[When Ishikirimaru enters the armory, he'll find that Cunning is waiting there. This time he has a different sword with him and he seems more comfortable with that one. A bronze, evenly balanced blade cuts through the air.]
You're probably the only person who bothered to show up. [Sup.]
You could say that, yeah. [There's a thoughtful hint to his tone.] It's the blade I've used for years even before the ascension. I'm kind of surprised it followed me here since it was a gift, but I can't complain too much. It's been useful.
If it is one with some attachment, and of an appropriate age-- then perhaps it has a spirit of its own, as well? We cannot do much on our own, as weapons, but those of us who had masters would certainly follow if we were able.
[There's a hum, before he smiles.]
In either case, it is a respectable blade. I would like to see how you wield it.
[Cunning looks at his blade then.] I never thought about this one having a spirit of its own. It was melted down from something else and created, but that probably wouldn't change...would it?
[What if he killed a sword spirit on accident? Oops.]
This is a blade I wouldn't use on most people, but I think you might be a good challenge for it.
We generally are altered by such things, yes, but- it does not always mean the loss of our memories, and we do not disappear unless we're destroyed. If it had a spirit prior to reforging, it would simply take a new shape.

But he draws his own blade, there, and this time he takes a more aggressive stance, prepared for offense rather than defending against Cunning to start with.]
[What if he just stares at his sword again???] I'm almost afraid to ask it if it has any kind of spirit, so I'll probably let it stay quiet for now. No offense.
[Back in the ring, he's quick to take up a defensive start to match.] I'm ready when you are. Give it your best shot.

[He sort of had the feeling that might be the case, but beyond that, he knows this sort of thing can be more helpful than expected.
Ishikirimaru eyes that blade curiously before he asks-]
Is this one your favored weapon?

Let's see how strong it truly is, then.
