[ HELP i guess it depends on the swords explaining it... iwatooshi has nothing to hide. ]
I suppose it can be. [ thoughtfully, as he turns his eyes away. ] I don't always understand my master's intentions in why they choose who they do for certain missions, but I know they mean well.
Regardless, we exist for our current master, and our duty is to follow their orders. It's not that difficult, when you think about it that way.
When my former master was killed in battle, I was claimed by the enemy army as a trophy and put aside. [ or something? we don't know. don't think about it too hard. ] I wasn't used for centuries afterward.
But my current master used their magic to summon my spirit. They gave me this body, so I'll serve them until they no longer have need of me.
[ and what if i give daan the memory of being summoned? what then?
anyway, iwatooshi would be there for them all no matter what, for as long as he could. he doesn't need to be asked to step up as a pillar of his team. forty or so is a bit bigger of a team than he's used to, citadel or not, but the principle is still the same.
nonetheless, he steps back to bow, formally accepting the responsibility being handed to him. ]
I will do my best, Daan-dono. We all have much to worry about, here, but we can't forget the joys of this life, even when it becomes harder to bear.
[ listen he just treats everything like this when he's in a solemn mood! and it's a very serious thing, for iwatooshi, to take care of others. so he nods. ]
We're all a team, after all. Even I can't do everything by myself.
[ not that this will stop him from trying, but you know how it is. ]

...It's our mission. Sometimes it can be difficult, but it's something we must do, or we won't be any better than the Revisionists.

Sounds like a pretty heavy responsibility, Mr. Iwatooshi.
[ I'm not gonna lie I think I learned more about what TKRB is actually about in this single thread than I have from any other sword in mg so far. ]

What happens when you aren't summoned? Is it like being asleep?

Mhm. Regardless...
You're worried about others, and others look to you too, for a spot of... brightness, let's say.
...
Let's keep it that way.

And also help x2 he didn't mean to just knight bestow him this sort of role. ]
...Mhm. Joys of life, can't forget about 'em.
Though, hardly my place to put that kind of weight on your shoulders. You'll speak up if it gets to be a bit much, won't you?

We should both try to get some rest. It's been a trying weekend.
