[ Jing Yuan can't quite divine that Shinjiro's intentions weren't great, so it is with little surprise that he finds the answer acceptable, focusing on the rest of what he has to say or do for now.
Also, he supposes that was a bit more abrupt than he would've liked, but even he has moments in his old age. He does summon away his weapon, though.
Totally figuring he surprised him for obvious reasons and nothing else. ]
...Ah, that is also a suitable choice.
Of course it seems to be a weapon of some sort, but it isn't exactly the kind that would accidentally knock aside someone standing a few feet away, hm?
[ Personas are one thing, but the people around here are weird in a way that nearly puts the Dark Hour to shame. He hasn't been here very long, but he can figure out that much; even if it was a hard pull to swallow.
The question earns a faint scoff, and a shake of the head to go with it. ]
It ain't a weapon. [ Not...traditionally, anyway. ] Not real.
[ The fear is real, certainly, the feeling of pulling the trigger is real...but that's about it. ]
It's something I got no use for anymore. [ And yet, his fingers still tighten on it, gaze flickering. ] But getting rid of it wouldn't feel right, either.
[ A quick headshake in lieu of an answer, but pretty much, yes. It looks normal enough, until a closer look sees the odd shape and the embossed S.E.E.S. on the metal barrel. Even so, he can see how any quick glance would make it seem otherwise.
Sentimental...maybe. A gift...definitely not. ]
'S complicated. [ That's putting it lightly enough, really. ] You can't really call it a gift, though.
[ Not when he had demanded his way into getting it the first time, and had to have it thrust upon him the second. ]
...An object then granted to you for certain purposes, that might have to do with this S.E.E.S, I assume.
[ Jing Yuan puts it out there without necessarily asking for details because that might be a bag of worms. Such is the implications surrounding the word 'complicated', after all, but whatever the case, he will address the other matter. ]
And like a memento.
[ He will offer something also like an out as well, though. ]
Ah, and while we're talking, as well as bound to be working together in the future...I believe we should do something like an introduction. I am Jing Yuan. It's a pleasure meeting you, despite the abrupt nature of our situation.

[ Interesting. Jing Yuan figured that it must have been, but appearances are truly deceiving. A prop can be just as useful for a focus, if not moreso.
Though there are also advantages to it being a weapon as well. ]
...It holds some form of sentimental value to you, then. Was it a gift by someone you knew?
[ Or perhaps a reward of some sort that reminds one of something quite nice? ]
