[DaReaperMan]

Siglos cocked his head, before slowly nodding.

"...I-i'll...r-refrain from...analyzing it, i-if t-that would b-be an issue..." Siglos said. After hearing the otherworldly noises of Erebus's armor, he wasn't exactly eager to concentrate his Mana Hearing on another unknown artifact.

"W-well... they overwhelmed Noah instantly when she tried sensing the magic of them..." Shalor murmured quietly before shaking himself and turning to Jeanne and saw her sword "shouldn't you have your sword repaired... Jeanne...?" Shalor asked

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Well, I wouldn't know. I haven't exactly taken a blow in quite a while to test its durability, and I've no Mana Sense to see the enchantment itself..." Jeanne said, her eyes staying on her sword even as she glanced up to Siglos slightly.

"I-I s-suppose t-that's true" Siglos said, awkwardly chuckling.

"W-well... they overwhelmed Noah instantly when she tried sensing the magic of them..." Shalor murmured quietly before shaking himself and turning to Jeanne and saw her sword "shouldn't you have your sword repaired... Jeanne...?" Shalor asked

"T-that must be... quite powerful then..." Siglos murmured, his enhanced hearing allowing him to pick on on Shalor's mummers. His eyes lingered on the boy for a moment, before slowly turning to Jeanne.

"I-I could c-certainly repair the blade, i-if you d-desire. I-it's in...q-quite poor condition..."

 

[azontr]

"W-well... they overwhelmed Noah instantly when she tried sensing the magic of them..." Shalor murmured quietly before shaking himself and turning to Jeanne and saw her sword "shouldn't you have your sword repaired... Jeanne...?" Shalor asked

"I'd... rather not. This sword was a gift from... from my master. I'd rather it be left as it is." Jeanne murmured.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"I'd... rather not. This sword was a gift from... from my master. I'd rather it be left as it is." Jeanne murmured.

"What if it b-breaks?" Shalor asked

 

[Backbackback]

Erebus squatted down, pulling a set of black machetes, which appear to be throwing knives given his stature. He slowly began sharpening them. After a while, he places them back in their holsters, and pulls a set of arrows. He reaches over to his right metal arm, the Rakshashin turned a knob, revealing a chamber where he can load the arrows. Pulling the trigger on the ballista, it made a metal clanking sound, indicating that it's locked and loaded. On his other hand, which was partially mechanized, he went to grab a grappling hook, attaching it to the slit in his forearm.

During this time, he was listening to their conversation and waited for when will they start.

 

[azontr]

"What if it b-breaks?" Shalor asked

Jeanne looked up at Shalor, before simply smiling. "My master was a very... sentimental man. This sword was passed down to him from his master, and then he passed it down to me. He made it a point to never let anybody touch it without his permission, which he... can't give, not anymore."

 

[DaReaperMan]

"...oh... I... I'm sorry for bringing it up..." Shalor murmured, bowing his head

 

[azontr]

"...It's fine, Shalor. He... He was a very great man. Taught me everything I know of swordsmanship and Martial Arts, before he passed..." Jeanne muttered, gently unsheathing her sword. It was broken, chipped, rusted, in poorer condition than most weapons any Warrior or knight would wield. Yet... Jeanne kept the thing, unwilling to let it go or repair it.

"And this was his most prized possession..."

 

[DaReaperMan]

"Then... then can you have s-someone make a sheath for it... so it can be preserved?" Shalor asked quietly

 

[azontr]

"...." Jeanne breathed out, "I don't.. I don't know. This sword is very important to me..."

 

[DaReaperMan]

"I know but... you'll be worse off if it breaks, even if you want to keep it in it's condition you can at least make it so it won't break on you..." Shalor said

 

[azontr]

"I... suppose that makes sense. You're right that I should-.... Heh. Sorry. I made this all about me, didn't I?" Jeanne said awkwardly, simply moving to sheathe her blade.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

“I-I could…certainly make you a…custom scabbard, Jeanne. O-one that would…keep its c-conditioning from…worsening…” He said softly, raising his hand.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"I... suppose that makes sense. You're right that I should-.... Heh. Sorry. I made this all about me, didn't I?" Jeanne said awkwardly, simply moving to sheathe her blade.

"No it's okay, this is about helping you, right?" Shalor responded with a small smile

 

[azontr]

“I-I could…certainly make you a…custom scabbard, Jeanne. O-one that would…keep its c-conditioning from…worsening…” He said softly, raising his hand.

"No it's okay, this is about helping you, right?" Shalor responded with a small smile

Jeanne breathed out, "We can... focus on my sword and its condition later. Besides, it's not like I require a sword made of physical matter to fight."

 

[DaReaperMan]

"Yeah, yeah! ... I can barely use Chi honestly." Shalor responded with a stressed chuckle

 

[azontr]

"Yeah, yeah! ... I can barely use Chi honestly." Shalor responded with a stressed chuckle

"We... don't call it Chi, where I come from. In my country, we don't really call it anything..." Jeanne said, chuckling a bit as she scratched her cheek with her left hand.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"Well... um... Siglos can you start on that scabbard while we figure out a place to train here...?" Shalor said after a moment of silence

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos hesitated for a moment, before nodding his head, his ears twitching visibly.

