"Huh. So maybe I'll see her after all. Spirits are indeed common here in Runra. They're the ones responsible for all of our strengths, you know? Whether it be magic, strength, agility, or even intelligence."

*Whether that was actually true was debatable.*

"Even if you don't believe in ancestral spirits, one's own spirit can often be the source of your strength. In the region I'm from though, it's more common to pray to an Uha. They don't talk, often. It's really a matter of faith, which leads to results."

*Subarashi took a small break to scarf down some more noodles.*

"It's a strange system, but it works. Maybe it's an Uha you're seeing!"
Carrie
"An... Uha...?"*She questioned slowly. It could explain the one she was seeing in her dreams, but she couldn't figure out where it was this 'Uha' was taking her if leading her somewhere was its goal. She supposed it did eventually lead her to Subarashi which was a little comforting to know of another that believed in these spirits. It made her feel less weird.*"I guess the... Ones in the forests and... Dreams can be... I don't think the one that stays in my weapon is. He... Talks very often... Well whenever he's not in the weapon anyways. He kind of seems different from the other spirits though so maybe that's part of it..."
James
"A type of spirit. Gods, basically. There's a lot of other types too, though I can't remember them off the top of my head. Mountains, forests, people, animals all have spirits."

*So there was a spirit in the staff. It just seemed like a simple wooden staff though. So why did he feel like there was something more to it?*

"Weapons have spirits too. Though, a simple staff surely can't contain much power, right?"
Carrie
"It was a simple staff. At some point I must have merged my weapon with his... I...Don't really remember certain things I do with his weapon around. I... Sometimes feel like I'm acting without thinking and... It's a little scary... But things have gotten better... They should get better..."*She says looking towards her staff.*"I hear stories of great spirits... I don't believe he is one, but I believe the spirits brought me to him for a reason... Even if... It's not so clear right now... Even if it's just to give me... Someone to talk to..."
James
"...Was? I know weapons have spirits. I didn't know they could talk. Do you want to bring him out to talk? I'm no priest, but maybe we can figure something out."

*Was this even a good idea? It would certainly give him the chance to see a spirit in person. The best he had done was communicating with the Goddess of the Underworld; he didn't know about summoning much.*
