Yes, if you re-read the chapter Thistle accidentally revive Marcille out of fear.. Since he can't directly harm The Winged Lion
Yes.... plus you should remember the Sword is ALIVE (a.k.a Kensuke)@ansonh92 I'm guessing laios managed to shake the table enough or alternatively kensuke managed to move the sword themselves. And then Thistle didn't kick the sword, rather the sword fell onto their foot coming off the table. It hit the top of Thistle's foot, not something you'd manage with a kick.
