Your pardon, but I am unavailable. If you will, leave a message and I will answer as soon as I may.

Nothing personal. Or valuable. There's a good chance whatever loaner you give me might get broken or lost down there, if things get hairy.

[ Maglor smiles wryly ]

Whatever you break we can reforge - that is not a problem. But if you want something large, it will have to be Maedhros' spare.

[ he opens a cupboard to reveal several blades ]

My brother is used to fighting with only one hand, although he has a replacement, now. So his blade is straight, unlike mine, which is curved.

[ The one he brings down is clearly sized for someone seven feet or more, a long straight blade, elegant and functional. Cloud will find it exquisitely balanced and probably surprisingly light, especially with his strength ]

He would not object to it being put to good use.

[...well, it does look really nice so it would be rude to refuse even trying it out, right? Oh shit and it's balanced so well, and it might not be the weight he's used to but it's a lot bigger than the other ones so his reach won't be too badly affected.]

...You're sure. Maybe I should ask the guy myself so I don't look like a mooch or something.

Ask for Maedhros, if you like. But I don't think my brother will mind.

If you say so, then, I guess I have no choice... [please cloud, you want the shiny cool big knight sword to play with] -uh, can I get one for my friend too? Until his is finished?

I can ask him if you want. [ Maglor laughs ] I honestly don't think he would mind. But we only made him one spare. The only other blade I have here that is like it is Fingon's, but Fingon is shorter than I, and his blade is sized appropriately. Unless you friend knows how to employ a single-edged blade? He or she could use mine, in that case.

action;

[moseyin]

No, he- he's used to a single-edged sword, actually. That might work out better for him.

He can have my spare then - I used to use a double-handed style, so I still prefer a single edge rather than a double! It has a slight curve, but hopefully not one he will find too cumbersome.

No, Zack can handle anything. He'll be fine. [Still, it feels wrong taking some other guy's weapons when he expressed a concern for their safety.] Look, you two- you'll be okay, if things get hairy? You won't need these?

[ Maglor shakes his head with a smile ]

I can't really manage to properly dual wield any more. And besides, what good would it do me? I cannot fight a falling star. Not with a blade. And I am not my Arafinwean cousins, with power and skill enough to perhaps turn it aside. I am no good here.

[moseyin]

[wh a t the fuck] Well. Okay, cool. I guess I'll be borrowing these, thanks.

Good fortune!
