If you have taken ill, find yourself a doctor! If you have not, begone with you anyway!

[rebellions]

[He's... He's worried about him! Ragna is visibly touched by how much Mitsunari cares about his well-being as he places his hand on the other man's shoulder with a sunny smile.]

How kind of you to concern yourself with my health! I assure you, my friend, I'm better than ever!

[... His mind seems to have glazed over the "begone" part, yes.]

[curseking]

[At first he can only stare in utter bewilderment at Ragna's reaction. Then, he whacks Ragna's hand with the magic wand.]

Unhand me!

[The feathery rainbow material hidden inside the wand pops out as a result, which he...tries to ignore for the sake of his dignity.

He goes on to address Ragna with remarkable calm, like he thinks the guy is really, really dense and needs this spelled out for him.]

Listen closely: I do not care about you.

[A pause. Did it sink in?]

I want you to get out of my sight. That was my point!