“…Erm…S-sure…I-if that’s w-what Jeanne w-wants. I…I can have I-it ready…by the t-time y-you three g-get back…”

 

[azontr]

"You... don't have to do that, Siglos. I'll manage fine without a sheathe for a rusty old sword, for now. You should take the time to relax, instead." Jeanne said with a small smile.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"But it'd be nice, and if you find it calming it'd be even better...!" Shalor responded with a slight nod

 

[Backbackback]

Erebus looks at them, taking a deep breath before standing up and using the giant sword to support himself, grabbing it with his metal arm.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"You... don't have to do that, Siglos. I'll manage fine without a sheathe for a rusty old sword, for now. You should take the time to relax, instead." Jeanne said with a small smile.

“I-it’s…n-not a problem, J-Jeanne. H-honestly, I’m more f-comfortable w-with m-my tools t-than...o-out here..." Siglos said softly, flashing her a soft smile.

"...A-and...i-if the swords is i-important to you...I would be...honored, t-to provide it protection..."

 

[azontr]

Jeanne breathed out, "I won't stop you if you desire to work on a sheathe... Do as you wish, I suppose."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos nodded, flashing her a soft smile.

"...I-if you t-tell me y-your masters name...I c-can...engrave it into the m-material as well, if y-you'd like..." He offered softly.

 

[azontr]

Jeanne's eyes widened. "His... his name...?"

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos stared at her blankly for a moment, cocking his head.

"...Yes. O-or a nickname or t-title...i-if y-you'd like t-to honor h-him t-that way..." Siglos murmured.

 

[azontr]

"You... don't have to do that, Siglos. It's fine, really." Jeanne said, simply smiling. "I'll... honor him through memory."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"O-oh! M-my...m-my apologies." Siglos said softly. He hesitated, before slowly nodding to himself.

"...D-do y-you have...a-any specific r-requests? I...I c-can i-include...a-anything y-you wish, m-magic or otherwise..."

 

[azontr]

"Not particularly, no... I'd just... like it to be durable." Jeanne said, "And light, for easy portability."

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(Well apparently I didn't miss anything important)

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Not particularly, no... I'd just... like it to be durable." Jeanne said, "And light, for easy portability."

"...D-durable...and...e-easy to carry..." Siglos murmured. He thought for a moment, before slowly nodding.

“Y-yeah…y-yeah! I c-can c-certainly d-do that for you J-Jeanne."

 

[azontr]

Jeanne nodded, "Alright, Siglos... Thank you. I can pay you for your services, if you'd like."

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Jeanne nodded, "Alright, Siglos... Thank you. I can pay you for your services, if you'd like."

Siglos quickly shook his head.

"...I-I c-couldn't ask m-money f-from y-you, Jeanne. T-think o-of it a-as a...gift." Siglos said, flashing her a smile.

"...I-I'm h-happy to make...a-anything y-you may need..."

 

[azontr]

"Well... You aren't asking for the money, are you? I'm giving it. Think of it as a gift in return." Jeanne said with a wide grin. Clearly, Siglos was getting rewarded whether he liked it or not, the girl's faith compelling her to reward him.

Siglos's eyes widened for a moment, before a soft chuckle escaped his lips.

"W-well, I-I can h-hardly say n-no to a..g-gift...i-it w-wouldn't be p-proper..." He murmured, gingerly twisting a lock of his hair with his fingers. He wouldn't admit it but...he was already imagining the sound of a few more coins falling into his coin purse.

"...B-but...I've taken e-enough of y-your time. I d-don't mean t-to hold u-up y-your...training s-session!" He said, flashing her a grin.

"...B-but...I've taken e-enough of y-your time. I d-don't mean t-to hold u-up y-your...training s-session!" He said, flashing her a grin.

"Well... We'd still need to actually find a place to train, given we can't leave the city." Jeanne said, letting out a sharp sigh. "I've no idea if Aegis has any open areas where we can practice Martial Arts, but I sincerely doubt it.."

 

[DaReaperMan]

"Well... We'd still need to actually find a place to train, given we can't leave the city." Jeanne said, letting out a sharp sigh. "I've no idea if Aegis has any open areas where we can practice Martial Arts, but I sincerely doubt it.."

"Well, an open area that seems reinforced should work..." Shalor murmured

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Well... We'd still need to actually find a place to train, given we can't leave the city." Jeanne said, letting out a sharp sigh. "I've no idea if Aegis has any open areas where we can practice Martial Arts, but I sincerely doubt it.."

Siglos hesitated for a moment, his ears twitching.

"W-well...I k-know o-of...a...open p-plaza...t-that should b-be...e-empty t-this a-around t-this time..." Siglos said softly.

"...A-as l-long a-as y-you...d-don't d-destroy a-anything...y-you could u-use it f-for some...l-light practice..."

Siglos hesitated for a moment, his ears twitching.

"W-well...I k-know o-of...a...open p-plaza...t-that should b-be...e-empty t-this a-around t-this time..." Siglos said softly.

"...A-as l-long a-as y-you...d-don't d-destroy a-anything...y-you could u-use it f-for some...l-light practice..."

Jeanne tilted her head, "Oh? I didn't expect Aegis to have such an area, given how crowded the city is..."
