[ Hm. Interesting name for a katana. He'll keep that in mind for when he does get to meet the sword itself. ]
Smart. It's unfortunate, but better the blade than your skull.
[ For all his love of blades, Muramasa will never choose them over a human life. They are tools, meant to be used; taken care of and valued, yes, but ultimately they're tools to survive with. And breaking a good blade is a crime he's all too guilty of himself. ]
I know it'll probably be hard in the middle of battle, but if you can afford to grab the pieces, do it. I hate to waste good steel. Even if I can't fix it, we'll melt it down and incorporate it into a new blade.
[ If there's one thing Kyoto has plenty of, its lumber. A sting of mana, and he can keep a furnace or a charcoal pile going for hours, a preemptive command over his own forge. What he doesn't have is a good anvil, or his wedged hammer, or enough steel ready to be worked, which is what he needs if he's going to equip Raidou — or any other Outsider — to his satsifaction. ]
