"Modifying their sheaths? No, no, that would be an insult to their creator, and the blades themselves would not approve, either. As I said earlier, fair lady, do not earn their ire, lest you want to find their edge turn on you." [i]The mood got just a little gloomy for a moment, at least until Astra's hands slipped down Irina's arms, fingertips very lightly trailing across her clothing, sliding down her body, after, then clasping at her waist while the angelic lady pressed a big, loving smooch on the Vileblood's left cheek. She just seized the little moment to show some affection, how sweet.[/i] "A dagger, also? My, what a needy thing you are..." [i]She laughed quietly, playfully, her wings quivering as she kissed Irina's cheek again, right on her jawbone by her ear. Then, the woman broke away, hands returning to her sides as she slipped over to her lover's front, granting her first request, clearly. Her delicate hands gently wrapped around the hilts where the sheaths met them, her ten digits extraordinarily careful as she slowly pulled them away from Irina, inch by inch, bit by bit, treating the swords and their scabbards with respect -- something that was a tad odd, considering Astraeus murdered deities for fun. Regardless. Perfect, silvery blades were revealed slowly, shining in the sun, shimmering and glimmering, though the air that surrounded the metal was pitch black, almost as if the light about a half centimeter around the swords was being sucked up, leaving it black as the abyss. Still, they were fine piece of craftsmanship, with razor-sharp edges and sharp tips, free of any chinks or blemishes, perfectly symmetrical.[/i]

"You don't have to get me a dagger, I.. I was just suggesting it, just in case. But.. Aurum and Argentum. Aurum and Argentum." [i]Irina would continue to recite those two words with a simple, curious loving, her light blue eyes glinting off of those beautiful, shining edges. She would flush beautifully, with an ample smile crossing her pale face as Astra would both plant her loving smooch and unsheathe those two fantastical blades. Irina would look up, nodding silently towards the magnificent angel that had gifted such tools to her.[/i] "Oh.. thank you. So.. when shall we begin the hunt? We can begin now, or later.. whenever you should feel it to be time, though I feel as if now would be the best opportunity to begin." [i]Indeed, Irina was not only a happy little psychopath with two incredibly terrifying yet beautiful swords, but she was quite eager to assist the angel and love of her life. Afterwards.. she figured that she and Astraeus could try a few things together, without being disturbed by the Dojo or asshole gods.[/i]

"You should wield your own swords first, sweet lady, for it is a foolish decision to head into battle with weapons you neither know nor trust. Get a feel for their weight, their grips in your hand, their edge to the wind..." [i]Astra smiled, sliding the swords back down into their respective sheaths, slowly and carefully, until the blades were hidden and the guard kissed the metal that rimmed the two scabbards. Irina still held their sheaths in hand, grips only a little bit away... she was used to her Rakuyo, so surely Aurum and Argentum would mean little difficulty?[/i] "...oh, and also: do not leave the swords separated for too long. They are a pair, and you should keep them as such... I fear they get horribly sick when they miss their twin." [i]What a weird way to talk about a pair of weapons... The angel snapped her fingers once more, right hand opening, flat palm facing the sky. Blue flames flickered up as she likely summoned in the dagger Irina requested, pulling it from some extensive arsenal in between the seams of the worlds, calling it, beckoning it, to its Master's hand. Soon enough, she held it, the sheath it was kept within presented across her hand, fingers deftly wrapping around it. She got Irina's attention back with a quick whistle, the dagger held towards her, grip facing the sky. It was like a significantly smaller version of the twin blades the Vileblood held, only about a single foot in length, four inches of which were dedicated to the grip, eight to the blade. It lacked a guard, though the black leather-wrapped hilt was bottomed with a heart-shaped pommel made from silvery metal. The sheath itself was adorned like those of Aurum and Argentum both, fabricated from hardened black leather and reinforced - while simultaneously embroidered - by metal.[/i] "I hope this will fulfill your needs."

[i]Oh, how the combination of weaponry would prove useful in the battles to come, Irina thought. She would allow her left hand to take the sheaths of the two swords, her right hand left free after the movement in the case that she would take the dagger as well. Though, Astra's words would prove true: she would need some time to adapt and train with the two newly acquired weapons. Hopefully, Aurum and Argentum didn't mind. And if they did.. well, running with only the dagger, assuming that it was just as godly, was an option too.[/i] "When could I possibly train with the two swords, though? Preferably with you, too. The people here would lead armies just to acquire such tools. Although it would be practice, I'm not taking that chance, even if Aurum and Argentum deny them and go blunt." [i]"Go blunt" was the simplest that Irina could put it, concerning Astra's own warning about the two weapons. At the suggestion of keeping them together, Irina would simply nod, nothing more. Though the knife was.. interesting. She figured that Astra had much more kept away within her inventory. She would have to thank the angel, somehow..[/i] [i]Well, we know how that'll end up.[/i]
