"If you dont mind. I would rather keep the sword with
me until you verify my identity. I will leave the
house as I would not want to put you in the position
of having an unknown man under arms in your home. But
I am reluctant to give the sword up to anyone. I made
that sword 600 years ago and have held onto it ever
since. I hope you understand my position."

Julia looked at the man, the sword in her hands.  If
the man truly was a former member of the Legacy then
he should have known that identity checks should have
been done prior - and that weapons, whether an
emotional attachement was on them or not, were not to
be brought into a House without prior clearance.

And he said he had made it himself?

"You can have your sword at the gate." she said, her
security background kicking in "While someone carries
it with you watching and that's as polite as it's
going to get.  And please, don't argue with a pregnant
woman, you'll lose."

She had said it all in a half humorous tone but was
quite serious as she flicked the sword gently to test
the blade "And this sword is many centuries old,
easily, and a mate to one other sword.  For you to
have made it would first off make you immortal or
something like that... and one of two students of a
great Teacher.  I'm hoping you're the good one."
