General, I've got good news and bad news. Got somewhere private enough that we can talk?

Open to Network, not fail-locked:
So, uh, I got a question for you guys. Anybody know where I can get a sword around here? Mine seems to have not made the trip with me and it feels weird to not have it, so...[sheepish look is go] I'd just really appreciate it if I could get a new one or something. Or if somebody could tell me they've seen my old one. It's about six feet long, weighs around 50 pounds...pretty hard to miss, but I can't find it anywhere.

I don't think I have one like the one you're missing. . .

[Headtilt; the way he's saying that...] But you have others or something?

I have one more with me. It isn't as strong as the other but it's still a good sword.

Hey, any sword that does what it's supposed to is a good one, I'd think. [a pause, then he sheepishly rubs the back of his neck.] How big is it, though? Last thing I wanna do is hurt someone cause I can't re-adjust to using a smaller blade.

It's-- ( Some shuffling on Spain's end. He draws a sword from his side and tries to hold it up to the screen. It's a regular sized rapier, give or take an inch or so. Toledo steel, light, very ornate. It's rather obvious it's not a sword one would carry into battle regularly but a sword is still a sword. ) -- This one. It's not as good as my other one, I'm afraid.

[A sword is a sword, but a sword is only functional if it does what it's designed to do: work as a weapon. That thing looks like it'll fall apart in five seconds flat, and it certainly doesn't look heavy enough for Zack to learn to use properly.]

I...don't think I could use it, man. I trained with blades that look a lot heavier than that one, so...[sheepish look. He appreciates the offer, truly, but...]

( There isn't any offense taken and Spain laughs, )

Sí, sí, but it was worth a try, no? Why were you asking?

[Well, at least he's friendly! That's a good thing in Zack's book, so he'll just grin, still sheepish.]

Cause I feel weird without one. I've been using a sword for about six years now, and I haven't gone anywhere without one for more than a day or two. Feels kinda strange.

[And he feels a little defenseless at the same time, but that's not getting mentioned. Nope.]
