*smiles a little, and when he speaks, it is in a quiet voice* Those are very nice blades, Mrs. Hades. Very-- fine.

*studies him with some amusion* Why, thank you. They are rather wonderful. *slides one of them across the carpet, slicing off tiny bits of the fuzz*

Oh, yes; I have a few hobbies, and I do a lot of the-- cooking... Mother's an invalid, you see... So I know a bit about-- about knives.

[notimmaculate]

*evil smile* Cooking is a very handy skill. I encourage it in my children. Are you quite good?

[riveroffire]

*is -- hopefully -- welcome* *looks blankly at the assortment of weapons, not betraying any sort of emotion*

*carefully* Mother?

[notimmaculate]

*continues with the polishing and the sharpening; yes, he is welcome enough*

Yes?

[riveroffire]

*pauses -- is trying to be tactful* ...Is there a reason for the excess of weaponry?

[notimmaculate]

*looks around at said weaponry* I have been remiss in caring for them of late. A new setting is a good reason to stay ... sharp.
