[ There will be a small but very determined looking child peering into the amulet for a couple moments before he feels like the thing is "on". ]

Uh... hi.

[ This is working right? ]

I want to get myself a sword here but I don't really know what kind to get.

[ .... ]

So, uh, what's the best kind of sword to have here? Or I guess... what kind do you have if you have one? Even better if you can show me or something.

[ He pauses for a moment to scratch at his cheek. ]

Uh, thanks if you can help?

Hmm...

[ Squall gives him another glance. While he knows deep down this might be a bad idea, he does look strong for a child. ]

[torankusu]

[ Do you want him to punch a tree in half or something? ]

Uh... you still with me?

[innermonologues]

It's not quite a sword but...

[ He holds up a weapon that looks like this. ]

[torankusu]

[ Trunks squints a little, even raises a hand over his eyes as if that might somehow help block out the non-existent glare. ]

...are you sure? It looks like a sword to me.

[innermonologues]

It's similar to a Sword, with some working gun mechanics.

image;

[torankusu]

[ Cue record scratch. ]

Wait... it's a gun AND a sword?

image;

[innermonologues]

Mmm, basically. In my world, not many people are able to wield this type of weapon.

image;

[torankusu]

Does that mean you're really strong or something?

[ Does he need to get his notebook out and pencil this guy in under POSSIBLE BAD GUY??? ]

image;

[innermonologues]

I won't lie and say I'm the strongest, not even in my own world.

[ there was a pause as he set his Gunblade back down. ]

But sometimes strength isn't the only thing that matters in a fight.

[torankusu]

You mean brains? 'cause I got those, too.

[ Thanks, mom. ]

[ Squall snorts softly. In a way this kid almost reminds him of Seifer when he was younger. It makes him feel a little pain of... something he wasn't quite sure. ]

I've been making similar blades to my own in my free time. I suppose if you show me what you got, I'd be willing to give one to you.

image;

[torankusu]

Uh...

[ Just to... clarify here... ]

...you want me to fight you?

image;

[innermonologues]

...Yes?

image;

[torankusu]

But that's too easy...

image;

[innermonologues]

So you don't want to see how a Gunblade works then?

image;

[torankusu]

I mean, yeah? But when I beat you in a fight, you better still be able to show me.

image;

[innermonologues]

[ he snorts softly at that. ]

It's only fair.

image;

[torankusu]

Just don't get mad at me when you lose, ok? You gotta hold up your end of the bargain.

image;

[innermonologues]

I'm not going to make it easy on you, Kid. But I also don't go back on a promise.

image;

[torankusu]

Who you callin' kid?

image;

[innermonologues]

Well I imagine you aren't in your teens yet so...

image;

[torankusu]

And you are?

[ Doesn't that ALSO make you a kid?? ]

image;

[innermonologues]

Almost out of my teens, actually.

image;

[torankusu]

Wow, I didn't know you were that old.

image;

[innermonologues]

I want to argue... but I really can't.

[ Even he's already feeling old. He's going to be 19 this year... ]
