[ 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?

[Would Mom kill him for offering his younger self tips? A sword really can't hurt them much after all...and he obviously carries one all the time.

On the other hand if he does get one and no one's supervising him, he might actually hurt someone. Or himself.]

If you get your hands on one, I'll show you a few things.

[torankusu]

[ He would NEVER hurt himself??? More like he would hurt the sword if anything.

But, Trunks does perk up a little. ]

Really?

[fighting4afuture]

Yeah.

[Just. To avoid you hurting yourself. Or someone else.]

It's not something you can use against all of the things we usually go up against, but...

[Worked well enough on Frieza...]

[torankusu]

Yeah, I know. But I still think they're really cool. Don't you?

[ He knows you do, future self. Because if he likes them, then you must, too. ]

[fighting4afuture]

They're useful, sometimes. Other times...not so much. Mine broke in a fight before.

When I replaced it, I started channeling some ki into it. It's stronger that way, and it doesn't take a lot of concentration to do once you're used to it.

[Thus why he can do things with it like...throw it like a boomerang. Yes.]

[torankusu]

[ This... only... makes Trunks perk up even more because WHAT??? ]

Are you gonna teach me how to do that?!

[fighting4afuture]

Sure, I can teach you.

[It's a useful theory even if you don't want to use it for swords later.]

So what gave you the idea to get a sword, though?

[torankusu]

Heh, 'cause that's what knights use and I'm gonna be a knight.

[ Makes total sense to him. ]

[fighting4afuture]

Fair enough.

[Not all kids can want to be firefighters or policemen after all.]

You'll have to promise to be careful though. Mom would kill me if you cut your hand off.

[torankusu]

I can handle myself just fine.

[ He's a super saiyan after all. ]

So does this mean you wanna be a knight, too?

[ Cause, you know, you have a sword and all, future self. ]

[fighting4afuture]

Yeah, I know.

[Just. Don't hurt yourself, okay?]

Well...that's not really why I started to use one myself.

[torankusu]

Then why did you?

[ This is sounding like story time to Trunks. ]
