Right, so--is there anything that can be done to make a staff cool?

[Well.]

More deadly, like. If it needed to be used for offense. Or defense, even. S'ppose it wouldn't hurt if it looked cooler as well.

Comments

[sarcophage]

By a professional hand, yes.

[Which is to say,]

My own staff was recently augmented. You may examine it if you like.

[inkindled]

Really? Yeah! I mean, whenever. It hasn't got to be now. How was it changed? What did you have done, I mean--is it a blade as well?

[sarcophage]

It is. If you've your book at hand, I can draw its shape for you. If you like.

[inkindled]

Brilliant. Yeah-- yeah, I've got it here.

[sarcophage]

[Like magic, because it is magic, the inky line that appears on the page soon takes the shape of a rooster.]

[inkindled]

[Matthias studies it, with perhaps a bit too much intensity for a squiggly inky rooster outline.]

The curved bit is the blade?

[sarcophage]

[Pardon you, it is not squiggly, he is an artist.]

Which bit? Are you saying it's crooked?

[inkindled]

[Quickly--] Nooo, no--it's good. Better'n I can do, my lines are crap. Which're the sharp bits?

[sarcophage]

I thought it would be obvious.

[inkindled]

Well-- [shit, what an idiot] --yeah. 'Course. I think I know. Only I wanted to be sure I understand if I'm to try to make one for myself, but-- yeah, I understand.

Thanks.

[sarcophage]

Of course.

[Oh, Matthias. So precious. More seriously, though—]

If you'd like any assistance with it, don't hesitate to ask. I quite enjoy that sort of work.

[inkindled]

Yeah? Well--maybe. Or probably, really. As I haven't got any experience with it at all. If you mean that, I'll likely take you up on it.

[sarcophage]

Very good. I look forward to it.
