He slipped into his explanation of sharpening easily from there, happy to share his knowledge with a friend who listened as politely as Soh did. When he finished and she said nothing he didn't seem to mind.

The courier's nose wrinkled at the mention of the Warden but he kept his thoughts locked behind his teeth as he lifted the blade to examine the edge. Nodding in satisfaction, he turned the weapon and began to sharpen the other side when he realized his gesture would probably be taken as a response to Soh's request. "Uh-- I mean, yeah, of course I'd be happy t-- wait, did you say 'fly?'" He paused in honing the blade to turn his head to look at her in surprise.
