[ 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?

You fight with two swords?

[ Trunks perks up at that, clearly thinking that's pretty cool. ]

Teach me how to use just one? But what about two?

Well if you're interested in how to wield two weapons at once, I can teach you that too. But it's best to learn how to manage the first weapon before adding the second.

[torankusu]

I guess.

[ He still thinks he can handle two. ]

How much do you charge?

[deus_ex_machina]

I wouldn't charge you. But we should figure out what kind of style appeals to you first. Short swords are different from rapiers and rapiers are different from longswords. Depends what feels right to you.

[His gaze drops while he thinks about his first pick from Armory.]

You know, there's a saying where I'm from that you don't pick the weapon, the weapon picks you.

[torankusu]

Well then I guess I better be around a lot of them so the best one can pick me, right?

[ He might just be smiling at the thought. ]

[deus_ex_machina]

Yeah, that's the way to do it.

So kid, what's your name. I'm Machina. Machina Kunagiri.

[torankusu]

My name's Trunks.

[ And, well, since he can't shake a hand, he'll just give a thumbs up instead. ]

[deus_ex_machina]

[Seriously cute. The kid's got spunk.]

All right, Trunks. When do you want to start?

[Does Machina stop to inquire if there are parents who need to give permission first? Nope. He's been responsible for himself for long enough that the idea doesn't even occur to him.]

[torankusu]

[ Mom and dad aren't here yet and he can totally take care of himself! Usually. ]

Whenever you're up for it. I don't have anything else to do.

[deus_ex_machina]

I get off work in a couple of hours. Where do you live? I'll swing by.

[Thanks to being a delivery boy, Machina's got a great handle on directions in the city.]
