[The response is soft, immediate. It's true; the Shogun's lightning scorched him pretty badly at the time, but it's been healed over for months now. He just... keeps forgetting exactly where and when he is.
From the way she moves, he doesn't think she's a threat. And yet, the tension in his sword arm doesn't release, and his instincts swing wildly between extremes: he can't know who is and isn't a threat--but she doesn't seem--but he can't--
Kazuha takes a deep breath, in through his nose and out through his mouth. He closes his eyes and wills his sword to fade, which it does, dissolving into little spots of light before disappearing entirely. He can summon it again in an instant, if he needs to, and that soothes him. This forest may have the power to trick both his mind and his senses, but he will not allow it to turn him into someone he is not.
He opens his eyes, and offers her a small, strained smile.]
I don't want to hurt you. So please, don't be afraid.
