Punisher & Garan
Garan
Punisher, I hear your steel never rusts—tell me, what's your secret? I make a few swords myself, and every blade holds a story.
Punisher
Steel stays solid when you keep it clean, dry, and coated. I don’t have a secret, just proper care and a lot of discipline. It’s the same with a sword—treat it right and it lasts.
Garan
You’re right, discipline beats any fancy trick. Keep the steel clean, dry, coated, and you’ll have a blade that whispers back when you swing it. That’s the real craft.
Punisher
If you can keep it that way, you can trust it when the job demands.
Garan
Exactly. When the storm comes, the blade that has seen the same sun and sweat will bend with you, not break. That's why I keep my forge and my hammers quiet and steady. Keep that, and you'll never doubt your sword.
Punisher
Got it. Stick to that, and you stay ready.
