[ Somewhere they probably are crossing again, this time Joonghyuk is dressed in his usual outfit and his sword hanging off his hip. He still remember the Betrayal, but he can put that aside for now. ]
You're an actual sword.
[ He thought it was just a choice of naming soldiers. ]
(Considering how many interesting people there are in this place. And with a profile as interesting as his, too!
Tilting his head to one side,)
Should I? (Of course, he understands where he's coming from. Spirits are strange and unfamiliar. It's why so many hide their identities in stories. Who knows how a person react?) It makes no difference to me if people know or not.
You're familiar with me, aren't you? I was named after the crane. The crane is a generous spirit; it's said that the crane is a symbol of long life, good health, love, and good luck to others.
I am Tsurumaru Kuninaga. Forged in the Heian era and passed down from owner to owner through the years. I'm quite renowned. But I can't forgive graverobbing or stealing from shrines out of desire for me.
(He recites it like he's said this before. And he has! He said something similar to it earlier at the beach.)
(Usually cool and calm, this is the second time Joonghyuk has said something sensitive to him and it shows. There's a shift from cool to cold and his posture goes from relaxed to a little more on edge,)
I was surprised.
(He's digging his heels into the ground metaphorically. It's clear he doesn't want to talk about it.)

He's changed into his regular clothes sans armor for now. Kiku shifts from magpie to crane before... hiccuping?? and turning into an otter. Hm.)
Are you surprised?
no subject
[ He really has, to be honest. ]
You don't seem to be protective of your true identity.

I'd rather protect other things.

[ What is there in this place? ]

How do you use your sword?
no subject
[ Yes. ]
no subject
Of course, you do.
(He isn't surprised and he sighs,)

[ Either way. ]
A sword's desires are different from its wielder's.

(He sings lightly, like he's not completely sure,)
Hmmm, I'm not sure.

Let me guess... You're thinking, "Tsurumaru Kuninaga, you have a human form. Therefore, you're a "person.""
no subject
[ He isn’t saying human. ]

(He recites it like he's said this before. And he has! He said something similar to it earlier at the beach.)
... Nor can I forgive being mistreated.
(A VERY POINTED GLANCE AT JOONGHYUK THERE.)
This is what I am.
no subject
[ Nope. Don’t remember mistreating or anything. ]
no subject
(At least once! Maybe twice.)
It's always been one surprise after the other~

no subject
[ Weird enough, he’s intuitive and perceptive, so he can tell when when someone doesn’t want to talk. ]
You can also run now.

(The magpie, which has been curiously quiet and tucked behind the hood of his robe chirps.)
It was certainly better than being tossed around. Maybe if you're kind, I'll surprise you with it later.
(CATCH HIM AT TRIAL........ with Hachimaru.)
