[Rui takes the sword as well. He takes a breath and tries to think of trusting Tsumugi. He wants it to work, so he'll try even silly ideas in his head. He nods at the question.]

1, 2, 3, Pull!

[And nothing happens. The sword is still firmly in the stone.

Rui chuckles and lets go.]

Well, it was worth the try at least, right?

[He doesn't look directly at Tsumugi. He knows he's at fault for it failing, and hopes that Tsumugi isn't mad about that. After a brief moment of trying to figure out how to move on from this, he speaks up again.]

Perhaps we should go to a cafe and talk about our play ideas? If you'd like to anyway. I'm sure there are a lot of directions that we can go with the trust weapon concept.
