[ The shot shows a rich cloth, with a handful of weapons carefully arranged on it. Swords, knives, daggers: their basic designs are simple, but there is elegance to it, and elaboration in inlaid tracings along the blades, in the handles. ]

I've, ah. I've been hard at work, since we came here. I suppose it was nice to find something familiar.

It seems a shame to leave these behind, or to take them all for myself. I'm not a warrior.

Are there those in the fleet who would like any?

I could use a knife. Narrow, sharp cutting edge, high tensile strength?

[treasureling]

You're in luck, since I'm all out of broad, dull and brittle ones.

[detectivewonder]

I meant compared to your stock. Something used for fine cutting work, not knife-fighting.

[treasureling]

Cutting what, in particular? Paper, wood, cloth?

[detectivewonder]

I'm not sure. That's why I asked for high tensile strength,

[treasureling]

For whatever you might need, then?

[detectivewonder]

Yes.

... Actually, if there's a good fighting knife, I'd like one of those as well. It might make a good present.

[treasureling]

How's this?

[ Relatively simple handle, short blade, but slim. ]

You can try it to your hand when I get back to the ship.

[detectivewonder]

Actually, I'm on my way down to the surface now anyway. See you there?

[treasureling]

I'll be around the forge.
