( It's no small feat at all to summon a spirit like Mikazuki. Or many of the others at the citadel for that matter. But Mikazuki had been the one that truly caught their attention. Either this child was lucky or had some potential they had to watch. )
Thank you.
( Truly. She's relieved.
The video conference begins nicely enough. Saniwa are valuable and Hana is young. They ask if she is well to which she replies that she and the others are fine. They ask for a report and she does her best. It is simple and factual. She asks Konnosuke to give numbers and he begins to report some numbers and statistics. It's after this that the questions become more difficult. The identity of the traitor is confirmed? How did this happen? Isn't he the same sword from before? Were there not any signs? Does he know anything?
There are other voices at the council, kinder voices that try to soften the interrogation. Of course, their attempts seem to mean turning the blame onto the sword in question. Tsurumaru Kuninaga must be a difficult sword. What was his history? Yes, with a history like that, he must have been susceptible from the start. It's almost like the other speakers forget Hana and her swords are still listening as they debate how to handle this.
He's a national treasure so he can't simply be destroyed. --But it would appear he can't be saved either. Security outweighs value. This is a threat to the very fabric of their history. Who knows what damage he's out causing now. It's in their best interest to just destroy him and cut their losses now instead of risking another betrayal! Besides, they could always create a new one; one clean from whatever taint that has clearly grasped this one's spirit.
Hana is a mild mannered girl, one who is always polite and respectful towards others. She rarely raises her voice, even with her most troublesome spirits. Even now, she keeps quiet though it's clear there are many things that she wishes to say. She can tell that the swords she brought with her are also struggling to keep quiet for much longer. Mutsunokami and Hasebe aren't fools. They can tell that their master is being regarded harshly and set up for failure. To destroy an imperial treasure would be...
Both of them look ready to snap at any moment and if they do, it won't be in a calm manner.
All the while, their saniwa sits calmly. She's much like an obedient child, sitting quietly while adults argue around her. )
