[It is certainly a thing that is difficult to deal with despite how carelessly Kamui brings it up. At least he doesn't seem to mind this line of questioning. He's always been happy to talk about the Yato Clan.]
Hmmm? Did you think I was from Earth? No way! The Yato Clan are born a lot stronger than humans; our senses are better too. There's really no comparison.
After all, most humans run away the moment they recognize us.
[It's the ones who don't that Kamui has taken a liking to: the infamous samurai.]
Oh, our home planet is long dead. I'm not from anywhere.
[Recounting his time on planet Rakuyou... It's pointless now, a history he never had the power to change. Dwelling on his origins will just cause him to hesitate on his quest forward.]
That's a stupid thing to apologize for. Hearing something. [He sneers, a nasty little smile meant to mock Minato for bothering to apologize over anything at all.] Space ships are fine with me as long as they have a destination. I'll hitch a ride on any ship that'll take me to my next battlefield.
[Minato says that immediately, shaking his head. He can't even kill people who are his worst enemies. There's no way he'd ever been able to kill someone he knows and likes.]
But... I don't want to try to kill you. So does it really matter...?

When Minato returns, there will be a healthy stack of bones waiting for him near the fire. They're still fresh, and that's no good for fertilizer.]
Cook 'em til they're dry. Then we can crush them.
[Guess what Kamui's favorite part is.]
no subject
Time for some...bone cooking?]
Huh... I didn't know any of this. I guess it really is a way to use all of the werewolf, instead of wasting it...
[(It's gross though.)]
no subject
[He hums under his breath as he remembers... well, something fondly.]
Housen may have been weak willed, but he did like being efficient.
no subject
Hm.
There's a lot to process there, but he's going to go with asking about the less alarming statement, first.]
"Yato"...? Is that what you are? [He's not human...?]
no subject
Hmmm? Did you think I was from Earth? No way! The Yato Clan are born a lot stronger than humans; our senses are better too. There's really no comparison.

[It's the ones who don't that Kamui has taken a liking to: the infamous samurai.]
no subject
I see... [Huh.] I really had no idea. [Though he could've probably picked up that Kamui wasn't normal by how easily he picked up that werewolf.]
So if you're not from Earth, where are you from?
no subject
[Recounting his time on planet Rakuyou... It's pointless now, a history he never had the power to change. Dwelling on his origins will just cause him to hesitate on his quest forward.]
I lived most of my life on space ships, you know.
no subject
I... am sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine what it would be like to live most of your life on a space ship.
[It sounds kind of... lonely, though?]
no subject
no subject
Huh... is that right?
[What a lifestyle.]
But... do you have a home, then?
no subject
[He's not the least bit bothered by that either.]
All I have is what's in front of me.
no subject
You really are okay with that, huh...? Sorry, it's just so alien for me to think about.
no subject
[So of course it's alien. He snorts as he eyes the cooking bones.]
It's definitely mutual. The way you humans value your weaknesses like they're some kind of trophy... I still can't understand it.
no subject
[He's trying to follow, but still... this is a lot, Kamui!
(Kamui in general is kind of A Lot.)]
no subject
no subject
[He doesn't really agree, of course, but he's more trying to figure out where Kamui's coming from right now than anything.]
Why would you say that?
no subject
[And then, as casually as ever:]
But do you have it in you to kill someone you've become attached to?
no subject
[Minato says that immediately, shaking his head. He can't even kill people who are his worst enemies. There's no way he'd ever been able to kill someone he knows and likes.]
But... I don't want to try to kill you. So does it really matter...?
