[ 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?

[ Yes, the most precious who needs help with making such an important decision in his life. ]

Uh, I guess one hand? But two might actually be cool, too.

[Lonnie reaches over to pull out her rapier from its sheath.]

Something like this? [She brandishes it around before sheathing it again.]

A rapier is lighter and focuses on agility. A sword where you need to hold with both hands can be rather heavy and focuses a bit more on power and strength.

[ He's going to need to write down the suggestion for rapier since it keeps getting brought up. ]

Really? Heh, yeah, I wouldn't want to break the sword in half by accident.

Well, not if you get your sword from a quality blacksmith. The other thing you got to consider is which sword matches your fighting style. It's very important.

Like for example, [Trunks will be getting an image of a different sword in the feed.] this is a jian, which is a double-edged straight sword from China, the country I'm from. People who practice the martial art Wushu use this sword for their fighting style.

[ Should he be taking notes on all of this? ]

A double-edged sword? But like... can't that hurt you then?

[If he wants! Lonnie just wants to be thorough with the information she's sharing.]

That's why you learn about your sword, work hard and train! They do make wooden versions of swords if you're just starting out.

But wooden swords can break so easily.

[ Especially when you're half-saiyan. ]

[Lonnie whistles.]

That strong, huh? That's okay! You just don't use your full strength whenever you train using a wooden sword. There's a difference between a toy wooden sword and the ones that are used for swordplay. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to break the training ones.

What do you mean? Are they made with a special sort of wood or something?

[ Is this wood Saiyan proof? ]

[That, Lonnie's not sure of. But it's not like she knows how strong a Saiyan could be.]

Uh-huh! [She nods.] It'll take great amounts of strength for someone to break this kind of wood.
