Perhaps, if it's not to late, find the man named Puck and answer his riddle correctly. But I was warned that a token from home would fade, and needed to be "reforged with a soul" in order to remain. So that's what I did.
It required a soul to be used like a billet, and shaped into the shield. I cannot tell which part is the original shield, and which is the addition, the work is impeccable. I am not proud that I had to do it, but we need the protection.
[ she really can't judge. it's terrible that they are in a situation where they have to resort to doing something like this, but... she really, really can't judge. ]
We really found ourselves in a predicament, haven't we? Thank you. I am sorry you had to do that. I would say it's not fair, but nothing seems to be fair.
If you do find your weapon, I won't dissuade you from seeking out one of the smiths to have the same procedure done. I merely want you to be prepared for the experience.
That's true. I just have a bit of an attachment, I think. I should probably learn more sword work, but it would probably take too long for me to get decent enough that it's particularly useful to us...
I would prefer if you did have some defense, Rosa. Even for the dead, this place is dangerous. What would happen if we died a second time? I do not know. Best if neither of us find out.

I didn't really look too into it.

I would like mine back, it would be a lot easier than having to learn something else from scratch...
But we'll see.

I guess we should keep all our options open...
How are your Arts?

I think you do very well.
[ she won't actually accuse him of hiding anything, at least. ]
But at least be careful, okay?
no subject
But I should also be telling you that, as I have the means of self-defense between us.

Although that's looking less likely as we go...

This place doesn't really give the impression it would be that simple.
Don't worry. I'll be safe and look into finding something to arm myself with.
