Aeron pointed at the blade. "Your sword has an attitude."
"You have an attitude too, and yet people tolerate you."
"I'm lovable."
"No."
Maya, despite the tension, let out a soft laugh. Zenovia's lips curved faintly, but her eyes remained on the weapon.
"What exactly does it do, apart from slicing people up, of course?" she asked.
Elion thought about the enchantments and sighed. "Too much to name."
Alexander crossed his arms. "That is the most accurate explanation."
Tristan's gaze was grave. "A weapon like that changes the operation."
"Not really," Alexander said after a moment. "It improves his chances, but the plan remains the same. We cannot build a new strategy around unknown effects just because we feel like it."
Elion sheathed the blade slowly. The moment Kurogoroshi disappeared into its scabbard, the air in the tent loosened again. Several people seemed to breathe easier without realising it.
