Anything Eileen might have thought to say completely abandoned her brain at the mention of Nanshe's sword. Nanshe's sword. Eileen had loved the very idea of that sword from the moment she learned the thing existed, even if Anais couldn't use it due to it being wrong for her spec. Still, she could see it now. And it would be the real sword! How often did anyone get the opportunity to see something like that?

Still... what if Alison had been wrong? What if Nadir wasn't actually what she had said he was...?

"It's the real sword?" she asked, flinching a little when she realized just how hopeful that had sounded. Oh, God, did that make her sound too eager?
