very comfortable holding this, actually, gloved hand settling into the appropriate grip to hold the weapon. ]
Guess that makes sense. Is there anything weird about being a sword and not being swords at the same time in this situation? That you're not already used to, I guess.
Knowing that every decision I make while holding a blade may impact it. If I am a little too rough, the blade may break in half, and I will sit in the knowledge that this sword's life has ended. If I have a sword and decide to put it on display instead of using it to save another's life, that sword will forever be imprinted with the idea that it never served its purpose of existence.

You're right, though. None of these constellations [ a vague half gesture at themselves ] are familiar to me, but I definitely know what a constellation is.

however, tsuru is not left waiting long. a whorl of shadows congeals at the front of the dojo, and out steps aquila, brushing themselves off. ]
Tsurumaru. You're gonna practically live here, huh?

no subject

But it's more comfortable to have it in hand than not.

and then, eventually. ] So, swords, meant to be used. Got it. Does it work like that with these kinds of things to?
[ they gives the practice sword a little wave. ] Wasn't expecting to come down here and talk philosophy with you, crane man, but I can't complain.

[ there's a nod though. ]
How you treat a practice sword shows how you would treat one made of steel. A blade's a blade.

... and after a moment, reach out and pat the practice sword on the flat side of the blade. good...sword entity. ]
Do our practice ones have names?

What do you think when you hold it?

In general? [ hmmm... ] That it's been a while since I've held one. That's probably not what you're asking, huh?
