That's more useful than a weapon you have no experience with. That'd hurt either or both of us, potentially.

[ She said in part to reassure, but also just to be clear. ]

[She smiles, dryly.] Not untrue.

So you have that thing but no recollection of it? [How strange...she'd think, at the very least, that seeing something like that in your house or your hand or...wherever...would at least spur some sort of memory. Theories about how this system really work all seem inadequate.]

I know what it is...? I've seen the "other me" use it in memories, though not really in the way you'd usually use a sword. But that doesn't mean that I know how to use a sword. That's all.

[ And in fact to make this a little more clear it's still in its scabbard but shifting her left shoulder (the one that has the prosthetic arm below it at the elbow) she reaches into her bag with her right hand to pull out the sword in question ]

I see. I'm sorry; I understand now. I thought it might have appeared without any memories.

[It can be hard to apologize for misunderstanding, but Natalia deserves it, really. Her voice is softer so it sounds like a genuine apology and not just her being a blowhard. She looks at it with interest, holding up the lantern.]

I don't think I've ever seen one with a blade that thin.

No, no, not quite that! I might not have been clear.

[ She pulls it out completely, even slipping it out of the scabbard a bit before putting it back in. It's a bit awkward to do that with the bag over her shoulder and needing to brace one side with her left (prosthetic) hand, but she manages okay. And... ]

It's also a conductors baton, but the tip is perfectly sharp too.

[She thinks it would be embarrassing to her if she offered her help without being asked, so Jasmine doesn't, but she does try to provide enough light that she can see the opening of the scabbard. Natalia seems earnest, kind, and not the type to pick up a sword. But maybe she was. Or maybe it's just that necessity makes for strange fighters.]

Now that really is something I haven't seen. I suppose that's one way to pushing the sharps and flats.

Blades, actually. ... In the past, it seems I could conduct flying swords to where they needed to go.

[ Which is like... weird to say so simply but she doesn't have a better way to put it, not really. She laughs it off though, and once Jasmine's gotten a look the woman puts it back in her bag. It's true though, Natalia doesn't arguably seem the type to use a sword, even a tiny one like that. ]

Combat powers based around music... [This is more to herself than Natalia, as Jasmine butts up against questions from memories she's already had, conversations she remembers that don't seem to make any sense.

Quickly pulled back from distraction, she glances up, dismisses the thought.]

Some of these things sound so strange when said aloud, and yet, to us they feel undeniably true.

Too bad the conductors down here would be different, right? [Oh god that was a joke; she tried to make a joke; please stop her from ever doing that again. Even if it was a deflection from he own introspection, just. Please.]

[ There wasn't music, she doesn't ... think? But then, she was conducting, so maybe it was the nature of it, focused in her head and she was just distracted by so much else that she couldn't help but consider it? After all, Ellie has some music-magic.

That said, that joke...?

It makes her giggle a little. ]

Oh, that's true! We can't have too much music happening down here, the acoustics would be awful.
