At least now you feel like you have the energy to swing your sword, even if a bit more meat wouldn’t be bad… but that’s for another time. “So I probably won’t be at the best of my abilities. While you had three days to recover. Don’t you think that’s a bit unfair?” You ask, but you do pick up your wrapped sword.
Salicera gets the meaning behind your words — hey, maybe you are actually learning a thing or two from Rubida! — and laughs, standing up as well.
“That’s what I was waiting for! I don’t have a sword with me, I will have to check what they do have in the Temple. You can use yours of course.”
“Are you sure?” You unwrap it and take it out of the scabbard with a fluid movement. You haven’t touched it since the time it got plunged into the monster inside the Well, since Ansàrra saved you—
It still feels just as light and as balanced in your hand as always. The edge catches the light of the sun.
“I am sure indeed. After all I have to give you some sort of advantage, don’t you think? I surely do not want this to get boring!” She walks at a brisk pace towards the closest Temple entrance.
You don’t doubt she will receive what she asked for in a very short time. Rubida has a way with words, but Salicera has a way with — with people.
Waiting for her, you take a few swings with the sword, appreciating how it cuts through air with a sharp wheeze. It’s definitely well-balanced, and the scabbard fits perfectly. It’s a great gift.
You are not used to receiving any besides from Master. It’s a novel sensation.
