"If you could do that the whole time why didn't you go wash yourself and get out of the ground by yourself?"
English
-
"Cool down and I can't move through the ground. It's easier if someone else were to wash me. Now, shoo! You might scare away a good owner."
-
"If you can't move through the ground and I just shoved you in the dirt then how did you get out this time?"
-
"You shoved some of my blade into the ground, most of me was still sticking out. It wasn't like earlier where only a small amount of me was sticking out."
-
"..." ... "It can be." He tried to grab the sword again.
-
The sword vanishes again and now it sits on the top of a nearby tree. "Go away! I'm not going back in the ground!"
-
"How'd you end up there anyways?"
-
"I can't even remember because of how long it has been. I think some jack*ss adventurer didn't like my advice or something and stuck me in there."
-
"..." ... "...sounds like a real jerk..."
-
"Yeah, no one seems to ever appreciate my help. They just say I nag too much and that I'm like a wife without any of the good parts."
-
"How are you even alive?"
-
"What do you mean?"
-
"Swords aren't normally able to talk, see, and hear. How can you?"
-
"I put myself in this sword a long time ago....I wasn't always a sword."
-
"Wow... that's deep, edgy, and cliche."
-
"Edgy because of the pun? Hey, I'm not gonna be all angsty about it or anything. Just what happened."
-
"Ohh ok. Anyways, I think we got off the wrong foot. You seem a little on-edge..."
-
"....The puns won't help you. They'd make me squirm in discomfort if I still had a body."
-
"Sorry about that... anyways, why do you even want an owner? Why not just be free? Stab whoever you want and not have to listen to someone?"
-
"I can't move and I can't break free of this sword unless my owner does something. I also wouldn't mind helping someone who's actually competent."
-
"You can break free? How?"
-
"I'm not allowed to just openly say that. I can however say it has to do with peace."
-
"Is it some cliche garbage where you find a troubled owner and help them find peace which lets you get free and find peace yourself?"
-
"Oh f*ck no! That would suck. How cliche do you think I am?"
-
"I mean... you are an Excalibur ripoff with the whole 'worthy owner' thing."
-
"Woah. One trait that's not even similar. That sword couldn't be pulled from the ground unless the owner was the rightful king. I technically can be used by anyone if I feel like letting them use me."
