[He's relieved to see her smile like that again. That's the Minako he knows-- not the fire-eyed dragon summoner. But, he supposes, it doesn't change much about Minako at all... She's still Minako, just like Sorey is still Sorey even with all the crazy memories of waving swords around.]

Minako...

[He echoes her smile, softer.]

There's a lot happening to all of us-- a lot of stuff we just can't understand. I promise you're still Minako to me no matter what.

[He hesitates, not yet offering up what happened to him in the woods last month. So he offers something else instead.]

I actually learned swordfighting that way, too. Not just-- kendo. I remembered how to do something totally different.

Practicing's been difficult, but... maybe we could help each other?
