It's dangerous to go alone...[/h3][@Rune_Alchemist][/center]
Nomura examined the flute with piqued interest, admiring both its craftsmanship and functionalities. A flute would indeed be an unassuming weapon, perfect for the sorts of confrontations Nomura would find himself in. Not only is it inconspicuous, but it could also serve as a distraction or spectacle to draw others in. It goes without saying, but Nomura was quite aware of the charming effects of music. Perhaps he could use such effects to his advantage, especially with the magical charms given to him? He wondered if his silver tongue also extended to music. In any case, it was almost the perfect weapon.

There was only one issue, however.

"[color=lavender]Ahh, what a wondrous weapon indeed, Lady Mie. The weight of the flute, the carving of the grooves... it is an excellent instrument indeed, both for slaughter and for mirth. Perhaps it sounds as good as it looks?[/color]" Nomura remarked as he brought the flute up to his mouth. Of course, his mask started to get in the way, the elongated beak-nose not helping with the positioning of the instrument. Of course, all this was quite exaggerated, but it was to make his point clear on the awkwardness of such a weapon in his disposal.

"[color=lavender]Maybe if I held it like this? No, [i]that would be extremely painful.[/i] Hm... perhaps I should move my mask out of the way? Of course, others would expect me to, with an instrument like this. No, no, it'd be counterproductive to reveal my face, wouldn't it? [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_xrHAHiCIo]That's what the point of the mask is,[/url] after all. Love the design, just not a fan of using it, personally.[/color]"

A bit after the words [i]fan[/i] left Nomura's mouth, he quickly came to a realization.

"[color=lavender]Ah, yes! A fan! You wouldn't happen to carry a war-fan, would you? Ah, yes, that would be quite fitting, indeed. It'd make sense for a merchant to have on their person, and it could even serve as a blunt instrument when folded up in the event bloodshed isn't the answer. And not only is it inconspicuous when it needs to be, but it also could add a layer of mystique to my disguise, hm? It would even allow me to direct others in combat, should the need arise. Yes, that would be a perfect weapon! I don't suppose you would have such a thing in your possession, no?[/color]"
