Imanotsurugi. [ he nods. ] He is my precious friend, the protective sword of my former master's master.
...Oh, that reminds me. I said I would show you a naginata if I could get mine back? [ iwatooshi shifts to hold his naginata before him, careful not to knock anything over or hit the walls or kate herself. ] Here it is - myself.
But if you want something... [ he looks at kate, appraising. ] At your size, a smaller weapon would be best. A knife - perhaps from the refectory? If not that, a window has already been broken. The shards are sharp enough to be useful, but you'd need to be more careful about how you use it.
There are many styles of fighting, and no one style is better than another. If avoiding the front lines suits you best, then you don't have to push yourself too hard to force something else to work.
[ still! he nods. ]
But we can practice together. You'll have to be patient with me, as a teacher. Imanotsurugi's fighting style is much different than mine, but I'll do my best to help you learn.

I'm glad you were not separated from your weapon for long, then. It must have been difficult.

[ bows his head in gratitude. ]
It was worrisome, but it's fine now that I have it back! It is comforting to have it by my side again.

... Thank you.
[ for saying he would protect her. ]

[ ...oh, soft. he offers her a smile. ]
There's no need to thank me. Protecting others is what this body is good for.

I'd be happy to learn. I think it would be useful.

But first! We'll need get you armed, won't we?
