You didn't run away from anything, Yasusada-kun. We were taken, and it's not our fault, but we're doing our best to get back aren't we? [There's the slightest trace of doubt behind his words, remembering for how long their masters have stayed here, but hopefully that can slip past Yamato's notice. He's trying to be encouraging here, so he's gonna carry on to something that he does actually understand; while Ryslig is a mystery and a struggle, somewhere like the citadel may not be 'home' so to speak, but it's somewhere that feels more right than this place.]

Kiyomitsu-kun will be fine. He's a very capable sword himself, you know. Plus, Kane-san is there, so I'm sure...

[He trails off because... honestly, he's scared to know how Kanesada is doing without his assistant.]
