Swords, honestly.  Any idiot can make a sword.  It takes a genius to craft anything worthwhile, but of course he doesn't appreciate the time and effort put into--well.  I can do better than a sword, anyway.

Erm.  Blitza?  As much as I've enjoyed working for you, I'm afraid I'm quitting.  I've made enough money to convert a room in the mansion into a

You're an inventor? That's great. Not too many are. And I don't understand the sword part. Inventors usually don't make swords. Someone else does. At least I'm pretty sure they do.

An inventor and a genius. Not many people can lay claim to both, I don't think.

I certainly don't make swords. They're simple--anyone with basic metal-working knowledge can make a sword.

A genius too? That's really good. And it's good that you're confident in that as well. Not all people are. At least not all geniuses are.

Muscle helps too.

At last, someone who can appreciate confidence! What's your name?

Ah. Well. Yes, it helps, but muscle is easier to come by than brilliance. There are far more burly idiots pounding away at forges than geniuses creating fine, intricate pieces of weaponry.

I'm Abby Sciuto. And I like confidence. I like it when people know they're good at something. And not just good but one of the best at it too.

It's true. The stereotype is truer than a lot of people realize.

Hello then, Abby. I'm Carl.

Oddly enough, most people confuse confidence and pride. I can't imagine why.

[caf_pow_girl]

Hello Carl. Nice to meet you.

Well, they are easily confused. And people do tend to cross the line between the two. There's nothing wrong with a healthy dose of confidence though. I mean, I'm a Forensic Specialist and I know that I'm one of the best in what I do.

[somekindofsin]

Well! If you're one of the best, I won't be accusing you of having an inflated ego. The truth is the truth.

[caf_pow_girl]

Exactly. An inflated ego is something else entirely. You know what I'm talking about already!
