<em>Careful...</em>Right, Delphine would have to remember that. She didn't want to harm Sophie, by accident - And while she wasn't the most sensitive, something told her that this blade was more than just a fine weapon.<br/><br/>Without a sheath, she simply reversed her grip, holding it out before her - One hand on the hilt, taking up what she (instinctively) knew to be a fencer's stance! It was strange how easily it came to her, as if she'd been practicing...Even as she relished the weapon's perfect balance!<br/><br/>"All right - Let's see what you've got, Sophie~" the violet-eyed beauty said...She was eager to see what her new acquisition could do for her, too!<br/><br/>After all, Delphine owned so few<em>things</em>...There was treasure, all right, but that was really just holding it until it was time to give it away...that this was new to her. The concept of something you used, that *stayed* with you - While she knew it in<em>theory</em>, the actual thing was something else entirely!
