"Are you good with a sword?" Unfortunately, it's a point Tidus wants to discuss. Would be good to know for the future. "I know someone on Purple who has some you can borrow. And if I don't need mine, you can borrow it. There's no point me carrying it if I'm using magic."

And hey, who knows? They might have another mission where a weapon isn't as useful as some kind of spell, and he could always give up the blade. Or they might end up somewhere with the things lying around for once.
