[ Blade likes fruits. Huh. Fun fact of the hour. But she'll leave that for another time. ]
Well...it's definitely related.
[ There's a pause here as she figures out how to word it. This should be fine to say considering that meeting—it's just that this sounds pretty weird even in context. ]
So, uh, keeping that in mind...can that umbrella, like, write?
[ Welcome to a brand new wuxia story wherein there are talking implements and such...which, well, there are. Blade has heard of talking weaponry before, funnily enough.
Nevermind the umbrella where the sword spirit talked through. ]
"...I haven't given up. I'm working on a solution."
[ Pause. ]
Not sure what else to say. I'm not good at this...passing along words.
[ Looking at the wagasa as she says that and then back at Clover once more. ]
That is his name.
[ He will certainly confirm that, at least. He's sure her words were heard nonetheless even if there's nothing said at this time. He'll simply acknowledge her thanks within his following set of words, next. ]
Maybe it is enough...
...but, otherwise, noted. No sense of doing anything else but continuing from this point. And, listening for more information to come along.
[ More progress helps with morale, and solutions, after all. So, while he won't think the word 'hope', that will apply the same for him - that progress could find them all. ]

week 3, wednesday
Blade manages to come across a certain red head in the solarium, a wagasa with him all the while. ]
Clover.
[ A way to acknowledge her presence, if anything. ]
no subject
Ah. [ It doesn't take long for her to recover. ] Hey, Blade. Thinking of getting some fruits too?
[ While she doesn't put the knife away, she does place it her lap before making eye contact. ]
no subject
...I was.
Maybe one or two.
[ Though, there's a considering moment too. ]
Are you thinking of our situation or something else? You seemed in thought.
no subject
Well...it's definitely related.
[ There's a pause here as she figures out how to word it. This should be fine to say considering that meeting—it's just that this sounds pretty weird even in context. ]

no subject
As for Clover asking questions about the umbrella, Blade doesn't mind answering them. ]
The sword spirit communicating through the umbrella didn't say so. Which brings doubt that he could manage it with the umbrella.
...but, one way to find out would to be able to ask, to make sure. I'll do it when I get the chance.
[ Apparently he is taking this seriously like he does with most things. ]
no subject
[ She picks up the knife with both hands before placing it on the nearby table. ]
It hasn't tried to do anything else since that one time though.
no subject
[ Glancing on over at the knife, now. ]
Maybe it will some other time.
When the moment is right.
[ That sounds so incredibly cliche, but it is literally the only kind of phrasing that he can think of which will suit it. ]
...Or if you try to talk to the knife once more. At some pother point.
no subject
Hey, is there anything you wanted to say? He already knows.
[ It's...probably not going to respond even if time passes. ]
no subject
Nevermind the umbrella where the sword spirit talked through. ]
"...I haven't given up. I'm working on a solution."
[ Pause. ]
Not sure what else to say. I'm not good at this...passing along words.
no subject
[ Anyway, she turns to make eye contact with Blade. ]
Actually, I think just saying it is totally enough? So thank you too for being the messenger, Blade. This is all good to know.
[ Here's hoping they all make more progress soon... It feels like they've been banging against solid walls for a while now. ]

Right! If I hear anything else, I'll find ways to pass it along.
[ And by ways, she probably means the dragons. ]
