Should I prepare a suitable feast and romantic music?

[It's spoken with mock seriousness, all part of the game.]

You should be warned that there will be a high chance of food poisoning, however. If the flow ensures you are hit with a potentially fatal dose, it cannot be helped.

[ As he seals the gauze with some tape from the kit, ]

Long as it ain't green beans I'll die happy.

[ The moment he's done, his hand drops and he steps away to a polite distance. No sense overstaying a welcome, especially with a stranger, and one who definitely did look dangerous enough to merit caution. Banter aside, Buck's not that interested in stirring up any hornets' nests. ]

James Barnes. Nice to meet you.

[hakanai]

Ōtani Yoshitsugu.

[Yoshitsugu's gaze remains fixed on his arm for a few seconds as he examines the finished dressing. It alone, and the kit used, have given him clues about this James Barnes.]

Almost certainly from another time and another place.

[This place is full of surprises, and certain bizarre facts have made themselves evident very quickly. Yoshitsugu is better than most at taking the strangest of circumstances in stride, however, accepting much of what has been revealed without questioning it too much.]

[(The arrival was somewhat shocking, but would anyone be completely immune to such a thing?)]

[redactions]

[ Japanese. Not that it matters much to him; the Japs might be enemies by alliance with the Germans but it ain't the same everywhere you go, and it sure ain't that simple. Besides, the War's behind him - or so he wants it to be. ]

Sounds like a story. [ a beat, then, he offers, ] Europe, 1945. That mean anything to you?

[hakanai]

[It takes a few moments for Yoshitsugu to think that through, but eventually it pops into his head. It's been a while since he's interacted with any of the traders who come to Japan to sell their wares, after all... the last time was probably when Hideyoshi was still alive.]

The Western traders refer to their homeland of 'Portugal' as being part of Europe. If you are using the same calendar as they, then...

[A beat, as he works it out, then:]

I come from the year 1600, if I have it right.
