Musashi keeps the smirk on her face after finishing, and watching Lucy stare at her. When the other woman breaks out laughing, her own composure breaks too and she joins in. It is a ridiculous story she knows, and Lucy clearly doesn't believe a word of it, but that's okay. She's not running away or excusing herself or telling to Musashi to get lost, so she seems to have accepted that her fellow Otherworlder is just kind of weird.
"Only a little fried! Promise!" She swears, holding up a hand. "Samurai's honour." It's just the Madness Enhancement, really. She is a Berserker, after all. "Makes me more charming, ne?"
She lets herself be led by the hand, swinging it a little as they go, working their way through the crowd towards the bar. Oh, she likes how Lucy thinks. So much more variety here than what she's used to! She leans her back against the bar's edge, confident and sure, like she's a real regular here. "Mmmm...dunno, actually." She replies, mulling over the question. "Feels a little different this time. I was one with the universe before I showed up here, though." Maybe if she's already achieved enlightenment and come back from that this world has an easier time holding her? "I might actually have to stick around this time." Though she doesn't sound the least bit bothered by that. She wanted enlightenment, and she had it, though she finds it difficult to remember or put into words what that felt like. She probably can't. It was peaceful, she knows that much at least.
"Ah, but that's fine enough. On the sea of the multiverse, I've been adrift on a raft, at the mercy of the currents taking me where they will. I didn't mind that one bit, but...it might be nice to have a safe harbour for a change. To finally drop anchor and all that. Put down roots." She's staring out over the crowd with a sort of thoughtful, wistful expression, though her smile remains. It seems she's rarely not smiling or grinning or smirking in some form.
"I accomplished what I wanted to do out there anyway, and I'm proud of that." She looks back over at Lucy and grins again. It's kind of relaxing to be able to say all this to someone she knows doesn't believe her but is willing to let her say it anyway, who wants to hear more even if it's just because of how unbelievable it all sounds.
"Time a new beginning then, ne? What are we drinking?" Now there's a good place to start!
