[ For a moment, Arjuna wonders if the man's words and the sword he sets by his side have any connection.
Normally, he would not. The archer knows what it is like to carry a weapon at all times, after all. But the man's first words do make him stop, and think, and assume, a something Arjuna is not very used to. He has seen and known all kind of different beings, both from Chaldea and from his own country - India is not shy to the divine, to the unknown, to what's holy and what's not.
His one father - one of them, the King Pandu - had been cursed for shooting a female deer whose lover was wearing a disguise. Such a thing is normal to deities and Gods. But to assume the form of an inanimate object... - no, to have been born as one to begin with, only to become human...
In his culture, such a thing is unheard of. ]
Is that so? You are not human, then, despite looking much like one.
[ Unfortunately to Mikazuki, the tease is completely ignored. Despite his looks, this prince fathers four children, each from a different mother. He knows quite well how healing such a touch feels. ]

May I ask what you are?
