[Gene cocked his head to the side and watched as Lin toyed with the weapon. It was always interesting seeing someone else familiarize themselves with something from their past like this. Gene found himself thinking back to Chapel who also seemed to be able to easily adjust to the weight of the cross-shaped weapon he had recovered, where most people would have floundered. The way in which Lin wore the stinger had a similar quality.]

[Gene chuckled as Lin snapped out of her reverie.]

Fits like a glove. Or it would if it wasn't missing that component you just mentioned. Maybe you can get someone in the Bazaar to fashion you a replacement gauntlet.

[Because the sharp bit was the important part, right? Or so Gene thought. He wasn't aware of the way swords like this one worked and how they needed to be whole for their full potential to be used.]
