Cavalry weapon? [The comment came after a few more swings, each one more fluid than the last.] Cavalry. I see. Yes. This is a bit more versatile than the standard sabres in close combat. Not as much reach as the lance, however...
[He held the weapon out, and there, barely visible, was the slightest of smiles.]
Thank you for indulging me. It's an interesting weapon.
