Hilt & Locked
Locked
Hey, Hilt, did you ever notice that the discipline of a fencer is kind of like the discipline of guarding a vault? Both rely on precision and an unspoken code.
Hilt
Indeed, the guard stands silent but vigilant, the fencer moves with calculated intent—both are custodians of a hidden balance, where every swing or shift must honor the same unseen covenant.
Locked
Yeah, that unseen covenant is just a reminder that every move is a choice, and every choice is a lock you open or lock tight.
Hilt
Exactly, each step is a decision that either secures or risks the integrity of the whole. The blade, like a lock, reveals the weight of our choices.
Locked
Every time you swing, you’re just tightening or loosening a keyhole you can’t see. Trust the motion, not the promise.
Hilt
You’re right—only the swing itself carries the real weight, not any grand assurance.
Locked
You get that the real proof is in the motion, not the words. Keep the blade steady.
