real meme coming later ]

[ he looks amused. ]

It's really me. I take it you haven't seen the profile they laid out on me?

[ he straightens to his full height. ]

I am Iwatooshi. [ and, leaning the naginata forward slightly, ] This is also Iwatooshi. This naginata is my true form.

[trashprince]

I saw the profiles but I kept getting asked about my age.

[ so you're lucky if he remembers a single word.

he has to tilt his head back to continue meeting iwatooshi's gaze when he unfurls like that. so big! ]

That's your usual body...?

[naginota]

A few have asked about mine, too.

[ he understands, just in the opposite direction. ]

It is. I was only given this human body a few years ago. It's much different than being made of steel.

[trashprince]

[ truly a pair. weapon and receptacle. oldest(?) and youngest(?). ]

What does that feel like? Does it hurt or feel weird if someone touches your other self?

[ this MIGHT, just might, be caelus asking if touching the naginata is allowed or what ]

[naginota]

When someone touches my weapon? [ glances at it thoughtfully. ] The only ones who have since I was summoned are my current master and our foes. Master's touch is reassuring, and they can use their power to repair both my blade and this body. The enemy...

[ shrugs like that's enough of an answer. ]

I'm not sure how it would feel for anyone else to. It's not something we've tested, as normally only our masters would wield us.

[trashprince]

I've used a bat and a lance.

[ and in the future, a fedora. oh well. sounds like he shouldn't test it even though the existence of a weapon within arm's reach calls to him. this time, giving into impulse would be too invasive. pity. ]

What's your current master like?

[naginota]

You enjoy polearms? [ a pleasant surprise! ] In that case, maybe someday we can try it.

My current master... Hmmm. Their methods are often a mystery to me. They are very intelligent, but don't always explain, so I have trouble understanding why they make certain choices.

[ even so, he smiles. ]

But I know that they care deeply for every one of their touken danshi. The decisions they must make are complicated, but they mean only the best for each of us, and they want to see us all grow stronger. That must be why they challenge us.

[trashprince]

[ yeah, totally forgot what they were doing here with fire. now it's a pleasant convo between companions getting to know one another further.

slight glint in his eyes at the idea of someday trying out Iwatooshi's naginata. nice nice nice nice. ]

Touken danshi.

[ repeated to commit to memory and hear how it sounds when he says it. ]

They sound like a great leader. I hope you're reunited soon.

[naginota]

[ nods in approval! good pronunciation! ]

Thank you. [ and he bows his head for just a moment in gratitude. ] I hope you can return to your Astral Express soon, too.
