[Matoba doesn't move a muscle as Hizen approaches like a nervy cat, keeping calm and steady and casual. He wasn't lying, and there was no reason to be on guard- but he knew the moods and handling of wounded animals and monsters.]
[He also doesn't know for certain how Hizen will react to the talisman.]
...Good. It seems that you can handle this one, then. [Matoba draws the talisman back again, and then gestures towards Hizen's sheath.] Shall I apply it? It should be useful, to a reckless one such as yourself.
