Ramza rose from his stool and walked over to the sword rack with a nod of understanding directed at Sephiroth as he passed. The cloth-covered blade was a little over his head, but still well within reach. He drew back the cloth, and paused.

"Masamune," he gasped. He turned to the swordsman. "You wield the Masamune," he informed him, just in case Sephiroth was not yet aware of the fact. Ramza had not come to Aqures Ixen knowing who Sephiroth was (as many Heroes had), but he certainly knew of the legendary blade.

"And you will let me handle it," he clarified, taking the blade from the wall as he spoke, because it would take a better man than him to pass up the opportunity to hold one of the great swords of Ivalice legend.
