[He shifts and stands, slinging the sword off his back and moving away a few feet. He'd rather not burn Alister, or anything else, but to show the sword it requires pulling the blade, and the flames, however tempered he can make them now, will still show.
He takes it out only part way, and even through the flames there's just the slightest patch of discoloration on the blade. The repair work is well done, and if it weren't for the difference in metals it would be almost indistinguishable from the rest of the kurikara.]
I don't remember most of it. I just remember gettin' more and more angry until... that was all I could feel. And then I blacked out. When I came back Yukio said that the sword had started to crack, and they had to take it to a blacksmith in Kyoto, who's family made the original. They had to use blessed metal to repair it.
Otherwise... I'd just lose control until I wasn't even human anymore.
[He slides the sword shut with a faint shnk! noise, dousing the flames in the process.]
This is the only think keepin' me the way I am now. Without this I'm no different than the rest of the demons in Gehenna.
action!
