[Shun raises the hammer over his shoulder, which casts the crack down its length into the light.] If you've got something to weaken it more before I take it down, it'd be better. It's a big one for a fragile weapon.

[Kotori huffs a bit in his head, though it's more in the tone of someone reluctantly allowing themselves to be helped. Being a cracked vessel presents its own risks, and neither she or Shun want to exacerbate them.

Nonetheless, when Caster lands the first hit, Shun starts to head in, aiming around the ayakashi's legs instead. The sword in his hand shines faintly with some kind of unnatural coating, and when he slashes it across the back of the ayakashi's leg, it screeches and jerks away, not dissimilarly to how one might react to blessed water.]
