Look at how well-behaved all these pandas are around WangJi...must inwardly debate if he has a secret affinity for animals. Will that knowledge ever be useful? Probably not.

But the creatures keeping with the man now is useful. Tidus follows where WangJi points and puts his hand to it on the bamboo itself; looking back at the creatures and tilting his head, humming thoughtfully. No, that should be about right. So he lifts the blade, a trail of bubbles coming off from it as he brings it down, making a clean sweep in that gets a small 'aha!' out of him, proud. Look, he wasn't always doing this when he first started...

From there though, awkward as it may be, Tidus drags the longer piece of the bamboo to it level with what's chopped, repeats the process until he comes to an end. Not bothering with the leaves sticking out this way and that. Now they just had to carry the pieces back.

...which, considering the state of WangJi with his panda entourage, it's a good thing that he can make them disappear from sight, along with his sword. Glance at the pandas and remark with a small grin-

"If you're not careful, they'll follow you onto the train!"
