( Arms crossed and hands tucked into his sleeve, Tsurumaru smiles casually as he speaks. )

I'm looking for someone with experience repairing swords. 

( Yes, it's important to get right to the point. No one has time for long winded introductions and explanations! But he supposes an explanation is still needed here so he sighs, running a hand through his hair, pushing back his bangs and scowling just a little, )

I visited a local smith and they were too rough. It felt more like a punishment than care… ( Really! It makes him shudder just thinking about it and he touches a thin scratch on his cheek, ) Eugh. My face still hurts…

( If the smith was going to handle his true form like that, they might as well have just slapped this human body across the face. )

It's a delicate blade and this is a… ( Hm, he doesn't want to have to explain everything right from the get go so he tries to find the right word, ) personal request.

[ And she’s the idiot taking him at face value. ]

Oh uh… being a sword I guess? Sorry if it’s a weird question.

[cranelike]

( Flippantly, )

I go where I'm taken and I do as I'm commanded.

( What a boring question! Except not really but you must be at least level 5 to unlock the full backstory. )

Before, I used to kill men and listen to prayers but I don't do that anymore. ( Because life is boring. ) Now I travel the country.

( And time. But that part also needs to be unlocked. )

im so sorry

[ Oh worm. ]

Oh… that’s a lot dude.

[ Logically, she knows swords kill people. Hearing it though is… wild. Especially since he looks human right now.

She really just isn’t sure what to think in general. It’s not like he can just… stop being himself. Could he? Did spirits of objects have a choice? Or are they always meant to fulfill their purposes? To find joy in doing so?

…

We’re just going to stop thinking about that now! ]

I bet you’ve seen some cool stuff then! While traveling!

[ Better clarify that. ]

[cranelike]

( Is it a lot? Well, he supposes for a human. )

It was mostly boring. ( The same museums and storage rooms, really. But he's not a total kill joy! He'll at least try to give her a better answer, ) There are some interesting things, though. More, now that I have this body.

sorry shes sad sdlakghkl

[primordialerebus]

Yeah I bet.

[ She’s so glad text can’t show like, emotions unless you add them because no matter how much she’s trying to push her previous thoughts out, they keep coming back. Why? Because her own brain hates her.

In short, she kinda doesn’t want to talk anymore, as curious as she is about existing as a sword. ]

But uh… yeah. I gotta go, but thanks. See u around?

(He raises a hand, biding farewell,)

Will we? (He's teasing but he's definitely going to hold this mysterious texter to her promise,) Well then, I'll see you.
