sharp as a knife

Quite honestly, Tucker was surprised when she answered his query about her ability; it wasn't because he was shocked about what it was or anything. It was more of the fact that there had never been a better timing for Adelene to suddenly show up. It was only recently he was brushing up on weapon duplication again. How long had it been since he'd made full duplicates? Centuries probably. The surprise never showed on his face, rather, it was a satisfied smile.

"Interesting.. I've met a few people with similar abilities back then. Most of them were a bit apprehensive but I can understand why." He wasn't going to lie; he could tell how hesitant Adelene was about her own ability. It was practivaly like being a human weapon.

Tucker could clearly see how Adelene was completely enchanted by the blade that it had him chuckle a bit. There wasn't a lot of people who were this drawn to weapons in that kind of way. "It's a used sword so there are damages here and there, especially on the blade," he said. For Tucker, it was easy to repair the damages and bring it back to its pristine state, but what good was a brand new sword when the authentic blades were often worn out or broken in half?

Adelene turned to him with pleading eyes as she asked. Tucker wasn't going to even deny her request in the first place; after all, she seemed capable of holding a weapon. "I don't see why not." He twisted the hilt around his hand so when he laid the blade on the other, the sharpened edge was facing him. He was gently holding the blade with both hands as he turned to face Adelene.

When Adelene took hold of the weapon, Tucker took a step back, near the same time as the girl did. There was no harm in trying to keep safe but he could tell, despite the fact that she received the blade correctly, the way she'd held the blade was unsure. It became obvious in her stance that she hasn't learned how to hold longer swords. That could easily be arranged if she really wanted to learn how to really handle blades, he thought.

"Forging blades in Japan is considered an artwork," he justified. He'd studied forging before and it was demanding for anyone who wasn't up to the task. He quietly observed Adelene as she inspected the blade in awe, scrutinizing every detail that it held. He caught her expression change and simply by reflex, Tucker smiled, as if he could already tell what was wrong.

"They're as real as they are visible to your eyes," he repeated his earlier response, "But their authenticity is a different thing," he corrected, unsheathing the other blade--the one that had been broken from earlier, holding it to his side away from Adelene. "These aren't the actual katanas. I made these with a duplication spell--we wouldn't want to recklessly lose the actual relic, would we? That's likely the reason why you can't copy it."
