Well, a sword doesn't really need to do any of those things.

[There's other ways to take care of them? Making sure that they're kept sharp and well taken care of, being used skillfully ー these human kinds of things are good too, but those are especially what Horikawa considers as being nice. The latter question brings up a look of amusement too, but he has to shake his head no on that one.]

Sorry, but I can't listen to them if that's what you're hoping for... Still! I think that it's good to be courteous to a sword that's in good hands.

[A sword like Link's!]
