"Weapon," Gray answered immediately, feeling himself tense up as the kishin egg emerged from the trees.

It... really was bizarre-looking. He had never seen a kishin egg before now, and had only gone off descriptions of huge monsters from other people. The glinting teeth and claws detracted from the fluffy appearance of the thing, and the whole situation gave him a bad feeling in general.

"Are you a Meister?" he asked back, ready to either transform either way, whether it would be his arm or his whole body. If the other guy unluckily happened to be a Weapon as well, Gray could at least get a good solid hit in before being forced to retreat.

And if he happened to be a Meister... Gray wasn't particularly thrilled to try resonating with a complete stranger who didn't even seem human, but under duress like this, he'd take whatever he could get.
