Outlaw waited with a wagging tail, clearly enjoying Art discovering his new present. If you work hard on a gift the best thing in the world is to see the pup happy with it. The gaping mouth and then bounding in to get his present was enough already to make it all worth it. Seeing the pup brandishing his new sword that really looked like the sword he saw in some wall images made it all the better. Outlaw nodded to the question, “Yup! It was lots of fun to figure out. I like making things you know. I’m no fighter so never thought I’d make a sword of any sort but, it seemed if you were going to train hard to make yourself stronger you ought to get a better sword to match up! I hope that ones good enough for all the work your doing. I tried to make it a size that you could use now but would also be useful to you as you get bitter.” The wood wouldn’t cut anything of course and that was fine with Outlaw. Bashing would be good enough, wouldn’t it? Outlaw moved next to him when he mentioned the harness, “Yup, that’s part of the plain. This was the first thing I figured you needed actually. Having to carry the stick seemed a bit of a problem for you. Too often you’d need to drop it or have a hard time talking and other things. I figured you needed something to put it in.” Outlaw pawed at the sheath, “So I knew to make that much, but then I had to figure out how it would stay in place, if it just roams all over you when you walk its another hindrance.” Outlaw was being Outlaw, once he started talking he kept going. “So, I figured you’d need it held in place by two means. So this point,” tapping one of the harness loops, “goes around the head to rest on your chest and the other part,” tapping the back loop, “will go around your belly. They connect with the sword holder which will keep it in place. At the same time the leather should help absorb any damage if someone tries to bite or claw you there.” The tail had slowed as he had explained it all, not due to less joy so much as focusing on what he was saying, it picked up again as he added, “oh, and the sword has both a circle towards the bottom and that cross part between where you hold and swing it. If you drop it on the ground that means there’s a little small bit of air between part of the sword and ground so its easier to scoop up in a hurry!” Outlaw was quite happy with himself, “The rope part you keep in your mouth when using it. If you have to drop the sword the rope will keep the sword from falling so you won’t risk losing it.” Outlaw might not be a fighter but creating things and figuring out how to make them useful was fun. Scooping up the harness in his mouth he plopped one end of it over Art’s head, nudding the rest of it to Art’s front legs, “Step over this and we’ll get it around your chest. Since your still growing got some braided vines in between the leather right now, easier to adjust. Once your full height we’ll remove those. Just gotta tie it over here and you’ll be all set.” Speech:"Life is but a game " Think
