"Two newcomers in one day?"  Kirie raised an eyebrow at the other girl as she took the blade from Reiko and tried to draw it herself.  The blade came free with difficulty but it did come after a moment and the elder girl's heart sank slightly as she took in the aged and worn metal.  The blade would serve for light use but this was no warrior's weapon.  By her guess it had not seen use in decades or centuries, perhaps hanging on some lord's wall or lost in some long-ago battle.<br/><br/>The metal could be used to forge a new blade, and the girl could practice forms with it as it was, but if she was to see battle anytime soon she would need another sword, and they had few to spare.<br/><br/>She held the Masamune back out to Reiko.  "It will do for now, but it is no demon-slayer's weapon.  Sooner or later, you will need it replaced, or reforged..."  There were smiths and craftswomen amongst their number, many of them promising.  One of them could remake the blade should it come to that.
