(Very loved. It was the most love he'd received in a very, very long time. Even after he left and joined the imperial collection, it was the Date who cared for him personally instead of leaving their experts and officials. For a moment, he was a family sword again and not just a collector's item.
He looks at Rin's sword. He can't help but recall the last time he held it and when he reaches for it, there's great care. It's a serious moment and he whispers,)
[Kurikara comes out of the scabbard, refined and whole once more. There are signs of the trauma this sword experienced- slight scorching on the hilt, a minuscule weight difference from the slivers of metal that were never recovered, a slight difference in color in the metal compared to before. But the sword is solid, sharp, and ready to serve as a blade in battle once more.]
Baraqiel- er, Hua Cheng- he helped me fix it. We used the forge in that one town, and my flames to help get the fires hot enough for a good repair.

Hello, Kurikara.
(And carefully, he begins to draw the sword.)
