[She holds it where Goro can see the entire thing. It's a single piece of metal, nearly as tall as Hornet— taller, if you don't count her horns. The simplest way to describe it would be an elongated sword, with a loop at the pommel making it resemble a bastardized sewing needle. After a moment, Hornet shifts it back into its regular place, half-hidden by her cloak.]

"I have had a lifetime to practice it. If I were the type to claim friends, it would be my closest."
