I was actually considering giving Ja'Far a sword so that I can write expert sword fights. It seems like something he would do in his spare time :P

It would certainly give him something to talk about with Aegon. Batarian fencing sword is something else he could try to requisition through Spectre supplies.

I used to fence when I was a kid, was the junior champion of the Highlands of Scotland at one stage. Though when I say kid, I mean like ten, and back then no one fought with any real skill. March up to the other guy and swing wildly was the order of the day, and since I was a tall kid with a long reach, I had a bit of an advantage. It's one of my regrets, dropping the sport when I started Academy.

I also remember my instructor saying that Epeé fencing was seeing a resurgence in popularity - relatively speaking - at the time due to a fencing scene in one of the James Bond movies that had come out. At that stage we were all too small/young to be using them though, so the swords we were using were closer to foils, though if I remember correctly they were still smaller and lighter than your usual tournament weapons.
