"You should." Teresa hadn't made any comments about other weapon makers, so Homura assumed he would need to add her name to the list. But that practical thought aside, Homura returned the tease in kind. "It means you interested me. It's not something everyone can do." And those who did either recoiled from Homura's brand of provocation, or stayed close, becoming the people Homura held the strongest connections to. "So far, I like you, Teresa. And I'm looking forward to what you'll show me."

"As for which comes first, I'll leave that up to you. After all, they're all things I'm going to hear, aren't they?" Whatever warnings or requests Teresa wished to make, Homura would deal with as he could. He'd much rather her be upfront with such things anyway, though if she turned out to be another like Himura, who refused to kill, her usefulness would be lessened. "I do have a request of my own, however. I'll need a description of the type of sword you want. A drawing would be best, including proportions of the parts, but use whatever method you'd like. Just be aware that it will be simple in design: decorations and flourishes are an unnecessary waste of energy. If you have magical or supernatural abilities you've tried to use here, you'll understand what I mean by that."
