>"Well, don't get stabbed, then!" says Sanae, as you turn and depart.
>You make your way back down the mountain and toward the puppy turtle house. The trip is an easy one, along the way you congratulate yourself for resisting the urge to tease Sanae by bringing up the past.
>Landing outside of the magicains' house, you see that there is no one outside.

>You knock on the door. After a moment, it opens to reveal a somewhat frazzled-looking Maribel. "Oh, hello," she says. "Sorry, you just caught us right after supper. Is there anything we can do for you?"
>Why did she have to say supper? You've been going on excitement for awhile, and it's really starting to catch up to you.

>You show Maribel the Broken Sword Blade. She frowns at it. "That's not English at all..."
>She looks back inside. "Hey Renko, get out here and have a look at this sword Nue has."
>"Huh?" comes Renko's voice.
>The door opens wider as she steps out, smoothing her wildly-colored dress. "Wow, where'd you get that?"
>"Can you read it?" Maribel asks.
>"Not a bit. You think it's Greek?"
>"No, Greek looks more like Russian than that. Maybe it's Arabic?"
>"You mean Farsi?"
>"Yeah, that one."
>Renko frowns at the blade. "Maybe. But the sword looks more German than Arabic."
>Maribel crosses her arms. "Really? When did you know about swords?"
>"I just said it looks German," says Renko with a frown. "I mean, if some German berserker were about to cut your head off, this is totally what the sword would look like."
