The sword pointedly remained silent for several seconds - the blade didn't give off any 'feelings' to its wielder, so it was hard to tell if it was insulted, quiet, or simply contemplating how to respond.  After half a minute, the sword finally managed a firm reply.  [color=lightblue]"The person who wields me also tends to become a more proficient fighter - or should I say when I wield [i]them[/i]."[/color]  Valiant paused for a moment.  [color=lightblue]"I cut through more than specters - a strong blow from me can dent the most well crafted blades and slice through armor."[/color]

Valiant waited for a moment.  [color=lightblue]"I apologize if my abilities are not satisfactory."[/color]
