It's heavy for such a thin piece of metal!
:14:12
The handle is heavy.
and the blade is no ordinary metal.
:14:16
Still, the sword is the lightest of weapons.
:14:20
you're just not used to handling it.
:14:22
but, I have had much practice.
:14:25
as a child in the west, a platoon lived with us.
:14:30
They'd let me play with their weapons.
:14:34
The scabbard is so beautiful.
beautiful but dangerous.
:14:36
Once you see it tainted with
blood, its beauty is hard to admire.
:14:40
It's 400 years old.
:14:44
Exquisite!
:14:46
you said it belongs to...
:14:49
My friend Li Mubai.
:14:51
He's given it to SirTe as a gift.
:14:53
Li Mubai! The famous warrior?
:14:57
why would he give his sword to SirTe?
:15:00
you're too young to understand.
:15:04
you're a sword fighter too?
:15:06
but I prefer the machete.
:15:09
Certain moves, however, call for a sword.
:15:13
Really?
:15:17
It must be exciting to be
a fighter, to be totally free!
:15:20
fighters have rules too friendship, trust...
:15:24
integrity. without rules...
:15:26
we wouldn't survive for long.
:15:30
I've read all about people like you.
:15:32
Roaming wild, beating up anyone
who gets in your way!
:15:35
writers wouldn't sell many books
if they told how it really is.
:15:37
but you're just like the characters in the stories.
:15:40
Sure. No place to bathe for days,
sleeping in flea infested beds...
:15:45
They tell you all about that in those books?
:15:47
you know what I mean.
:15:49
I'm getting married soon, but
I haven't lived the life I want.
:15:55
So I heard. Congratulations.
