There was a difference in using a knife, and a using a knife. The former, Thomas could do, common stuff where knives were needed, like slice apples into wedges, bleeding juices from stems of alchemical plants, the small stuff. But combat with a knife? That's a completely different story, and as Keystone suggested maybe it might do the boy good to learn a few ways to stab someone. There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man and bring him to the ground. You can beat him, you can cheat him,you can treat him bad and leave him when he's down.[color=bedded]"Right, I guess, I meant like, I mean, I haven't used a knife to y'know, harm someone. And I didn't expect that to be a hairdresser's use of a knife."[/color] Keystone's answer was pretty obvious and his advice well warranted. Yes, Thomas kept a knife for purposes of preparing ingredients and other non-killing things. Although certainly there was one time where Master Wolfgang nearly had Thomas ritualistically kill a poor innocent offering for a ritual, but fortunately the crazy old mage called it off after finding his missing sock, no longer requiring him to send Thomas to consort with fiendish extraplanar entities much to both the boy and his victim's relief.

[color=bedded]"I'll be up shortly Kyra, breakfast's a meal I'd rather not skip. Even if the innkeep's having some issues keeping his down."[/color] And Cyneburg appeared, not quite the orc Thomas was looking for, or had hoped had somehow remained, but the druid was okay, they hadn't talked too much with each other, but they fought together so the lad trusted her a bit more than the newcomer dwarf. [color=bedded]"Morning Cyneburg, Uh, not much, we got a newcomer to our group, a dwarven knife-fighting barber. Nor wasn't it Sir Dwarf?[/color] Just a formality, although Thomas still found it odd a barber went around stabbing people. It was like someone out of a twisted musical, a demon barber, who shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter where heard from again... [color=bedded]"Oh and there's a betting pool going around about getting Keystone to make the innkeeper here throw up twice a day or something. And Keystone's making breakfast, not while making Femnal upchuck, oh and Kyra wanted us up when we're done eating to discuss... Things.[/color]

Thomas's recap for the druidic orc was hopefully all complete. Minus the chamberpot incident.
