[A slight clearing of the throat, followed by a soft, heavily-accented voice. Prim, almost. And serious.]

I, ah, understand there's been some talk of firearms and their usefulness lately, but — well. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience in the art of blacksmithing? Or might know where one could hypothetically acquire a sword? A shortsword, specifically.

Erm.

Thank you... in advance.

[Awkward pause goes here.]

— this is Aziraphale, by the way.

[Another pause.]

Very good, then.

Well —

[A hem, a haw.]

— rather than... put a strain on someone's resources, if one could just be — miracled up in such a way, as it were...

Huh. You know, I'm not sure if they make us things or there's a whole line of stores out there being robbed by a giant bunny.

[He hopes it's the latter. That's hilarious.]

Anyway, being specific helps and I don't know the first thing about swords, so...

[bibliophilicbells]

I'll see if I can find one that already exists. I would hate to use your hard-earned, erm, currency.

[He guesses that's what it is, technically?]

But thank you very much.

Hey, I thought we already agreed it's fine. If I ever need anything, you can pay me back later. Things can get crazy around here, it's better to have your sword now than wait a month.
