Hijikata-san was the Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi! He was a really great man. [He knows by now that people have come from all different types of worlds but if there's a chance to talk about his former master then he will. Even if she probably has no idea what he's talking about.]
I guess you could kind of call me that? I guess a sword could be a vassal. Sounds pretty good so yeah. I was his vassal!
[Yep, he's really misunderstanding as was expected.]
Whoa, really? I didn't know there were spears like you. [There are spears of his kind but they're big muscular men. She's pretty different from his usual idea of what spears look like.]
But I'm glad to have someone like you on our side! A good spear always comes in handy.
[If she could be a literal inanimate spear, she feels like her life would be 100x easier.]
Yes, well...it's convenient for a sword to be on hand also. Being able to accommodate for different ranges allows us to work well together, I think.
[Swords fight in ranges spears can't. She won't drop a casual "well it isn't a problem for me cause I know what I'm doing" though, since...a bit rude.]
[He doesn't reply to her for a bit as he focuses on a fury of those vines coming at them. At the very least, it's obvious how much he cares about responsibilities and he isn't taking this lightly at all.
Only when they are seemingly done does he say anything.]
[Oh, well...that's fine. She was fairly comfortable continuing conversation while fighting, but she figures not everyone is. Not a problem.
She'll finish up things on her end too, looking quite comfortable afterwards. Her spear leeches life energy from living things, so it's kept her fairly topped up despite all the fighting.]
My name? [She turns to face him, offering a dip of her head in greeting as she gives her name.] It's Gwendolyn. T'is a pleasure, sir.
Gwendolyn, huh? [It isn't a spear name he's at all knowledgeable of but she's clearly not Japanese so it doesn't stand out to him.]
So your master is Lord Odin, you said? [Nobody else has a saniwa that's a lord so that's pretty neat.] I wish I had known a spear was around here! I would have reached out to say hi earlier.
I'm Izuminokami Kanesada, I focus on not only beauty but also practicality. I'm pretty useful so you can definitely rely on me. [How many times does he give this type of introduction?
Every time.]
But you can call me Izuminokami. A lot of people have struggled with my name and I wouldn't want a comrade to have a hard time over it. [He's just being thoughtful, right?]
Yeah, I get it. There's nothing like your name where I'm from.
[He's used to this by now and it wasn't offensive.]
If you need help saying it then just tell me. The full thing is kind of a mouthful but it's nice to have a name, isn't it? [They both weren't nameless weapons!]

[She can only rationalise it like so; the valkyries would gladly refer to themselves as Lord Odin's spears, so that means...]
Forgive me, but I do not recognise the name. You're something akin to a vassal of this person?

An unusual name, to be sure. I’ve never heard anything like it...err, that is in my homeland.
