"Everything is going well actually.....ive almost got the hang of the whole sword swallowing bit....I still slightly nip my lips with the tip from time to time but I've not cut my throat or anything like that since i started" she was quite proud of herself for having nearly mastered this exotic talent. When she had first picked up the sword and attempted to swallow it she had sliced herself many a time and had required quite a bit of time to heal, however now she had gotten to the point where she only nicked her lips on occasion. "My knives are all sharp and clean".  She smiled and looked to him "and how are things with you sir?"
