> Do we smoke?
> If Yes "Thank you."
> If No "No thank you."
> "I guess your right... I gotta get over it though. If anything, never having seen lethal combat before, then being chased by that princess screaming insanely, it does not help. But you are right." resolve to stop worrying about the knife. We brought it with us in case a kill or be kill situation came up, and one did.
> "You could say the issue was cowardice on top of never seen lethal combat. Certainly you can remember some of the first times you were in a fight to the death? Although I'm getting over it."
> "Keeping it in good condition was a safety procaution at first, just in case I got in a fight and needed it to survive."
> You don't smoke, it's mostly the older men in the village that smoke, so you decline.
> "Good man, don't ever start, just not worth it." Guess what's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander.
> You attempt to explain yourself to Sakuya, but she stops you early with a laugh.
> "Aww, you're just adorable! Does your mommy know you're out here? Do you have you be home before sundown for supper?" She slaps your shoulder, "Man up."
>What no. We are not this spineless.
>"You can say like that, but I don't agree. A knife's job isn't to kill people, it's to help out by cutting things that need to be cut. Killing people with it is misusing it, just like strangling someone with a coat is. And, maybe they get better? But the intention was still there, and so was the action. But, I think we can both believe as we like on this issue. I really don't want to argue it again."
> Who the hell does this girl think she is!?
> Sakuya sighs. "There's a lot of things I'd like to say to you about this, especially because I consider myself to still be a hunter, but I'm sure you've talked about this at length with the youkai and they insisted w-w-w-whatever the hell they insist. As a human though, I still maintain that a knife's true purpose is for killing, and that it always has been. They worked that way across the border and I'm sure they work the same way here baby."
> The smoke continues to settle around her. As hard as she may make herself out to be, it's very difficult to be threatening in lacy sleeves.
> She spins your knife. "So now, we have this knife that you hate, what do you want to do with this? And before you suggest it I'm not just going to "take it" because that would be an insult to the maker and baby please, I am not dealing with that shit."
