[Monster slime. He pulls a face because yeah, that does sound awful, having that feeling linger.]
We were underwater in these special suits at one point. Felt like I was trapped in a sauna.
[This is actually pretty comfortable, cleaning swords. He got enough practice working on his spear that it might not be second nature yet, but it's definitely relaxing in a strange way. Cleaning the sword up still takes him a while, and it's for sure not a professional job, but it's at least clean. Plus, it feels good spending some time working with his hands in a non-violent way for the first time in, oh, y'know, a month.
He definitely enjoyed himself at points (sometimes too much maybe) but even Toshi needs a break sometimes!!!]
["Even Toshi needs a break" is how you can tell the city's really gone too hard...
But this is pretty soothing for him too, in that infuriatingly vaguely familiar way that he's just come to accept will be in his life into the foreseeable future now. It's a good thing Toshi's keeping up a conversation because chances aren't too shabby that he'd just doze off otherwise...]
Ew, I can only imagine... We had to go underwater too once, but we just grew gills.
[Toshi pauses for a second and shudders with a sense of vague horror.]
Jeez...I wasn't happy about the suits but I'll take those over gills anytime....
[Gills. Gross. He's gonna shake his head and get back to it. Nearly done, Kashuu. The sword is much cleaner now than when he started. He'll just finish up with a very light coat of oil, like the video tutorials told him aaaaand....]
It's definitely not a pro job, but I don't think you'll have to worry about it rusting anytime soon.
[He did his best, buddy! At the very least, that should keep the sword in pretty okay condition for a while. Toshi returns it carefully to its sheath and offers it back up with a laugh.]
You look like you're about to fall asleep. Guess I did okay.
[More importantly, he didn't crack anything because if Kashuu can feel it he figures that would be Very Bad.]
[In the weirdest way but you know what, he tries hard not to question these weirdass parts of his life as much anymore. Doing so only brought him headaches before... Headaches and existential crises.
He'll reach out to take it back, though, looking about as grateful as he feels. This is the cleanest he's been in wEEKS... And curiously, Toshi may notice that the lighter scratches on his human body have up and vanished in the time it took him to do his cleaning.]
Thanks again, though. I wish there was something I could do for you, but I think all you can really do for bruising is ice it...

All done. Feel better now?

[And Kashuu had been glad he wasn't wearing any scarves or necklaces at the time...
That said, after Toshi's finished with his work, Kashuu sighs in that "trying to keep myself awake even though I'm on the verge of a nap" way.]
Mmhm. Way better - you're seriously a lifesaver, y'know? I owe you one.
[He didn't pay attention to the process as closely as he should have, though?! The struggles when you're a sword dealing with #littleswordthings]
