"Hey, Reiko, may I ask you something?" Envy raised her hand, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. A shiver danced down Daniel's spine – a mixture of apprehension and something he couldn't quite place.

"Can you fight? Do you use a sword?" Envy asked, her amusement evident.

Reiko's smile widened slightly. "Indeed, Lady Envy. While I possess combat training, my weapon of choice in my former life was the naginata. Ancestral tradition and all," she explained with a light chuckle. "Though I am more than willing to learn the intricacies of a blade should the need arise."
