Vena's had a chance to calm down some and squint at the sword Lashan had kept bundled up for a dramatic reveal. "Hey, that's a spring sword," she says suddenly.

"So you finally noticed! Yeah, that was the only fall one, as you well know." Vena had taken a sword with the Healer's blessing on it, not hard to imagine why. Soft-hearted girl, Lashan thinks, aware of her own hypocrisy. "You'd better uncover it. Let him hold it for a minute, even if he thinks he's too big and strong for a good short sword."

The girl's just going to start rustling through the mattress now. Lashan bites back another comment and turns again to Guts. Surely he doesn't think he's just going to go clear the bandits out himself without even finding out how many or what exactly they're doing. She says, "Come by the forge. See how much effort it actually takes to mend a sword, let alone make one. Maybe you can even manage to help."
