What? WHAT!? Give it back or pay for it!? That---!!! Well, that is just... RUDE! And completely undercuts his plan to steal it with no repercussions! "Oh, I got the skill and I'd be happy to show you them any time." Actually, he's a bit rusty. Still a damn fine swordsman, but he's gotten lazy since being infected with the worms that make him immortal. No longer a killer of 100, but still a very deadly man with a blade in his hand.

"And what if it breaks or I have to leave it behind for a tactical retreat? I'm going to be out there riskin' my neck for you people and you're going to charge me if this light sword gets stolen?" He wants a free sword, damn it!
