[she - does her best, she does. the grin stays in place and she manages to keep her posture loose and easy, but there's something in there. a flicker of something sad, just briefly.]
Everything, honestly. Everything down to the cobblestone and the way you can't turn without getting your pocket picked. I haven't been back in years, so I guess... getting something to eat and hanging out, you know?
[ there's a moment where he wonders if he said something wrong. emotions are always so complicated, and the last thing he wants is to make things more difficult for someone else.
but it seems to make sense, as karlach explains it. ]
So you've been away for some time... Then I hope you'll be able to see it again soon - you and your friends.
[ ah, now that sentiment, he understands. his expression softens, itself a bit wistful. ]
I do. Imanotsurugi, my precious friend, recently left on a journey to become stronger, so I'm awaiting his return. I don't know how long he'll be gone, and I miss him dearly, but each day I look forward to seeing how much he'll have changed.
Yes. He was the protective sword of my former master's master. We served them through a number of battles.
We do training, yes, and fighting our master's enemies naturally helps us grow. For a journey like Imanotsurugi's... [ shakes his head. ] I'm not sure, exactly. No one's returned from journeys like that yet, but if I were to guess... He's going to see his former master, to watch and learn from him, and to learn to move on.

He's another sword, I figure? What do you do to be strong? Fight a bunch of guys? Get an upgrade?
