As Musashi talks about Miyamoto Iori, it's then that it really strikes home for Lucy that she's actually telling the truth.
She really is an alternate version of this guy, this legendary swordsman from old Japan. Because when she talks about this Iori kid, it's not rote or rehearsed or overdramatic. Musashi's wearing the expression of a woman wistfully thinking back to fond memories with a friend, a real friend, real memories. A woman who really has traveled through multiple worlds, multiple times, met multiple versions of the people she knew.
Quietly, while Kojiro is introduced and waxes dramatic, Lucy's brain explodes a little. And then when it settles down, when she's more settled in the knowledge of what Musashi is, Magisteria seems a little less weird, relatively speaking. She's gotten to used to this magic-tech city, and people from lands straight out of fantasy novels, and now two people who are alternate versions of famous historical figures.
Her brain feels full enough to burst. But it's a nice distraction from her own thoughts. So.
"Real subtle," she agrees dryly. "Was this Kojiro guy as much of a dick as this movie is making him out to be? No, don't tell me-- he was even worse." Her eyes are bright with the teasing, a little smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
