Metaphor
Summary:
For all who draw the sword will die by
the sword.
Shigure knew how to transplant the Jagan, Shigure knew how to fight with a sword. Shigure could teach you all there was to know about slashing and blocking and dodging and he even taught you how to sheathe your sword properly. Only fools and klutzes made noise when putting their weapon away. If you were a master, you did it silently.
Shigure taught you this and more. He demonstrated it in battle and he did so in bed. Silence is the key.
It's you, who is the master now, who sheathes the sword silently, letting not even the slightest noise escape. Still, sounds reach your ear, but you are not to blame. You tried to teach him, yet he didn't see the point and you humour him, because this is his way and because he has never learned how to sheathe a weapon. No need for that when you have a flower you can transform.
He doesn't know how to do it and so it will always be you who sheathes and who is the master in your encounters.
