The young lord knew that he hear the voice of his partner in the middle of the night and for the entire next morning that was all he could think about. He had come the realization that his family was more than likely okay and safe based on the impression Jacob gave. And he knew that Shinsou would be meeting him soon to begin their training. But the only thing he cared about in right now was reconnecting with his best friend and partner.

As he sat nestled in the back corner of the Silver Cup sipping on his drink he focused hard on the connection they shared. Since birth Hayate had always been able to talk to Yamato so this couldn’t have been a permanent thing. But how could he fix the problem? Hayate had already gotten the sword returned to form by bringing it to Mitch. On the surface his sword looked perfect, but within there must still be issues.

What happened when I passed out? He thought to himself remembering he collapsed during his last fight. Hiruzen had ripped off his arm and then the rest was a mystery to the young lord. How did he get to the Lolitche’s farm in the first place? Did the Corpse King take him all that way? These questions and more raced through Hayate’s head as he waited the day away.

Finally after hours of mindlessly doing what he could to keep himself going his waiting had payed off. Jacob hollered of him to come over to the bar for a moment and informed the young lord that Shinsou had just made it back to his place not far from the Silver Cup. Hayate was overjoyed to hear the good news and took his leave of the tavern quickly thereafter. This was his chance to ask all the questions he could. He would be able to hear of the well being of his brothers and sisters as well as see if his new Lord knew why he couldn’t communicate with his partner anymore.

After leaving a nice stack of coins on the bar Hayate was happily on his way to see the man who changed his life.

Soon Yamato, He tried to say to his partner weather or not he could hear him. We will be together again.
