As for the short story in broad strokes goes:<br/><br/>Sanger becomes restless, cooped up in the apartment for several days now.  He decides to leave and explore the city, taking off his armor and leaving Zankanto and his shield behind so that he isn't attracting huge amounts of attention.  Not wanting to go unarmed, he takes his father's sword, something he always carried with after his father died and Sanger became a circuit rider.  Wearing a cloak that hides his features, he wanders around, keeping out of the light and trying not to draw any attention.  The city, for the most part, baffles and upsets Sanger.  He feels the entire place is just wrong.  As he makes his way through, he suddenly finds himself lost, and he can't even retrace his steps, as if the city changed around him.<br/><br/>Wondering what to do, he finds himself in front of a smithy, and he notices some of the finest weapons he's ever seen.  With no way to figure out how to get back, he wanders inside, examining the weapons.  They are all beautiful made, and are also well-balanced.  If he didn't have Zankanto, Sanger would be tempted to get one of these weapons.  He then hears a cough behind him and a comment about how it's odd to find a Solar in Malfeas.  Sanger is surprised and has his hand on his father's sword as he turns around, but then he sees that the person coughing is Ligier and he thinks there's no safe way out.  Seeing this, Ligier tells Sanger that he has no interest in fighting at the moment, and he comments that Sanger doesn't have a daiklave on him but just an ordinary sword.  Relaxing somewhat, Sanger tells him that he does indeed have a daiklave, called Zankanto, and that it is absolutely his sword.  Zankanto fits his hand best, and he knows it better than any other blade.  The sword he holds is his father's sword, and while it's not his weapon like Zankanto is, it's as important to him as Zankanto is because it's not his weapon, it's his father's.<br/><br/>Impressed, Ligier moves on and shows off some other weapons, and the conversation between the two is animated and enthusiastic.  Later, as Sanger leaves the smithy, he finds himself in front of the apartment again, and maybe with the equivalent of a third circle business card.
