Mm... it's a rather old story... I wonder if I remember it...?
[he tilts his head]
I believe we were forged from the same metal - but from different smiths. Even so, we were both praised as the treasures of the Minamoto clan for centuries.

It sounds like you remember it alright...
[She tilts her head, though.]
That's interesting. So you belonged to the same people, and that's why?

Something like that... I don't know much about family, to be truthful. I only know that he is the most familiar at my side.

Sounds like a pretty big feat, for you.

Ahaha, maybe it is.
[he accepts the tease easily enough]
It is nice to have a constant, even in a very long life.

Sounds like he's important to you... I'm glad you have him here.

Mm... I am, too.
[he'll admit that easily - but also there seems to be something troubled on his face]
... I just wish I knew how to protect him better.

...Protect him from what?

[ . . . higekiri pauses before letting a hand come to rest over his heart]
Whatever makes him look so... downfallen. As if he's received an injury, but his body doesn't need repairs.

[She looks sympathetic, but:]
As nice as that would be, I don't think that's the kind of hurt anyone can just take away.
[...]
But you can help by being there for him.

[ . . . he just manages a soft hum at that]
Mm, I suppose so...
A comforting presence - is it?

... I can hope so, but I wonder if it's enough.
[ . . . regardless he shakes his head]
But I do not mean to burden you with my own troubles. It is a bit selfish, isn't it? I am something meant to offer protection, after all.

Hey... You're not

Ah - someone... Right.
[it's hard to say if he'll remember, because he doesn't quite agree]
Even so, my role is that to serve others.

It's good if that makes you happy, but... You can look out for yourself sometimes, too, you know?

[She gives a small laugh, but there's not too much humor in it.]
You don't need to sound so hesitant, you know.
