It's difficult sometimes. But it's important.

[All of them--okay. Most of them do their jobs willingly, despite the pain it causes them.]

[allomantic]

How long has it been going on?

[aitou]

[........he has to think about it]

I'm not sure... it's hard to keep track of time. [when you're hundreds of years old and also your country keeps changing the calendar] At least a few years.

[allomantic]

I see... What did you do before that, then?

[aitou]

I didn't have a body then! And swords weren't used for a long time, so...

[He shrugs, which basically means "so he just vibed in the spirit void alone for a few hundred years thinking about his dead loved ones"]

[allomantic]

You... didn't have a body?

[she looks a little bit horrified? hello?]

[aitou]

[Why???]

Not a human body, no. I'm a sword tsukumogami, so I didn't need one!

[allomantic]

But how did you move and speak, then?

[aitou]

[He looks confused...]

You mean, to humans?

[allomantic]

To anyone.

[she is probably thinking about some part of this wrong, and she sounds a littl absurd even to herself, but—]

Swords do not have... mouths...?

[aitou]

[Vin sweetie have you. Ever seen a sword.

He thinks he understands what she's asking, though, and he tilts his head.]

Mm... not really? It's a little complicated... [He smiles, though it's somewhat apologetic.] Sorry, I don't really know how to explain it to human.
