[The hug feels good, and he holds back just as tightly.]

Thank you.

[maybe it's not that bad because Ichigo hasn't seen the things in the chest in action. And unless he asks for it himself, he never will. Mikazukis' sessions with other swords are private unless they themselves request it otherwise.

It's a little surprising seeing Ichigo zero in on the whip... and it doesn't look like he's entirely aware of what it's used for and on whom, he likes it for a more innocent reason, and that's... cute in a way.

But then, more questions come and he has to be delicate, but still truthful, in his answers.]

The knife is for cutting through fabric, mostly. And I don't usually get injured myself, but some of these things... can cause some damage to the person requesting them and it needs to be taken care of immediately afterwards.

[Come on, Ichigo, there is a whip here... And it's not a small thing, it's a horsewhip.]
