[ That trace of melancholy in Kurogane's expression right after the mention of a family heirloom... there's obviously a story there. It's one Lockon's curious about and given the lead in... he's not so sure he wouldn't relate.

But there's just something special about this one, hm? Is it here with you?
I gave that to that Time Witch for the right to travel to other worlds. Payment doesn't come cheap with that bitch. . .
[Yes, despite his worlds, there's something lacking in it all. The anger to be expected from such a demand. As begrudgingly as he had handed it over, Kurogane knew he would have done it again. . .and couldn't quite regret it in the face of all that's happened since.]
But, it's a choice I made, and a lot has come of it.
Ah... Sakura had told me about her. I knew there was payment involved, just not how steep it tended to be.
[ Though it seems like it was well worth it. Not just from Kurogane's last statement--Lockon's seen grousing like that with no real heat or ill will backing it. He's even used it himself, now and then.
As a result, his next statement is accompanied with a lopsided, knowing smile. ]
It sounds like you have no regrets. Must have been quite a journey.

[It's not something he could argue with really, though it still pissed him off at times.
Kurogane exhales, offering a faint smile in return. One heavy with knowing, but as the point had been made, not with regret.]
I've managed to accomplish some things on it. Besides, who knows what sort of trouble that mage would have gotten into. . .

Spent a good part of the journey watching his back, then?
because this convo doesn't sound gay at all now
