[On the one hand, he's from a warrior culture and understands the impulse. On the other, a sword isn't really a go-to for self-defense only. Also, a sword with a name is definitely going to have some added importance he doesn't want to trample. Humans don't have claws. It's fair that they get hung up on weapons.]
You're not worried a sword's gonna make you look like you're spoiling for a fight? Have you considered a taser?
{Jin Guangyao with claws is actually a pretty terrifying thought!}
My sword can wrap around my waist, so it can be easily hidden. I don't want to fight. I'm not good at it. I just want the weapon I am accustomed to for self-defense.
[Wow, sword guys. He's glad he doesn't have to worry about this for a long time. But he can imagine Hudson in the same position--sort of, he can't see his elder as an inmate--and he's sure the sword would be a sore spot.]
Okay, this still feels like inviting trouble. So. Here's my offer.
[The admiral can do magic junk. And Brooklyn's tangled with a few tricksters, admittedly usually the magical kind.]
You're only with me for a couple of weeks. So I'll ask for this to be transferred to any other warden you get, and they can change it if they want. Any time that sword gets drawn, I get an alert on my communicator. If it's self defense, you'll want backup anyway.
{Guangyao perks up at the deal and smiles, nodding immediately. He moves into a graceful bow, thanking his Warden before he speaks a word.}
I agree to those terms. Any time I draw it, I will need help. I won't use it to hurt anyone I dislike or hate. I'm not a physically strong person anyway.

Are you familiar with a taser? They're pretty new to me, too, but they pretty much just shock people and knock them over.

And that is more acceptable than potentially giving someone a cut?
