[ Danny startles a little ]
Okay, first off? It's Danny. Not Daniel, and never Dan.
Second...I have no idea. [ squints at his own profile ] Something about wizards, maybe? ...Is 8 good?

Oh. 8 is bad, then. [ wince ] Here's hoping it stands for, like...wispy. I'm not very wispy.
What about you? What's your wis-- [ checks his phone ] --14?! Oh, come on!

Yeah, but like all your other numbers are super high! What gives!
This body...?
Are you saying you're not human?
Are you saying you're not human?
You're...a sword. You're that [ he points to it ] sword, but you're also a human-shaped something. At the same time?
[ Danny just gives him A Look for a few silent moments before sighing ]
Yeah, okay. I guess that's not any weirder than a nightmare sword that teleports you instead of cutting you.

Hah, good to know even the weird manifestation of a human sword thinks so too.

I don't think it has a spirit. It's just...wielded by one.

Huh...you know what, you might actually be onto something there, though. There's only one guy who wields that sword, so maybe it's like you and your...sword? Sword-body?
Kind of? Sometimes there's natural portals to the human world that pop up just long enough for them to come through.
For us, though, we've got an artificial portal that's open like 24/7, so there's a lot more of them where I live.

Not...usually. "Fun" isn't exactly the word I'd use to describe it.
...yeah, I guess some of them are mischievous.
