The Lalafell took the sword as it was proffered, handling it well enough considering it was sized for someone four to five times his size to wield two-handed. He tilted it this way and that, eyeing the blade's edge as the Elezen explained what she thought was the issue. At the mention of looseness, he rattled the weapon a little to check how the blade was seated in the guard and tsked quietly at the result.
"Ah, yeah, 's a bit loose all right. Th' tang's probably worn down some," he murmured thoughtfully. "Tha's a pretty easy fix, though. Just hafta tighten th' hilt a lil' - I can have it done in a quarter bell, easy. Can put a whetstone ta th' edge some if'n ya like tha' sorta thin' too."
He paused then, returning his gaze to her.
"Though... if'n I may ask - why ya need discretion? Ya brought it in all magic-hidden 'n stuff..." He frowned - well, pouted may be more appropriate given his child-like facial features - as he mused on that point. "It ain't stolen or nothin' is it?"
He continued to stare at her, awaiting her response. Though, given that expression, it seemed more likely he'd just try to instill guilt into her rather than do anything if she actually did admit to theft. He still had hands on the blade, though, so keeping it to return to whatever rightful owner it belonged to was not out of the question either.
