Etienne sat on the floor of his living room with all of his weapons spread out across the floor.
Etienne stared at the polished kurisigama, the sickle and weight gleaming with pride. He turned slowly and looked at the meteor hammer, still dented after his battle with Cupid. He looked over at the neat bronze chains and weights of the kusari-fundo.
Gabe stood behind Etienne and watched as he stared at his weapons.
After several minutes, Gabe finally broke the silence, "Is something wrong, Master? Shall we get some new weapons for you?"
Etienne sighed and scratched his head, "These are toys, Gabe…" Etienne shook his head, "No, I take that back. They are deadly weapons in the right hands, but compared to my sword, they are nothing more than kids' toys. I can fight with these, but when I was on Tashiro Island, the sword became second nature. It became an extension of me."
