Miwa couldn't help but let out a rather proud smile as she heard Fia commenting about the weapon and praising her. Truth be told, it was far from being a conventional weapon and similarly, it was far from being an easy weapon to wield effectively, let alone master it, something Miwa was rather proud of herself.

[color=6ecff6]"The Ama Matoi is indeed quite an unconventional weapon. Even if the handling is quite similar to a long spear when the wagasa is closed, it completely changes when it is open, becoming an almost completely different weapon. The way one fights with it reflects both the fighting style and the beliefs of the Shirakawa Temple: balance even when fighting. It is both a defensive weapon and an offensive one. If you are skilled with it, flowing between offensive and defensive stances smoothly becomes one of it's main strengths."[/color] Miwa explained with a proud smirk.

Accepting Jazdia's offer to sit down with a smile, Miwa quietly listened to Jazdia's inquiry about purifying curses. Even if it was quite subtle, Miwa did catch the almost imperceptible tone in Jazdia's voice, indicating it was something quite important to her. Immediately after Miwa noticed it, her expression changed to a more supportive and kind one.

[color=6ecff6]"It is honestly hard to say. Curses are extremely varied and different, even more so if one is talking about curses from a foreign land..."[/color] Miwa said with a thoughtful expression.

[color=6ecff6]"Most simple curses are quite easily purified simply by using the purified water, but for stronger, more complex curses, proper preparation and a purifying ritual is needed. While it can still be performed by a single priest, especially if this one is the Shirakawa Temple's current miko, it requires some knowledge about the curse itself and more importantly the proper location..."[/color] Miwa said, a noticeable proud tone in her voice as she mentioned the Miko part, before it quickly changed to a more troublesome expression at the end.

[color=6ecff6]"Normally, purification rituals are made in the sacred waterfall near our main temple deep within the mountains... Should we, by luck, encounter a pure and clean river having both a waterfall and not being tainted by any kind of power, a different ritual supposedly could be made to bless and consecrate it... Although it is exceedingly rare to find a the proper location and conditions to do so..."[/color] Miwa completed with a rather troubled expression.

[color=6ecff6]"When this journey is over, I would like to invite you to our main temple. It will be a rather long journey, but I am confident that with enough preparation and research about said curse, it can most definitely be purified."[/color] Miwa said, gently approaching Jazdia and speaking in a lower and softer tone, reminding her that despite her looks and personality, she was still a proper Miko of a temple and knew how to help and soothe as much as she knew how to defend and attack.
