Masamune furrows his brow as he listens and, of course, he catches that refusal to address him as a dragon. It makes his fingers twitch terribly, and they itch like they haven't in some time for the swords that are currently not at his disposal. It's amazing how easily one personal can twist an entire mindset to the other side. Whereas he came here mostly not even thinking on whether or not he had his six, now all be can think is how they aren't there and his hands feel bare without them.
Shit.
There is a slight stiffening at the older man's observation and immediately one hand comes to curl around the six coins almost defensively. That wasn't for Matsunaga to notice. That wasn't for anyone to notice.
( He's already getting taken in circles by this conversation alone; he never intended to have it and yet somehow the other has dragged him in anyway, and, thus, he feels a need to counter in any way possible. )
"Then it's a good thing they aren't screwing with our timelines." He's fine with this one; even with all the shit that didn't go right and the losses suffered, he doesn't like thinking on the possibility of his fundamental world changing. It's absolutely true that they all became as they did due to Nobunaga.
In fact, Matsunaga's observations are sound—It's just the fact it's Matsunaga saying it that makes it difficult to stomach.
"Some of that is just horse shit," he sneers-- in particularly, about the potential in a timeline that he could have become what Nobunaga did. "Besides, these timelines we go to seem more screwed regardless than having any hopes whether we interfere or not."
What is Masamune engaging in this topic for, suddenly? He doesn't know, but it all stems from a constant feeling of being defensive of their own timeline; that Matsunaga would bring it up so casually and how it could well fall apart to people like this.
