[It's weird to be called by someone else. His body dissolves into light, and for one long, panicked moment, Yamato wonders if he still is a sword. He hadn't bothered to entertain the idea that he could be something else, because he'd so vehemently rejected the idea of being in anyone else's hands. And how can he know who he is if he doesn't know for certain what he is?
That fear is short-lived; as he settles into her hand, he can immediately tell he hasn't changed. But it feels so incredibly wrong to be in her hands, to be held by a different person, that he almost, almost tries to writhe away.
It's Otegine's voice that snaps him back to the present, yanking his focus from his own discomfort. The sound of his name from a friend is all he really needs to center himself, remembering Souji's words and clinging to them like a crutch. He can do this. He can do this for all of them.]
Otegine-san!
[His warning yell doesn't reach Otegine, of course. All he can do is watch as the rhino throws him aside. Watch, and follow his instincts--which are that of a weapon's, even now.
Immediately, he turns his attention to the creature, scanning it for weaknesses. A strike to the heart would be difficult unless it reared, and the neck is too large to slice through, not an ideal target with that horn.]
We might be able to pierce through the side. [It's hard to tell how tough its "skin" is; some ayakashi split and splash like water, but this one looks decidedly solid.] You can come in from behind but it might not do a lot of damage.
