This is very confusing
An hour ago he was in handcuffs, surrounded by very noisy people. Worst of all, they took his sword, even though he was trying to cooperate. That should have been a killing offense - but this was not his age. At least they returned it to him, and Mr. Kenishi - the liason for whatever 'Big Hero 6' was, was very apologetic, kowtowing and apologizing every ten seconds. Despite the fact it was proper form, and he spoke the old form, easier for Hajime to follow, it got annoying very quickly too.

And this... base? Very strange place. Told to make himself comfortable - but not where anything useful was, he starts to wander more or less aimlessly.

She nods. "There are rules for how to cross the streets safely. I can show you how to get places when you're ready."

"I would prefer to know the things you deem necessary as soon as possible. We may be called into action, or have something required of us at any time."

"Soon as we're done eating, then. Although we don't always use normal means of getting around in an emergency."

"I understand. Some of us do not have your range of options. Alright, aside from crossing the street, what else seems essential knowledge to you?"

"You understand about light switches? Have they explained about money? And that you should hide your sword from anyone in public when it's not an emergency?"

He shakes his head. "Light switches? I had noticed you were not using lanterns... interesting. I am also familiar with the idea of money. I had not married, so my mother and her servant were still handling my concerns for finances."

Then he pauses. "Hide... my sword?" That's not going over well.

"I mean which kinds are used now and in what ways. But we'll help with that until you get the hang of it."

"People... don't walk around with a sword openly showing in non-emergency circumstances anymore. It would cause disturbances, and people trying to mess with your sword."

Yeah, that is a change he is really, really not liking. "They do not mind people bursting into flame, but swords cause disturbances?"

He takes a deep breath, trying to get his head around this - in a civilized age, swords were a sign of station and respect.

"And - money was not something that was given a great deal of attention. A lord, and whichever parent kept the home... and then the wife should be skilled in handling finances. That is... no longer the way of it?"

"Bursting into flame in public is also supposed to be just for emergencies. Any wielding of any kind of weapon or attack is supposed to be saved for emergencies."

"Household finances are often managed by one member of the household, but most individuals have to deal with money on a daily basis."

There's a long pause while he considers that.

"This has become a very strange place."

Amiko smiles sheepishly. "There's still plenty of opportunity to get as much practice as you like here."

"Yes... it is... not just a perceived loss of status. For the kensai, the sword is part of me. I cannot fathom leaving it behind. At least it is good to know there are still dojos."

"Oh, you don't have to leave it behind. you'll just have to wear The Coat in public. They're government-issue to any operatives using a katana. You keep the sword, but nobody sees the sword."
