I didn't realize aesthetics were such an important factor.
[it's not like souji would be all that fussed about the loss of hands, either. unless it were his own hands, but when it that ever going to be an issue? he's deft enough with his sword, and most injuries would heal pretty seamlessly for him. at this point, he's not even considering it an option that's on the table, because it seems so implausible.
even if, theoretically, he should be the target since he brought up shoving kashuu into the fountain to begin with. it's amazing how his own confidence in his abilities makes him think he's not privy to that, but is it really important? no. because what's more interesting to him is the focus on that blade; its not just the familiarity with its appearance either, but the way it's being spoken of. it catches his attention.]
Ahh, you're making me curious with the way you speak of that blade. [he says it casually, downplaying his curiosity in the sword specifically—it's not terribly uncommon to start a casual conversation about these things among swordsmen, after all. but because souji's curious, it's enough to turn his full attention to kashuu, shifting to face him entirely and thereby revealing the swords that sit at his own hip. it's not really intentional, but they're fully visible, even as souji changes stands and lets his hand rest atop them.]
