Yesplease!

[Bouncing!!!]

Ah... Well, I must admit, implementing such a blade wouldn't be very fair against normal weaponry.

...and I haven't really actually used a blade much before...

[managerbehindthrone]

[A glance around at the space on offer that isn't taken up by Donnie's modifications, then Esmeryl stands and is soon back in her rootmode. With a graceful flourish and a flash of light, the naginata is summoned, and then she's soon sitting seiza style, weapon resting across her lap.

It's as somewhat bigger as she is -42' long in total- It is a deceptively simple looking weapon; something more for the common foot soldier or grunt than befits someone like Esme. But, closer inspection will reveal a plethora of ornate and subtle details.

The edge of the blade is extremely sharp, but she also expects Donnie not to touch said edge.

She smiles down at him.] Do not concern yourself with what is 'fair' in a fight. You wish to win, do you not?

[Fair? in a fight? Sounds like something to be exploited.]

I was brought online with this weapon and I have faced and won against my darling with it. [She sounds so smug about that despite the kind smile.] Should you wish it, I am amenable to teaching you the art of bladed polearms.

[He hasn't had many guests as tall as Esmeryl, but he's always been mindful to leave the front area of his room open to at least allow a Cybertronian comfortable entry. It's always impressive to watch them transform, and it's the first time he's watched one go from an animal form into something humanoid. Ah, but that weapon..!]

Ohhhh it's beautiful....

[He activates his battle shell, zipping over closer to her like a tiny bug, circling around the haft of the weapon as he goes up and up, taking in the details...and taking pictures. He keeps a careful distance from the blade's edge once he gets high enough, flying up to its tip. Then he drifts back down closer to where Esmeryl's hand holds the weapon itself, looking back up along its length. Already he's considering designs and mentally reworking them.

It takes a moment before he looks to Esmeryl herself as her offer sinks in.]

Really?? Oh, I'd love that!

[managerbehindthrone]

Thank you.

[She adores it. It really is the best weapon after teeth and claws.]

Indeed. The first lesson will be fashioning yourself a wooden naginata to start with.

[She's more than happy for him to think this is for safety reasons, and not because she doesn't want Autobots or those with stricter pesky morals coming after her if one of the organics ends up hurt on her watch.

Idiots. He's more than old enough to know basic weapon safety.]

And, before I forget, perhaps now might be good time to collect a sample of my colour changing paints, too?

[thepurpleone]

A wooden... [He only looks briefly disappointed. A practice weapon makes sense, even though his father hadn't really hesitated in giving them the real deal when they were children. Now that he thinks about it, Donnie's amazed they hadn't accidentally lopped off any fingers or something with Leo's sword.

He looks up at Esmeryl's again, but it's a bit hard to really eyeball measurements when she's sitting.]

What's the ratio of blade to haft and that compared to your height?

-Oh! Right!

[Almost forgot about that!]
