The initial flood of panic actually dies down very quickly--pretty much as soon as Takuto utters his first awed exclamation, in fact. That sort of flattery and awe is very nice indeed, and there's something about the way Takuto is admiring him right now in this form that has him feeling content and almost thrilled.

"I should hope so." Not that he can tell the specifics from his position, but really. It's only natural he'd be striking in any form. "A sword...so beautiful and useful. I suppose I can live with that."

He really thought he would hate this, and he does still dislike the idea of it and the feeling of not being able to do anything, but it's almost worth it if it means being admired too.
