[ Blade's in a fairly good mood himself - he is tended towards something relatively upscale, of course, so it suits him. The comfortable nature behind this has him even decide to plop himself down - some of the people here may reel at the choices he has made here, but...he is a person who never looks back.
And when he looks up, he is reminded of something. An afternoon sky, laughter, people with familiar faces. He wonders, idly, if Ish has memories like those. ]
A long time ago, I was a craftsman. I don't remember much about the original creation, but I think named it like that because it was simple. But, effective. It's a sword that has many fractures, like shards. Though, has it really been broken...?
...Not sure if you appreciate craftsmanship, but it looks like a work of art.
[ Even better when he sinks it into someone and makes them bleed - anyway, bringing his mind back from his crazy hour; it is a better mental day for him, after all. ]
To be absolutely clear: it'll just be a sword, none of that weird school of magic you can do with it will work.
[ but ish figures blade would appreciate having his sword period. ]
And I do. In exchange, I want you to try to maintain as much cohesion within the group as you can. Basically, try to stop anyone who causes in fighting because they're insulted about something or another.
Despite of, or I guess because of, the impending end, I can feel that some things are stirring. Obviously, this doesn't count towards if someone decides to take me up on the wish, because I already set those rules and I can't go back on my word.
But for anything outside a murder for the carnival, try to keep everyone together. Got it?
The Shard Sword is just a sword; it doesn't have supernatural capabilities...unless mine are in effect.
[ Blade simply says. It's him who is the oddity rather than the sword.
Anyway, there is the request that has been bequeathed unto him; the irony does not miss him. But, of all the people here, he may be the most qualified to set boundaries when it comes to vengeance taking or whatnot. Whatever the case, he's letting out a dark chuckle. ]
I will try to keep everyone together.
Reminders shouldn't be necessary. But, people sometimes no longer care about survival when they allow their emotions to rule them.
I understand that more than anyone.
[ ...Or rather, it is also because he's literally messed up in the head on top of that. But he's gotten better about it - he'll do his best in keeping the order. ]
[ Glancing at Wednesday's nonsense, glances right back at you.
It's good that he is, because he would be...yeah, at that time.
At this current time, though? Blade's enjoying his drink in turn with a sip, letting out a dark chuckle. ]
...who is your top favorite?
[ Blade's become a teensy bit nosy thanks to hanging around gossipgirls (Primrose), so he is a bit curious. Not even for practical reasons. What has this game done to him? ]
[ Honestly, considering the whole entire massive shitshow that's going to be the rest of the week, good humor's definitely a plus for either side right now. ]
Funny enough, he was about to be my second guess.
[ It's not based on nothing! Blade remembers how Hwylyrn defended Ish at a certain point in one of those weeks - so it stuck in his mind for quite a bit. ]
Can you? Then you have better eyes than some others here. [ or maybe he doesn't realize that they've gotten increasingly obvious, even before wednesday. ]
But this has all worked out for you too, hasn't? Should I offer you my congratulations and a toast?
[ Blade sure could say the two have been obvious, especially the certain trial in mind, but...his arrogance factor has grown a bit? You can thank his character development for that. ]
You should. I have more to be appreciative for than anyone might realize.
[ Blade is actually pretty shameless about when it comes to Dan Heng; and, he has learned in certain ways that are both good as well as bad. He just dials it back sometimes for his boyfriend; otherwise, Dan Heng would die of embarrassment in public.
But, you know, if it weren't for this situation, he wouldn't have gotten Dan Heng; wouldn't have wanted to improve; wouldn't be on the way to finding his solution to his other problem, too. Which, like, sounds kind of terrible, but also good at the same time. Is it awful for him to be pleased? He doesn't think so. He did say he was selfish.
Anyway, he will hold out his glass to Ish. Cheers. ]
...It can be a mutual toast of congratulations. To both of us.

...if I get your sword for you, I'll want something back in return. Are you interested?
no subject
I am.
Is there something you're thinking of?
[ Blade supposes he could always try to come up with something himself, if there isn't, but it is what it is. He will hear Ish out, first. ]

That's not a terrible guess, actually! But we never drank together and even if we did, he still wouldn't make my #1 spot.
That's for Hwylyrn, only.
