In Fisher's view, the Steel Blade that Ossie held up with both hands was parallel to her face, causing Fisher to think that when the Steel Blade "spoke," it was as if Ossie was speaking too.
So, was it the Steel Blade greeting him or was it Ossie herself?
"...Hello."
After a second of silence, Fisher returned the greeting.
Hearing Fisher's words, the Steel Blade remained motionless, but Ossie, who was holding it, nodded her head and then gently hugged the Blade back to her chest, stroking its body.
Hmm, it seemed the greeting had been from Ossie after all, albeit expressed through the mouth of the Steel Blade.
However, Fisher clearly remembered that yesterday, the first to discover the giant creature under the water was Ossie herself, who even leapt down from the mast to tell Alagina about it.
That is to say, she could actually speak.
"..."
