They permit me my sword? It can't be that bad.
They permit more than that... if you are willing.
Even if they didn't, there's other ways you can get a weapon.
And a sword is all you need to feel confident?
I can kill with any sword. [He's fought with inadequate weapons before, and has found that they make the fight inadequate also.] But I prefer my own.
Yes. [No hesitation. Whether it makes him feel invincible is another matter entirely.]
Strike a man down with any sword? That shows that you know your way around. And it is ... nice that you have such a preference. How does it feel to hold your own sword in your hands? Far more comforting and familiar, yes?
Interesting, it always amazes me how little it takes for you humans to feel safe.

Yes. Like speaking to an old friend.

For over ten thousand years I've fed upon humans, watching your kind cower behind caves or religious icons as if it made them safe. [Small Wraith laugh]

[He's one of those sorts. Richard smiles a little.]
Steel always stands true, I find.

But your blade in particular more so than the others?
Just a sword?
If you don't know why, I can't explain why.
If you don't know why, I can't explain why.
I suspect to anyone else it would only look like a regular sword.
Is there a reason this interests you?

... fed on humans?
I've never found anything I cannot kill with a sword.

[ Aw, he won't play with him. ]
It's because I have an interest in swords, too.

Is that so? [The smile is still on his lips.]
Oh, yes.
I find them all to be equally unique and exciting in their own way.

You don't think that's due to the one who wields them?
Of course, it is.
That's why they're all different.
