Severin smiled and slowly, carefully drew his boot knife. It wasn't particularly menacing or vicious-looking. Functionally, it was or cutting flesh from bone, a cookware tool. However, the slight curve was delicate as any found on a cavalry sword and the blade's sharpness could be seen from across the room. The slight blue hue along the blade looked like an enchantment until he turned it and it caught the light.
The knife happened to fit neatly into his boot sheath, not balanced or weighted for combat but striking in it's quality and the intricate engravings along the handle. He dropped it on the table with a heavy "thunk". It didn't bounce or clatter but lay heavily on the table, gleaming in the soft candlelight. A single opal decorated the cap of the knife's handle.
"That's a bread knife. They like to show off their metalwork at formal dinners. Now, we do too. Importing their metalwork and jewelry has been fairly profitable."
She didn't react to his implied wealth and Severin relaxed into the overstuffed cushions in his chair. The feeling of her eyes on him felt more comfortable, more intimate. As she removed her armor, he took in her body. The hard leather cuirass protecting her vitals revealed a simple cotton blouse clinging to her, pale skin peeking through the damp sweat.
"Exquisite," he said breathily.
