[oathkeeper]

[Okay, she's got him beat there.

Sora gives her a bright confident smile.]

Good news for you, I've got both of those things! [And to even demonstrate he summons his keyblade in hand and poses dramatically.] Ready anytime!

[savioring]

[....... Lightning is not quite sure what to think of that 'sword'. It just.... It looks literally like a giant key.]

Are you sure that's supposed to be a sword?

[oathkeeper]

[RUDE It's okay Lightning, he's heard this a million times over. He's not sure why everyone looks at his weapon with such confusion. It'a a pretty normal weapon where he comes from. So he sighs.]

Positive. It is a sword! It swings and cuts like any other sword. Just because it looks different doesn't mean it isn't.

[savioring]

.... It looks like a toy.

[Like something a parent tries to give a kid as a way to shut them up at a festival.

She can't take you seriously right now.]

[oathkeeper]

[A TOY? ...he lifts it up to look at it. Well... he guesses it kind of looks like one. But still. It's nothing to be taken lightly!]

Judging a book by its cover isn't very nice you know, Lighting!

[He tilts his head, wondering.] Wanna see me cut that tree in half?

[savioring]

[Sora. This is Lightning. She judges everything.

Cutting a tree in half?]

I think I'd be more impressed seeing you cut a rock in half. Trees are too easy.

[oathkeeper]

[Hey he can do that! That's easy mode! He's beaming at her again.]

Got it! Just watch this, and then we'll see what's a toy!

[Good thing they're in a park. He glances around and spots a decent sized boulder nearby. Without hesitation Sora attacks it with a barrage combo the usual colorful sparks flying off his blade. Just to be flashy he obliterates the boulder with Slap Shot and dust and rock go everywhere.

He turns back to her expectantly.]

[savioring]

[You get a sigh of exasperation. Lighting shakes her head.]

I said cut in half, not annihilate.

[Do you not listen?]

[oathkeeper]

What- I just-

[Sora wilts like a kicked puppy., shoulders sagging and head drooping.]

...Aw man...

[He just wanted to show off a little! His weapon is not a toy!]

[savioring]

[Sorry, but that expression on your face is just more amusing than it should be. Light maintains a straight face in the end.]

You need to learn to listen better. Still, I'm impressed that toy blade of yours even put a dent into that rock.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora sighs, exasperated.]

It's not a toy, Lightning! I mean it!

[He then dissipates the weapon and changes key-chains just to see if can convince her this way. Maybe if he changed to a more "sword" looking keyblade she'd change her mind? He swaps to Guardian Soul and summons it again.]

How about this one? It's modeled after a sword that belongs to one of the strongest guys I know.

[Not to mention it's one of his favorites, being a god and all.]

[savioring]

[Now that she knows it annoys you, she might just keep calling it a toy. It's called teasing, Sora.

Lightning puts her hand against her chin, looking it over.]

The actually looks like a sword, but the key teeth kind of make it look some weird, flat chocobo.

[oathkeeper]

[But he gets teased all the time! Just one person that doesn't tease him who isn't from where he is from...please. Just one? Nah, not happening, is it?]

I guess kind of. But do they ever work well when I'm fighting. They stick right in!

[It's definitely one of his more sharper looking keyblades.]

Hey, you know what a chocobo is?

[Sora's actually never seen a chocobo himself before. But he's got keyblades named after them.]

[savioring]

I prefer something that can slice through the enemy and not get stuck.

[Lightning nods. They're one of her favorite creatures back home because of Odin.]

Yes. Back where I'm from they're a mode of transportation for hunters. They are also good fighting companions.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora shrugs.] It hasn't been too much of a problem for me so far! Then again, I fight pretty fast so it doesn't happen much.

[He brightens at her explanation of chocobos.]

Whoa! I'd love to see one someday. I've heard a lot about them but I've never actually seen one. I had no idea you could have one as a fighting buddy!

[He wannntsss oneeeee.]

[savioring]

[It's still something to consider, especially with enemies that have a lot of muscle or fat.]

The one I had as a companion was the strongest one of all. Just not exactly friendly with anyone but me.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora snickers, giving her a playful grin.]

Picky who it's friendly with? Sounds like someone else around here, huh?

[savioring]

[Lightning puts a hand to her before shaking it. She doesn't look upset at least.]

You're just as bad as an idiot I know.

[oathkeeper]

[His grin turns into a fond smile.]

I heard I'm good for stuff like that!

[He dissipates his weapon with a little blink and tucks his arms behind his head.]

If you ever get your chocobo here, you've gotta show me, okay?

[savioring]

[Just don't keep calling yourself a hero around her. Only Snow can do that.]

I think I gotta show everyone. An idiot here didn't believe me when I told him they existed.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora frowns, shaking his head.]

We're stuck in the heavens were we're all gods, half of us are from strange worlds with magic and animal people, all of us are from different timelines and dimensions and that's what they don't believe? [Sora laughs.] Some people.

[savioring]

[.... the man in question eventually got punched by Lightning for a different reason.]

If I ever meet that guy again, I might hit him again just for being a smug bastard about how horses are normal everywhere.
