[Yamato isn't the type to take offense to teasing, but even if he was, he's too elated by this chance to care about much else. He laughs, a sound Ayumu probably hasn't heard since that night; and while there's no visible change, his blade grows even sharper.
They've seen a lot today. Some would say a battle is no place for laughter and joy, and that's especially true within the chaos and heartache of today. But Yamato can't help himself; this is what he is now. Both his goddesses have been fierce and unrepentant, and he takes the form of a blade for a reason. Why wouldn't he enjoy himself when he's doing what he's meant to do?
(Besides, the rhinos started it.)]
Oraaaa!
[He doesn't really need to instruct her this time--they figured things out pretty well on the last rhino ayakashi. So instead of wasting his words, he pours his energy into piercing its tough body. Maybe it's Hijikata's presence, or maybe it's Souji's--whatever the reason, his focus and strength land a clean hit, wresting an unearthly screech from the creature. They don't bleed, but it's a start.]
