But the little story she tells has Kashuu smiling!]
Oh! That's cute... It's not really unusual for spirits to take to humans, I think - or at least give 'em a hand when they need a little extra help.
[This followed by a wink, like he's sharing a not-so-secret secret. After all, if Chihiro has had contact with the other side, she probably knows how true that is herself. They tend to interfere without good reason sometimes too, of course, as fickle things are wont to do - but most of the time, as he's seen, it's been... at the very least, not harmful. Even good, sometimes!]
Your mom sounds like a smart lady, too. [Though being unable to forget things tends to be more of a burden the older something gets--
Which is a thought he'll have to save for another time because AH YES, suddenly they're active participants in a reenactment of Ib! Incredible.
The thing about sword spirits, too, is that they generally tend to... you know, be swords first and foremost, no matter how human they look. So the hand shoots out and grabs at Chihiro, Chihiro ducks, and Kashuu steps forward in one fluid motion. If only he had his Bop-It now... BUT HE DOESN'T, he only has the sword at his side, which rises up in less than a blink and neatly severs that hand at the wrist.
Welp.
On the plus side, it gushes what seems to be black ink, rather than blood.]
