You were a huge help! [He high fives her back with a grin.]
That went really well! [But now that he's thinking about it...]
You know, support is really important. It doesn't matter if you're just strong. [This should seem obvious but he's taking this into serious consideration as he mulls it over.]
Yes, support can make one stronger. I'm glad I got to experience this. Thanks!
[If she did then he would quickly defend himself that he isn't a child which is something he feels like he has to say a lot.]
Well, I have my partner and all. He's definitely my support but it isn't this kind of support. Not to say he doesn't do a lot because he does. Kunihiro is a really dependable type of guy.
Yeah! He's always there fighting with me. Well, when we're back home. If he was here then he would be right by my side, fighting with me. But I never thought that magic and stuff could be real. [Says the personified sword and whose new master is a sage but you know. This is still different.]
I never knew there could be so many different types of people.
It's true. I've met a lot of other swords since my current master called me forth. [Maybe they aren't exactly people in the sense that she means but they are the closest thing he has.]
And I've met a lot of interesting people here, too.
[He sounds more like a Servant the more he mentions things like that, so Hakuno is inclined to treat him just like a person, regardless of the semantics.]
Yeah, whatever brought us here certainly brought all types. Has anybody from your home shown up?
Oh yeah. [He nods.] A friend of mine is from another citadel...I mean, I always knew there were duplicates of us but I never met any of them before. But he's here and I think another one is similar too.

[She sees another smile, another gleeful cry, but she shakes it away.]
You sure are, Izuminokami!
[She can't change the past, but as for here and now—the new person before her—she can offer him what she wishes she could still do back home.]

That was probably the best battle I've had in a while! And I go through a lot. Is magic and stuff all just apart of what you do?

[She kind of wants to ruffle his hair, but restrains herself.]
Do you not usually have support?
no subject
Well, I have my partner and all. He's definitely my support but it isn't this kind of support. Not to say he doesn't do a lot because he does. Kunihiro is a really dependable type of guy.

[Hold on a second. She's wracking her brain; even if she's a history nerd, the only surviving proof of that one is a letter.]
Oh! Hijikata's wakizashi, right? Yes, that would be more of a back-to-back support than magic, wouldn't it?

[You were the magic all along, Izuminokami.]
If there's one thing you can count on, in my experience, is that people will always find a new way to surprise you.]

This place is weird, huh?

[That hits close to home.]
Yeah, weird is a good word for it. But, I'm glad you're not all alone.

[Not very much like Servants, after all. At least in one way.]
But, I'm happy to meet the you in front of me, at least.
