There are all kinds of crazy stories about the sword, you know. Stories about how it was so powerful, it could cleave a mountain in two. I've seen the other you use it to cut through reality itself.

To be honest, I was kind of hoping you had the sword here with you, then you could... I don't know, do something crazy like cut your way back to our world. Maybe it's farfetched, but it's good to have something to pin your hopes on, right? [He gives a self-deprecating smile, taking another drink of his tea.]
