Drake would sheath his sword and reach out taking the blood blade while retracing the arm back into his body. He would look at the blood sword where it connected with Lorelai's sword...
"I'm no Qi expert... but... it looks like your sword drained the Qi out of my blood where it connected..."

She made a soft noise, standing up straighter. She sheathed her own sword in one fluid, familiar motion, and dropped her hand from the hilt. She was still in a bit of pain from the throw, but did not show it.
Lorelai contemplated the implications of that. She, like every other TSI agent, understood what their weapons could do, but this was the first time she had seen it in action.
"Only where it connected?"

"So far as I can tell."
He nodded.

That was interesting. It was a definite weakness to her ability, and one she would have to somehow find a way around.
She reached up to place one hand on her own shoulder, rubbing lightly where it connected with her neck... the exact place where she had somehow managed to land a blow on Drake.
He had offered her information without demanding much from her. Honor dictated... that she return the favor.
"It was my sword."

He tilted his head to the side.
"Your sword?"

She nodded, and lovingly ran her fingers down the hilt. She wasn't sure what else he wanted her to say, and so she fell back into her typical silence. He'd either ask more specific questions, or come to the conclusion himself.

He would ponder for a moment before something dreadfully scary occurred to him...
"I don't suppose that is some kind of Ancient relic passed down through generations in your family by any chance..."
Drake asked. Knowing the answer was going to be no, but REALLY wishing it was going to be yes.

Ancient relic? Was that still something people did? Her parents had hoped against all hope that she would eventually put the sword DOWN. She couldn't see them passing down some kind of relic.
She shook her head.

He sighed and paced for a moment the blood sword returning to his wound. He sighed...
"So, TSI issued you that weapon?"

Lorelai gave a little shrug. She didn't deny it, but she also wouldn't confirm.

Drake's jaw tightened. As he just nodded.
"Gotcha. Well. Are we done here?"

She hesitated a moment, contemplating that. She wasn't entirely certain if Drake would come back, once he left, unless she sweetened the deal.
"If you come back again, and fight me... you'll learn more about my sword." And she could learn more about how to defend herself and others from whatever bad Meta's came around.

Drake stopped at the door and nodded.
"Fair enough. Any time you want to practice. Let me know."
He would say. He would see a dry erase board and markers and he would write down his number.
"Call or text if you need me."
With that he would leave.
