A deal. Is anything possible with these deals?

[major_rawne]

As far as I know. I want to bring back my home planet and at least some people think that's possible.

[malicing]

A fine goal. What I would ask for would be far less.

[major_rawne]

Then you'll probably get it.

[Rawne doesn't ask what deal Jin Guangyao wants. That's personal information. If he wants to bring it up on his own, he can.]

[malicing]

That is comforting. {He can be patient for that.} Will you have tea with me every week? Perhaps we can set a day?

[major_rawne]

Of course. How about Wednesdays?

And I can have tea with you even if you aren't my inmate, if you want.

[malicing]

Of course. Wednesdays are good for me. {Where else is he going to go?} I would like that very much! Your story interests me.

[major_rawne]

Yours interests me, too. I don't meet many other people around here who know how to fight with bladed weapons.

[For him its knives over swords, but he has used a sword a time or two.]

[malicing]

Cultivators are taught to hold a sword when they are only children. Of course those are practice blades. Once we graduate, we set the specifications for our swords and sometimes forge them ourselves.

[major_rawne]

What kind of specifications? Energy fields, chain edge, that kind of thing?

[That's what the swords he knows have.]

[malicing]

Hensheng is my sword. It's flexible. I can wear it around my waist or my arm. It's very sharp too. When I wrap it around a target, I can use my spiritual energy through the blade to cut them to pieces.

[major_rawne]

A very effective weapon.

[He's never seen a flexible sword before, but he'd love to try one.]

[malicing]

I am fond of it. {Hensheng never betrayed him.}

[major_rawne]

Did you make it yourself?

[malicing]

I had some help in the forge, but yes. It's common for students to be involved in the making.

[major_rawne]

Interesting. The Techpriests are the ones who supervise making weapons where I'm from.

[malicing]

Cultivators are sometimes seen as Exorcists. Religion is a powerful factor.

[major_rawne]

We've got exorcists, too. They keep us safe against demons.

[malicing]

That is the main duty of a Cultivator. We protect the innocent from demons, evil spirits and monstrosities.

[major_rawne]

I'm guessing that's a full time job.

[malicing]

We travel where we are needed within our regions. It is very time consuming.

[major_rawne]

Hm. What kind of transport do you use?

[malicing]

On foot, on horse, in carriage or on our swords.

[major_rawne]

So, slower than I'm used to, usually... on your swords? They fly?

[malicing]

Cultivators can fly on their swords, yes. It's a spell.
