Indeed- it is certainly not a common weapon, [he chuckles, rubbing the back of his head,] But it was presented to me as a token of victory and fortune in combat. If you are perhaps familiar with the name of Bruford, but he was a knight to Mary Stuart, Queen of the Scots in the mid-1500s.
[And also the name of a drummer, but surely that's coincidence. Just wait until Speedwagon comes up.] He had been resurrected however, as a villainous zombie, devoted only to the will of the vampire who raised him! It was in our battle that he managed to regain sense, and move on- bestowing upon me his renamed blade in the process.
[Strangely, Jonathan doesn't give the impression of someone boasting as he shares the tale. It is one more close to the heart for the man, and he appears to genuinely feel more for Bruford than anything.
...It's still very odd, and perhaps it will be easier to focus on what Jonathan says next.] I have attempted to reach for my Hamon to perhaps try at least combating the hounds, [he confesses, immediately proving any such theory of sense wrong,] But thus far have regained nothing...
I do believe you are right to say we ought stick together for that reason and many others! [He is able to finish the statement with a smile, and the optimism seems to even stick a little longer as he nods.] When it comes to combat at least, I can truthfully say that I shall defend you with my very life- and defend Danny as well! But if you yourself have fought such vile beasts, then we should see each other in good company indeed.
For that matter, you have an advantage over myself already! I fear that nursing techniques were far more my wife's area of knowledge rather than my own...
[The smile is more strained as he mentions his wife. She's not here, after all.
thank you araki for naming almost everyone for music...thank you....

With any luck, he thinks, she never will be.]
