[ 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?

[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. ]
