[ 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?

[ How else is he going to be a knight if he doesn't have a sword??? ]

Yeah, but that's what knights use. Geez, Gohan.

[lamentingly]

Wait, since when did you wanna become a knight?

[ WHERE DID THIS EVEN COME FROM? DID HE MISS SOMETHING? ]

[ Stop being a hobo and maybe you'll see, Gohan!! ]

Heh, since always, duh.

[lamentingly]

... Uh huh.

[ He's very convinced, really. But you know what? He'll play along. ]

Well, you know that knights get knighted by a queen, right? So first you have to find a queen to protect.

[torankusu]

Ok. Where do I find one of those?

[ Does he need to make ANOTHER post on this... thing? ]

[lamentingly]

It's not a matter of just finding a queen, Trunks.

[ Look, if you wanna become a knight? You're getting a history lesson. ]

When you become a knight, you become a defender of the royal family. That means you're in it till the end, so it's important you find someone you really want to defend. It can't just be any random person.

[torankusu]

Why not? Isn't that what we already do with protecting the people of Earth?

[ Are you telling him this is not the same, Gohan? ]

image;

[lamentingly]

[ ... Alright, that's actually a good point. ]

Well, yeah, but we're not knights. We're fighters.

[torankusu]

But knights fight and protect people.

[ Asking again... do you miss Trunks being a kid, Gohan? ]

image;

[lamentingly]

No, knights protect royalty. That's why queens knight them.

But it sounds to me like you wanna be something better. Like... a knight of the people. Right?

[ Guess who's probably had this conversation with his Trunks? ]

image;

[torankusu]

Uh, yeah, I guess?

[ He's never really thought that far ahead yet, Gohan. His mission is currently: find sword and train with it. ]

[lamentingly]

[ You can always count on Gohan to over-complicate everything. ]

Maybe there's a queen out there who can knight you to protect people instead of just protecting them. What d'you think?

[torankusu]

Or...

[ Look at the wheels turning in his little head. ]

Maybe Thras can knight me! He's the one I have a connection with!
