"Oh for the love of - I'm not magic, that's stupid. Literally the only way I could hurt you would be to punch you, and you're probably the type to kill someone before they do." As for what he's doing out here... "... Looking at the plants. Unlike some people here I don't just believe what people tell me, so I wanted to see if there were any plants I recognized." So far... not really.

... He's better with shore plants and seaweed, anyway. "And I heard a noise so I came to investigate it, only to find you killing it. ... I'd have liked to study it more, but it looked like it was trying to kill you so it probably wouldn't have held still long enough to study anyway." He eyes the sword again.

It's... it does look really sharp. And like something out of an anime. Maki and her father would have loved to see it. ... Why does his heart hurt? It's not like he has strong feeling towards Maki. Ugh. His face pulls into a scowl and he huffs. "But if you're gonna kill me, then kill me. I can't stop it, and I'd rather it be quick this time anyway."
