[QUOTE="Dragonwriter, post: 5050155, member: 54988"] Jareth returns Lora's look with a similar gaze, but shrugs momentarily. However, it's rather obvious that a little interest in his weapon, and some more casual conversation, pleases him. He seems to lose some of the gruff tone that so often colors his voice as he says, [color=crimson]"Most would think so, and it does take significant training to wield it without tearing your own throat out, but I've been working with it for several years. In a fight, you don't parry in the usual sense, and in fact, you try to keep your distance."[/color] He stands back up and uncoils the chain, flicking the length of it out behind him, holding one end with his left hand.
