Tonbokiri had been aware when the two men approached him, and could hear their conversation. So he does not know why 'peeling' and 'his spear' had set Keigo-dono to laughing so hard, but at the sound Tonbokiri feels more able to breathe than he has in what feels like a long time.
(Hopefully Keigo will not think he's losing it for sure when he sees the log start to look distinctly more human-like.)
Cautiously, still stiff from both the lingering magic and from not moving for so long, Tonbokiri opens his eyes and tries to move his fingers. He can tell, he is slowly returning to being flesh again...
Which brings the memory rushing back: when the tree creatures had captured him, he had been sleeping naked. ... ... Honestly, the fact that he was captured at all is more embarrassing than being found like this. (A little.) But fortunately it is two men who have come.
He would apologize at least, but it will be a little longer until he can move and speak.
