[Mitsunari hasn't consciously realized it until just now, but Ragna is acting unusual. He's used to irateness and disrespect, not whatever this is. Mitsunari is wary of this change.]
...Why? Aim to destroy it and I will break your neck.
[And he is dead serious.
But it doesn't seem to him that that's what Ragna wants to do. Ragna, he finally realizes, has his own dead loved ones. Of course he does. He wouldn't have reacted to the bird the way he did if he didn't. It's not any concern of Mitsunari's, he really couldn't care less...
But aside from spite, he has no real reason not to give it to him, and it's... harder these days to maintain the same level of animosity towards Ragna that he'd previously managed. October lingers on his mind.
And if nothing else, there are other birds, and they are not Mitsunari's to hoard. Any other object he'd just throw at him, but this is different; he holds it out in the palm of his hand and watches Ragna like a hawk.]
