[It isn't right to say that Ruby falls into a sort of trance when Penny's weapon form appears, but something about her just kind of... shifts. She's always been better practicing fighting with (non-sentient) weapons than she was at dealing with people, so practicing with a weapon partner isn't all that different. In one fluid motion she reaches out just as the scythe begins dipping towards the ground, using its momentum to spin it in an arc once before resting the long blade against the ground.
Okay... so far, so good. She's heard stories about how meisters incompatible with their weapon partners couldn't even lift them, so... this is a good sign! Right?]
You may be the weapon, but I gotta look out for you too!
