Mm, I don't think so, either. [A beat, and then:] ...It's - not really fair, but... I'm gonna leave 9S to others.
[He feels bad to be showing obvious favoritism, but also, that's his wholeass dead sword comrade, so he feels it's probably okay even if he's still a little guilty-feeling over it.]
He was your comrade. No one could possibly hold that against you.
[after all, it's not like he'll be saying "no one can work on 9s's murder until we solve buzen's!" he's just putting his focus where he knows he'll be most effective.]
[He still feels guilty, mostly because of the last conversation he had with 9S, but - it feels a little less unpleasant, hearing something like that. He reaches up, gently touching the back of her hand before nodding.]
Thanks. I wanna find out what happened to both of 'em, so - I'll be working as hard as I can tomorrow.
As for that, though he hesitates, it's only for a very brief moment:]
...If - you can, could you? [He feels a little badly, with the burden falling on her so often. All the same, he trusts her, and trusts her medical knowledge.] I trust you with him, and you know more about human bodies than I do. I wanna go out scouting with some of the groups anyway, so I dunno if I'd be around. --D'you mind if I stay close if I am, though?
[He'll stay out of her way, of course. He just wants to be near.]
Of course. If my skills can be of help in any way - so much the better. [so, she will! ...unless someone who hasn't gotten to investigate anything wants to do it i don't want to hog body invests oocly but icly she would go for it.] And I'd be glad to have you stay close while I work.
Thanks, Jiuqing. Seriously. [He'll take anything that can provide comfort right now, honestly. Though, after a brief beat:] --Um. There's one more thing, too, if you don't mind...
Clarte mentioned you were talking about organization and all that, and you seem like a really smart person, so... Um - I'm letting you know that I have a thing that shows if blood was on something, even if it gets washed off. So can you keep an eye out for stuff it might be helpful to use on?
[He's enlisting braincells... since he has no faith in his own...]
...weapons, perhaps, if we find any that fit any wounds that there may be - although if they belong to someone who was in one of those adventures people got pulled away on, or if it's a weapon they've had to use before coming here, that may skew the results...
[she taps her chin, thinking.]
If you feel comfortable with it, Sir Chang is also a doctor and is more well-versed in combat than I am; he may be able to help identify something to use it on as well... if you wanted to talk to him about it.

Kashuu also vibes with this, honestly.]

I want that, as well... and I'll do all I can to be of assistance. I'm at your disposal, Kashuu.

[Communal sword boy we... Briefly, he wonders how Buzen would feel, to see the people he'd managed to touch in just a few weeks here.]

...if I may ask... do you intend to examine him tomorrow, as he is your comrade? Or would you you like for me to do it, since he's in a human form...?
