[At first there is only white, white and a pair of red eyes. They're quickly pushed away and replaced by the face of a young man with a rugged appearance. His grey eyes peer down at the Forge the same way that many do the first time they use one - confused and maybe just a little awed. Jon's just gotten one of his own, despite waking up in a cage a

I ...don't think that war is here. It's sort of war-free at the moment, kind of in a wind-down after the bleeding people eaty elves that came out of the mi---

Do you know about swords?

Here being Anatole, as you've probably been told a bunch of times.
It's true. As weird as it sounds, it's totally true. Unless you're talking to liars, which also happens, but ...mostly it doesn't.
It's really too bad that there isn't some kind of lie-ometer attached to the Forge, or lie indicator like ...nose growing or, I don't know ...turning blue in the face or something, but...
...that's a Forge, by the way. And I do. Know about swords. Not as much as I'd like to know because no matter how much people think it's awesome to give me pointers, it still comes down to stay inside Dawn or get behind me, Dawn, or...
...Dawn is me, by the way. [As in stop talking, Dawn. That one's popular, too, and I'm sure you can see why.]
I haven't seen anyone getting their march on, but I can keep an eye out.

[He looks kind of amused though. That is definitely someone's little sister, especially since she speaks of people protecting her.]
I can give you a really good pointer, if you'd like.

Is the pointer shut up Dawn? Because if it is, I've heard that one before. And I see where you're coming from. Kind of literally thanks to the trusty video setting.
Go ahead, hit me. With pointers, I mean.

That is not the pointer, ...Dawn? My advice is the same that I gave to my little sister. The first lesson of sword fighting is that you stick them with the pointy end.

[God. What even. Make it stop.]
Ooh, good, I know that one! And it's good advice, especially concerning crossbows. I shot myself with a crossbow once.

I'm all out of gift baskets, but I owe you one when I stock up again. Should I include...

[Now he ponder the mystery that is gift baskets.]
Ghost isn't a dog. He's a direwolf.

She's still a kitten, actually. Which is really weird because she's over a year old. Huh.
But I'm way better with the crossbow now, and I never ever keep it on the floor.
And loaded, I mean. Sometimes I---
---his name is Ghost? Woah. When I first got here Naruto had a dog that was actually a ghost. I ...don't remember his name, though. Naruto isn't here anymore, and I don't know about the ghost-dog, but...
[random train of thought!]
...I wonder what would be in a wolf-treat? It can't be any weirder than weetabix-and-blood, which---oh! Oh! Sometimes it isn't over when you've stopped breathing.
Vampires.
Vampires don't breathe. At least in theory. I've seen a few out of breath before, and I always wonder what the heck is up with that, but forget to ask.
Thanks for reminding me. Next time I see Spike or Angel? Totally asking this.
Did Ghost come with you? Or is he from the Mist? Direwolves live out there, you know.

How is it that vampires don't breathe?
And yes, he came with me. Are there really direwolves out there? Have you seen them?
