Hey Ealasaide, I had refered to Vanwe having a sword in post #312. I was assuming it was Menecin's that he lent to her for that occasion. I don't know if he took it back, it wasn't mentioned. :P Sorry for the confusion.

Nerindel I see that you are online. Do you want to include a post from Vanwe in this portion?

Nerindel · 08-03-2005, 03:28 PM

no I'm happy to move on, once Menecin is in place.

I think it is good to show Vanwe's character from the prospective of the others for the moment, so that when the time comes and Vanwe is forced to act, her point of view becomes more predominent(SP?)...well thats the hope anyway

Thankee & thankee!

Should I edit in a sword or are we assuming that Menecin took it back? What do I do??

Hilde Bracegirdle · 08-03-2005, 04:12 PM

Ergh! Help, I'm no help! That could have been anybody's sword really Ealasaide, so it could stand well as is, it's just that it will take a little while for me to get used to the idea of Menecin letting his daughter go around relatively unarmed.

Ealasaide · 08-03-2005, 04:18 PM

Would it help him to rationalize taking his sword back to know that she had had no formal training in the use of a sword? Having had some Kendo training, I can tell you, it does take a good deal of practice to handle a sword well.

As I recall, Vanwe has had no formal weapons training.

I don't know about Menecin, but it helps me, thanks Ealasaide.

And I do recall mock fencing someone myself, and having the unfortunate tendency to block blows with my wrist rather than the 'sword'!

Nerindel, I will plan to go ahead with Menecin then.
