Lorina-senpai looks at you with a rather cute yet dumb expression, clearly not understanding the true meaning of your words “That’s not supposed to happen?” She doesn’t sound entirely sure of herself.
“What does it say?” Asher-kun says a bit more seriously.
“The whole evil sentient sword shtick. ‘You don’t need them, I can give you more power, kill feed me kill!’ Well, not really the last one but it’ll probably get there eventually,” You say.
<span class="mu-i">”I do not sound like that-”</span> You give it another thwack.
“Can I see it?” Asher-kun says and causing you to hand him the sword for all of a second before a static charge zaps him, “Shit!” Causing him to drop the sword to the ground before it dispels itself.
<span class="mu-i">”Do not hand me to that man! I will not be summoned only to-”</span> You can feel the sword trying to resist being brought back, but you control it, not the other way around so in a second it’s back in your grasp. <span class="mu-i">”W-what do you think you’re doing?!”</span>
“Hold on, I’ll get a cloth to hold it with,” Asher-kun says before turning to the door and biting his lip as two workers are blocking the door with a mattress they thankfully don’t pay attention to your conversation. You don’t envy having to do hard labor in this heat. “One second,” Asher-kun mumbles.
<span class="mu-i">”Ask what he intends to do with me, now!”</span>
“The sword wants to know what you’re going to do with it.”
“Oh, probably bring it to the Abbey to get this issue solved.”
“And how are they going to fix my sword?”
“Torture it, probably,” Asher-kun says like he was commenting on the weather.
“How do you torture a sword?” Lorina-senpai asks, a bit perturbed, probably because it’s a weapon and not the torture part, “Make it dull?”
“That’s someone else's job not mine,” Asher-kun shrugs.
<span class="mu-i">”Do not let him take me! Please! I’ll be good, I swear!”</span>
“The sword is begging for its life,” You inform the two.
“Do you think we can trust it?” Asher-kun says causing you to bring it up and look at yourself in your reflection.
<span class="mu-i">”Yes, you can! I’d never do anything that would bring you or your comrades harm!”</span>
But not even five minutes ago you- <span class="mu-i">”That was before I saw what your comrade's friends are capable of inside his mind! I’ll be good, I swear!” Hm? What exactly is the Inquisition capable of? You mentally question both the sword and yourself. The radiant blade doesn’t respond but you get the mental image that it’s sweating, somehow.
You shrug, “Probably not but I’ll be careful?” You say, not entirely sure how you feel about this whole thing.
“Just so long as I don’t get my throat slit in the middle of the night- Did that doll just move?”</span>
