He had not foreseen such stubbornness from X’yrin. They viewed weapons in a very different light, just as they did combat. Jaden had been taught to kill, rather than to fight out long drawn battles and weapons held the ability to much more easily and quickly kill than fighting flesh to flesh. The thrust of a blade was far more dangerous than the blunt attacks from paws to most any part of the body. But he could not present this as a reason to adopt armed combat to his beloved for he felt she hadn’t the intentions or need to kill.

He could only let his grin dip slightly in disappointment as she disassembled his reasoning and made his teasing seem like the male was stepping on his own tongue. He chose to drop the teasing in her favor and looked for a more sensible reason to arm her. Perhaps you are right, but that is assuming the armed attacker you seek to disarm is less skilled than you are. This isn’t always the case. There will always a warrior more skilled than you, and most definitely more skilled than I. If chance leads you fight such a combatant, wouldn’t the ability to blunt his blade with a weapon not made of your flesh find some value? A very small bit of worry might have shown in his expression for he realized a piece of truth then. Perhaps it was that he felt her inadequately armed to face a skilled swordsman or someone of the like. Knowing how ruff some of the relationships were Jaden had seen in his travels, the likely hood that Sangi’lak would forever live in peace was slim. He would feel better should such a day come knowing his beloved knew how to handle more than her beautiful body in a fight of weapons.




Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
