[ 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. ]

[ 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.

Hey, is there anything you wanted to say? He already knows.
[ It's...probably not going to respond even if time passes. ]

[ 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. ]
