Because I know a couple! They used to be just swords in their other lives, see, but then they were given human bodies. One of 'em told me how happy he felt as a sword when he was with his master.
[ He picks up his katana and pounds the butt of its sheath on the counter. ]
Cool, huh?! It means I have to take care of this guy as much as he takes care of me!
[ he says as if he at all understands touken ranbu ]
But they wield themselves, so I'd need a new sword, I guess. It sounded like their masters kicked the bucket way before they were given bodies, so they didn't have to think about this stuff. If things go the way they did in my memories, I'm gonna be around a lot longer than your average guy.
Oh, right. Sounds quiet outside... It's now or never.
[ He stows the first-aid kit under the counter. The shrinekeepers probably won't assume that a local god was in an emergency situation and that breaking the lock was Perfectly Justified and divinely ordained, but maybe seeing that the first aid kit is the only thing out of place will... help...
Anyway, bye Seven Gods of Fortune. Yato takes his sword back up and sticks his head outside to make sure there's nothing prowling around. ]
[ She'll collect her things and, after thinking about it, put her book away. Even with a little rest, she's probably not up to snuff, and she'd rather not strain herself or Thanatos... can Personas get strained? ...Maybe. ]
Please. I'd feel much safer with a god by my side. [ ...though Thanatos also fills that position— never mind, she's just going to join Yato at the front and smile slightly. ] ...Thank you for all the help, Yato. I truly appreciate it, and I'm sorry I couldn't have done more to aid you earlier.
I still couldn't do as you had asked and taken care of that little girl when she arrived. No, I thought to speak to her instead... [ Mmm. ] Because I didn't think she was a threat, Thanatos wasn't on guard, and it culminated in my being distracted and getting hurt.
[ It was unnecessary. She won't let that girl pin the blame on Yato or anything either—she wanted to help, and any mistake of hers is hers alone? ]
You truly are a kind person, aren't you? Though I suppose that must come with the "god" territory. [ but she's thankful for the reassurance anyway. ] You're welcome.
[ Yato doesn't respond right away. He doesn't know if he's really kind, and even less if he'd have his godliness to thank for it. But that's a topic for another day.
He turns the conversation elsewhere, chattering until they arrive at Elizabeth's. Then, if there's nothing else, he'll wish her a good night and hop off! ]

Very cool, however... Can they turn back into swords, or will you be without one if he ends up turning into a human as well?

[ ...unlike people. that reminds her of something emil said months ago, and she shuts her book. glancing at the exit now. ]
...Do you suppose it'll be safe to go back out again...? I'm afraid my roommates might worry if I'm out for much longer.

What do you mean? I'm not the one with power over the guy who can blast phantoms with his face. You're the one who saved me, dummy.

Then you owe yourself an apology, I guess. But you still saved me, and I'm better off 'cause you showed up. Thanks.
