[What? What's this? A message! Excuse him while he admires the novelty of it. His eyebrows arch, lips twitching in tentative recognition of the snake, and then he taps open the picture and—
wow. ] Wow! Is it the one from home? How did you get it?
This is indeed the one from home. If it is a fake, it's a well-made fake that shall now work as well as the original one, because I brought it to a smith for soulforging. As for how I got it, I helped someone and was apparently rewarded for it.
A smith takes a soul and casts it into an ingot, then proceeds to forge the weapon from there. A process I still don't fully understand, but my weapon works as intended.
I have the feeling that little Boardie here [Yes, he named the makeshift shield he got for their practice sessions.] won't last long against your own shield, though. I can't tell from the picture, but what is it made of?
A melding of a number of different alloys found in my world, and built specifically to conduct my Arts better while providing me with ample protection from enemies. And the risk of shocking myself.
You've seen my Arts, yes? It burns you in that form. But the second form my Arts takes is similar to electricity, or lightning. It hurts quite a bit more.

It comes up to my waist. [given how long shalem's legs are? that's substantial.] But it is indeed heavy. Most of its weight comes from the thickness of the outer shells, but there are wiring systems inside to help me with my Arts, so it's not merely a thick slab of different steel alloys melded together.

What does that entail exactly? I heard about it but I didn't really understand it.
[More like, he was in a rush, as usual, and didn't stay long enough to even listen in properly.]

At the same time, I can train you much better with it.

Could I try holding it? Just to see what it's like?
It's okay if you don't want me to, mind. I understand being without it around here can make people a lot wearier.
