Welcome to Gaia! ::

"That's what I like to hear. Alright, lets get into town and check the weapon shop. We need to find an appropriate sword for you, one you can hold real easy in your hands." Lloyd informed, going over the details. "It's still gotta be a little heavy in your hands, though, because that builds much needed muscle." he said, poking his arm. "You need some strength behind your swing if you ever wish to penetrate the armor or skin of an enemy."

Lloyd led the way, and Genis followed. as they existed the small bluff, the half-elf turned to his sister. Seeing her in the water, he rolled his eyes at her and decided it was best to leave the archeoligist to her work. He jogged a little to catch up with Lloyd and Ichigo, which didn't take long. Bypassing Ichigo, he got Lloyd's attention. "Did you stop to think that Ichigo may have Elven Blood?" he asked. Lloyd shook his head indifferently. Genis put his face in his hands as they walked, knowing full well that Ichigo was listening in. "Lloyd, do you think things through?"

Lloyd smiled. "I like to think the sword picks the weilder as much as the wielder picks the sword. He'll find the right one, don't worry." Lloyd smiled disarmingly. "Have I guessed wrong before?"

"You got a 25 on a 400 question test. Yes, you've guessed wrong lots of times." Genis reprimended without delay.

"Shut it, Genis."

((Oo? I had a post here after that.. what happened to it?))

((I so don't want to type that out again... gonk ))

Upon entering the Weapon's shop, one could feel the change that came over Lloyd. Unlike most who would think he became like a kid in a candy shop, He strode over to the weapon location and looked them over, Ichigo behind him. As he looked them over, he pulled them off the stands and tested thier wieght and balance. "Well... This one is fine for begginers, but it serves no use for what we're training to do." He muttered, putting the sword down. Genis grabbed a sword and handed it to Lloyd, who took one look at it and shook his head. Surprised, Genis just put it away. When it came to weaponary, Lloyd was the one to trust. He learned this at the end of thier adventures. A lot of Kratos had rubbed off on the boy, and Lloyd's percision of thought when it came to swords was unmatched. He turned around to check the stock of more expensive weapons, and found himself looking at what looked to be a poorly made sword. "This..." He mutterede, picking it up. "I can feel a lot of heart in this blade. Whoever forged it didn't want it to be sold in a store like this." He said. He handed it to Ichigo. "Test it out."

"Ummm... No." He answered, Taking the sword carefully from Ichigo. Looking over the others, he found a much more balanced blade, holding it for a moment, he bobbed his head from side to side. "It's satisfactory, but try it anyway." He said, giving the boy the sword. This time he hopped back so he wouldn't be in the wild-childs swing.

"A sword is much better when you get the height right..." He muttered, so rather then letting Ichigo get used to it, he took the blade fromt he table leg, completely ignoring the fact the kid was still on the floor. Genis quickly helped the kid up, because he wasn't doing much else. Considering he was on the floor, Ichigo shouldn't have noticed that Lloyd ignored the fact he had fallen. Lloyd walked over to a smaller assortment of swords, but these ones had a thinned blade, and where double sided. Lloyd smirked to himself. "These seem perfect." He said, handing Ichigo two matching blades. They were smaller but a tad bit heavier then the last sword. "These are called dirks." He said, still smirking at the fact his adoptive father was named Dirk. "They are very effective in close range and can get a vicious swing behind them if you use them right." Lloyd nodded. "You can use one or two, whatever feels right to you."

Genis looked at him for a moment, before saying outrightly, "Looked to me like you just swung two swords." He said, shrugging and loking to Lloyd for approval of his observation. The Boy shook his head.

Lloyd smiled a bit, "Actually, It looked to me like he just swung his two swords." And with that, Lloyd produced a small bag from his pack, And tossed it to Ichigo. It's ends were tied, and the sound of Gall could be heard from the inside.
