Oh! [He laughs, waving a hand.] No, Horikawa's a wakizashi. Ah--that's a short sword, about this long. [He will use his hands!] They're kind of like our partners, or our support... Our masters can carry them along with swords like us at the same time--we go here, and they go here.
[Pointing at spots on his hip!! Where they'd be resting in his obi, if he were wearing swords at the moment.]
Hijikata-san always took Horikawa and Izuminokami out together.
Ohhh, yeah. I think I've seen those. [ well. she has seen short swords. were they wakizashi? please do no ask me the state of sword culture in adventure time. ] So does that mean you've got a partner too?
Not really... we fight pretty much the same way, because of Okita-kun. So it just feels natural--well, as far as fighting in these bodies goes, anyway.
Yeah, I guess it must've been pretty weird to go from spirit to having a full human physical body. But since they want you to save the timeline and junk... was the whole fighting in a human body deal innate?

Also this is a great question because technically Okita probably did have one but it has never been acknowledged in canon so--]
Kiyomitsu, kind of! We're the same type of sword, though, so Okita-kun couldn't take us out together.

[ she does not know how this works at all. ]
no subject
We're just equals, really. Okita-kun used to choose between us for his battles, but now we can fight together, if Aruji puts us in the same formation.
no subject
Is it weird to be able to fight alongside him now?

Well, it took some getting used to at first--but fighting in them has always been the easiest part.
[So yes, mostly, is the answer to her question.]

[ nudges. ]
no subject
A little! Sometimes I still do, but not as much anymore. [Now he does acrobatics]

[
ruffles his hair because he pushed it out of his eyes and she's terrible ]
no subject

I guess that's better than pushing me over on purpose...
