[That makes Yasusada laugh, but not unkindly.]

We know you can't see us, when we're spirits. It doesn't have to be strange. [Most swords without corporeal forms aren't going to expect their masters to sit around and chat to thin air?? Unless you belong to someone super spiritual who can sense you anyway, but that's not the case here, so.] Isn't a sword just another part of their master's soul?

[says Yamatonokami "hardcore Okita kin" Yasusada but listen]

If there's anything to remember, it's that we die if we break. So be careful with him, okay?
