After his display of unique swordwork, Dante soon became aware of something tightening around his back, a belt of shining Omnilium wrapping around his form like a shoulder strap. And so it was, to the large sheath he became aware of, securing crosswise over the leather strapping that secured Rebellion to his back. With still no other figure in sight, Dante was left to assume that this weapon was, in fact, some sort of sentient entity, and that offering had proved to be a bit more literal that he had guessed.
Not that it was necessarily a strange thing to Dante. He had dealt with talking and living weapons before, but thankfully this was proving not to be as annoying as his prime example, Agni & Rudra. While Zangetsu was still a heavier type of weapon than he was typically used to, it shouldn't get in his way majorly.
"You didn't get my name?" Dante replied to Zangetsu's question, a hint of mock surprise in his tone. "I mean, technically, I have a couple of names. But you... can call me Dante." Finished with the weapon for now, he returned it to the newly-formed sheath at his back. "So I guess you're Zangetsu then, or what?" He asked, however, at the living blade's comment about Dante only halfway knowing its name.
The weapon's final comment about testing Dante personally later one seemed a bit ominous, but it also brought to light how 'alive' this thing really was, to be and feel exhausted. But which man in the fountain? Probably one that disappeared or something when it changed.
"So I just have to live up to your 'test', huh?" Dante smirked - this weapon wasn't going to concede its true power until he could prove himself to it through whatever trial it had in mind. "Well, then, I'm looking forward to it," the Son of Sparda concluded, starting to pace back to the Coruscant gate from the fountain. "But if you can help it, let's get it over with soon and quick. I think that would benefit us both that way."
Before he reached the gate, he hoped. And it was a long trip to the gate; a couple of hours, on foot.
