Oh? I won't turn down a sparring partner, if you're interested. I could use the practice.
[It's been well over a year at this point since she used that sword against a real foe. Though she's been using the months since her arrival to attempt to regain some of the condition she'd lost after her leg injury, she knows she's not at the level she was even two years prior.]
It's a fencing blade, though, not a cutting sword. Would I be correct in assuming you favour a different weapon?
[Given that Bel can not shapechange into weaponry, Lilias assumes Kaladin means that his spren is something like a familiar. She can't recall seeing such a thing any of the times she encountered him, but perhaps it was always in the form of an object.]
I can take one.
[Probably. She can probably figure out how to take a picture.
After several minutes, the image finally arrives: a delicate-looking silver rapier lying atop slightly-rumpled blankets, next to its black leather sheathe.]
The blade is a little over a metre long. But you and Syl are probably better off seeing it in person, regardless.
[It isn't as though they could spar without being in the same place anyway.]
That's a beautiful sword It looks like it's made for thrusting
( lowers his hand to his side as he stares at the picture, the idea forming from mist. syl doesn't struggle with her creative mind, forming a perfect replica of lilias' rapier. it's a bit flat, however, and kaladin agrees: )
It's coming together but you're right Seeing it and holding it is better than looking at it on a screen You should have a proper opponent in no time
[Lilias beams like a proud parent when Kaladin compliments her sword. It is beautiful, yes. For all that she hasn't used the sword in battle in quite a while, she's still very attached to it.]
I have some experience with the smaller varieties, but a full-sized spear? No.
But I will gladly introduce you to my sword when we see each other next.
[They do still have that wine to drink, after all.]
[So, he wants to see her use a short spear? Hopefully he's not disappointed; even in her prime, she never had the passion for the spear that she did for fencing.]

Unity honour freedom of choice
Just as your sword is sentimental to you and holds meaning
( it was odd to hear of a woman wielding a sword. now, in just a year, it's become commonplace.
what will change next? everything, he hopes. )
You should show me what you can do

[A rapier is not really a weapon for soldiers.]

I use a spear but I'm trained to use knives and swords
A few other things too
No fencing blades though
If I got a good look at it Syl could likely imitate it
( ... )
She's what's called a spren
I suppose she's a bit like Bel but she's been silent since I arrived
She forms into any weapon I need at the time
Do you have a picture
