[Action]

[Ikki shrugs lightly.]

I'm not sure about how it went with the Bronze and Silver Cloths, there were several candidates and all of them were trained for several years before taking a last test from what I know. I had no competition for the Phoenix Cloth but that didn't make it any easier, this cloth has had no owner since it was created in the ancient times so many had stopped expecting anyone to be able to become the Phoenix Saint.

I don't know if there was a method to select the candidates before they started training thought. I know that for the Gold Cloths one has to be of the same sign as the relevant Cloth. For example, I as a Leo could only train to become the Leo Saint.

[He hums as he thinks about her last question.]

Every cloth is related to the nature of their constellation, yes, but I'm not sure to which extent except for the cloths of my closer companions. But the Pegasus Cloth has wings, the Andromeda one has chains and so on.

Hn, if I had been in danger or gotten into a fight the box would have opened itself and the cloth would have come to my aid. But other than that it'll remain in the box until I open it, sleeping. Cloths are alive and sentient to a certain degree, that's why they know who their owner is and can't be fooled by any disguises or illusions.

[Ikki pulls the handle, lightly, almost just caressing it. Yet the box reacts and the upper lid opens automatically, a column of fire and light raising from the interior of the box immediately. The fire raises but nothing is burnt, neither it feels hot, its roar almost sounds like a bird's cry as the flames take the shape of a phoenix raising to the sky before it turns and goes back down landing on the box, as it does so the fire begins to vanish until all there's left is the phoenix cloth which mostly seems to be a mere model, despite it giving off the impression of glowing in flames.]

And that's why I didn't open it inside.

[Not that it would have hurt anyone or burned anything, but it would have probably caused even more impression than outside.]
