It was really dangerous... I was injured pretty badly.

[ His warm, pleasant tone wanes as he recalls the injuries he sustained. Even being a spirit, if his true self--- his sword, were to ever be broken, Kogitsunemaru would break as well. Real death.

Those dark thoughts are quickly wiped away by the scampering of snow animals at his feet and it makes him smile. They're so cute, chasing each other around! ]

Kashuu-kun is a great ally to have. [ Kogi will reach out to touch them as they go by. ] Back in the Citadel, the only animals were Naki-kun's fox and Urashima-kun's turtle... and both weren't exactly animal-like.

[ Mostly because Naki's fox doesn't stop talking once he's on a roll. ]

Thank you, Jack-kun, for allowing me to help you dispatch that monster.
