Anya stared blankly at the weapon in her hands, unsure of how to feel about receiving such a gift. She was sure that Isaac's intentions were nothing but pure, but this was a sword--

"Ultimately, swords are weapons for killing. No matter how hard we try we cannot change this fact."


Words that she had thought she had long forgotten echoed through her head. Her grip on the cold steel visibly shook for a moment as her eyes readjusted to focus back on the moment at present.

"Thank you, Mr. Kurai," she said, placing the sword back in its box. "I appreciate the gesture, however I do not believe there will be a need to use such a weapon against our fellow students."

The boy laughed. "Course not! Though the sheath might find good use knocking some idiots heads. Plus the color red suits you~"

He rubbed the back of his head, slightly embarrassed for not thinking quite this far ahead. He had simply gone with what he thought would be nice, not whether or not it was proper, or if she could really use a sword, though given her skill and prowess he was certain she could use it even without fatally harming many targets.

Still it was slowly dawning on him that this might be misunderstood, this gesture of friendship, and he wasn't quite sure how to deal with it. He suddenly found himself feeling very embarrassed for some reason, though he couldn't put a finger on it. It was true, the color red did go with her hair after all, and it was a lovely shade in his opinion.

"And you could always mount the sword on your wall or something till you need it." he added sheepishly.

Perhaps she was being too unappreciative?

After all it must have taken Isaac a lot of time, money, and effort just to get the katana to where it now rested.

Anya stared at the sword sleeping peacefully inside its case, then back at Isaac before giving up a sigh as she pulled it out one more time. "We will save its blade for when it is needed," she declared. Then without warning, she stood up with sword in hand, and deeply bowed her head towards him.

"It is a wonderful gift. Thank you, Mr. Kurai."

"Th-think nothing of it!" He said laughing, cheeks flushed. "Like I said, you're my friend, and the leader of the Redtails after all." Her formality and the deep bow had the amusing effect of making him very flustered.

He rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly, trying to think of what more to say, only to be saved by his phone. A little tune signified he was missing a call, and before he managed to pull it out, the caller had gone to voicemail.

"Isaaaaaac! Where are youuuuuu? You were supposed to pick me up todaaaay!"

The boy squinted his eyes shut and smacked his forehead.

"Oh crap crap crap. I was supposed to pick up my little sister today, I gotta go!" He hopped to his feet and gathered his things, quickly using a tiny gate to place his empty teacup and plate on the counter while never leaving the side of the couch. "Thanks for the tea and I'm glad you liked your gift~!

He turned before pulling out his camera. "Remember, I'm your friend, so if anything happens you wanna talk about, or not talk about, or just hang out, gimme a call~" and with that he zipped over and hugged her, careful not to brush her bruised arm.

Then in a flash, he was gone.

Anya blinked several times in confusion as her head tried to comprehend what had just happened.

She wasn't sure whether to be irate over the sudden hug, or the fact that Isaac himself had left before she could give him any form of a proper farewell.

Her eyes fell back on the weapon in hand, and looking around to make sure that no one was watching -a strange thing to do, seeing as it was her room-, she slipped the sheathed sword into the noose she kept at her waist.

It was certainly a lot heavier than what she was used to, and the pulling on the fabric of her skirt didn't help much either. She'd have to look into a proper holster of some sort later.

Then looking at her bandaged hand, she quietly reflected on Isaac's departing words.

"Remember, I'm your friend, so if anything happens you wanna talk about, or not talk about, or just hang out, gimme a call~"

She'd have to look into getting a new phone as well.
