[Nyara doesn't want to outright hand Need over because, again, after getting whisked to New Jersey she is deathly afraid that it could happen again but without the sword, her only sure ally. If he actually takes her, Nyara will look dismayed and increasingly anxious, probably hugging herself.
Sensitized as Miguel is to weird things happening to his body, he can feel something on touching Need's hilt, some aspect of how it had felt to be Healed by her. Some echo of Need as something quite large and holding back, with a dispassionate interest in his retinas, the talons he's keeping folded up inside his feet, whatever he uses to interface with his suit. She's interested in any body and its flows of life and vitality, but his is unusual.
She grumbles irritably and has a voice that is sort of a voice, deep and gravelly, but is also sounds like metal ringing on metal or rasping on stone, and various scraps of imagery and other sensation that people generally learn to tune out quickly. If she was in a comic book, she'd have custom speech bubbles with a lot of faint things happening in the backgrounds.]
:Yes, hello, whatever. Boy, it will go easier for you if you think of me as an artificial intelligence. One of those - ugh - uploaded oneself types, I suppose. It's a useful metaphor.:
