Her brows furrowed at the laugh as she watched his expression. That certainly was interesting. It was good they can come back despite years in between and that was interesting in itself. “How many times have you died? It surely mustn’t be so.. Pleasant.” To be conscious like that but have no way of doing anything about it, trapped. A small shudder ran down her smile frame, and fingers clutched lightly at the fabric of his top.

“ Personally I haven’t. “ Mikazuki’s brow narrowed as he quickly recalled a few occasions in the past. The ends of the bandana were pulled so it was still tight and wouldn’t fall over his face as he continued to talk. A few times that had happened and each one he remained embarrassed. “ My siblings have died on close quarters missions. I’ve also lost my friend once who forgot about me and my spousal sword once before. “

“Are you conscious in that form?” She further questioned, adjusting her position ever so slightly within his lap. “What happens if the sword gets cracked?”

“ Yes back then I could see and hear everyone as the stared at me. Rather unnerving since I was aware of everything around me. “ He looked off at the sky with a laugh. “ When our swords are cracked or broken then in our human forms we die. Aruji would have to materialise us again which may take years. “

“If that changes, I can always move.” Last she wanted was to cause anyone discomfort, especially if they were her seat for the day. Sothis looked up at Mikazuki. He was pretty. Almost pretty enough to warrant jealousy. “If you are a sword, do you have the sword itself around somewhere like with me, or are you able to change forms?” That was something she still was unsure of.

“ Ah there is a physical sword for each of us within this citadel. Though they remain within our rooms unless we are sent to fight. “ Mikazuki was unsure if any could change between forms except from a few occasions he had in the past. “ However years ago there was a money shortage so I was forced to return into my sword form to be put on display. “

Question their life choices, make them rethink their biases and behaviors, etc.

The girl leaned against him then. She knew she wasn’t too heavy, but he did say he was old, right? “I enjoy sitting on your lap, but if I am too heavy for you.. I could move.”

“ Ah no everything is good. I may be old but not entirely fragile. They way I am seated shouldn’t cause any pain. “ He had no clue who he was attempting to lie to. Not himself surely.

“ Guess it would not yet I doubt even a Tenka goken like me could get you to change your mind. However if he does find out and threatens you, you had a warning. “ Mikazuki slightly adjusted the way he was sitting just so his ‘ old bones ‘ wouldn’t ache.

Try to start a fight between them and another muse, try to dissuade them from doing something important, talk them into something dangerous. Have fun!
