[reprizesal]

[A suitable master? A long time ago, Sayo won't know how to answer it. A sword driven by revenge and a master who doesn't seek any would be a mismatch.

But now, he spent enough time with Haru to get to know him... and trust him.]

Yes. He is a kind and strong master. [Even as he get restless without anything to direct his obsession at.] He's a good master and I would follow him.

[adminproof]

That is good to hear. It is unfortunate when a sword must follow one they are not compatible with.

[Or in his own case, when a Sword must follow Polaris...not compatible is an understatement...

He tilts his head a bit, seemingly casting off all caution of their (creepy, creepy hospital) surroundings for the moment. In reality, he's still fully aware.]

What makes him a "good master" to you?

[reprizesal]

[Sayo still remains aware of their surroundings. He could never really like ViViD in the first place, no matter how useful it can be.

What makes Haru a good master to him?]

...He cares. [So much, it sometimes surprised him and reminded him why he never once regret following him. There's so many swords in the army, but Haru still have plenty of love to give to him.] He cares and never used me for any selfish reasons.

[Of course, there's always some element of selfishness in their war against the Retrograding Army and in their daily life. But it's not as blatant as committing crimes or getting revenge. But compared to his personal history, Haru is like a breath of fresh, spring air.

A part of him is just tired of selfish humans.]

[adminproof]

[Saiduq nods, although he's not too pleased to hear the last part. The bitter and angry tsukumogami are the ones he's more familiar with, due to the nature of demons and spirits and his line of work. Such is human nature, unfortunately. Weak, with twistedness in their hearts, but humans are capable of rising above that, capable of putting the future above their own selfishness.

That's what he and the others, especially Yamato, have gambled on.]

...So you have been used for such reasons in the past, I take it.

[reprizesal]

Yes.

[Sayo have no problems admitting it, compared to other swords. His past is a part of him. Having it being mentioned and even admired was nothing new to him. So he speaks his next words calmly.]

My old masters used me for theft, murder and revenge.

[With revenge left the strong impression on his young (for a tsukumogami at the time) spirit.]

[adminproof]

[The words come as no surprise to him; he's seen enough of the ugly side of humans, enough of vengeful, bitter, broken tsukumogami hell-bent on taking revenge on their former owners to let out nothing more than a small sigh.]

I see. ...Such are the consequences of Man's fallen nature, its desires made material.

[But there's more to them than that, he wants to say. There's hope, possibility, and love, warmth and true companionship all wrapped up in those fragile yet strong forms, their hands the strongest tool he's ever known.

However, he'll leave Sayo's own judgment of humanity, through his own experiences, to Sayo.]

It is good that you have been summoned to a master far kinder than them, indeed.

[reprizesal]

[He nods.]

Yes... I'm glad to serve a good master right now. He haven't shown anything like my old masters.

[He didn't say "yet", although it's hanging in the air. Sayo had seen how humans can change their motivations and themselves.

But... he didn't want to see that happen to Haru.]
