It seems we're all stuck here together like one big happy family, aren't we? Since that's the case... how about we play a little game to get to know each other?

What is most important to you in your entire life? What would you be willing to do anything for? And I do mean anything~

And please, nothing like 'friendship' or 'world peace.' Really dig down deep; we should all be honest with each other, don't you think? ❤

[feel free to answer the question or not, Joshua seems to just be very bored. what a chatty nerd!]

I've passed through plenty of hands and learned to adapt. This is just more of the same, if... somewhat different in concept...

[It's fine, he's taking it as encouragement anyway, tbh.]

Still, I can't do anything that would reflect badly on my brother if he arrives here later, so I'll do my best to adjust quickly.

Don't you worry about that. You're learning how to be yourself in a new way, after all-- and learning to be human is quite a task, if I do say so myself.

I wouldn't want you to hold yourself back just because of what someone else might think of you. If they'd hold it against your, their opinion's probably not very valuable anyway.

I would call it less worrying about what anyone might think, and more upholding our honor as treasured swords.

[it's absolutely both.]

But do you mean you have experience with that? Learning to be human, that is.

[He's not positive he needs to be more human himself-- he's still a weapon in spirit, isn't he?-- but that phrasing has him curious.]

Hm, maybe it's more like... the reverse?

I was born a human, but I've spent most of my life in a different sort of position, watching other humans come and go. Observing the way their nature develops. The human condition is quite a conundrum, even for people who've been watching for years.

Although I suppose now I'm stuck to being human again.

Your experience isn't completely different from ours, then, though you at least knew what it was like before...

Perhaps that gives you something of an advantage in understanding, and in adjusting to the situation- though humans have always been adaptable.

I do, but I have to say my experience being human wasn't exactly... exciting?

An advantage sure, but it also makes it quite tedious. I'm much more interested in seeing how someone like you deals with this new potential.
