[He gestures to Nall's nearly complete armor. It's awesome: check it out! The lines are a flashy blend of both European and Asian armor, with shining sheet steel and gleaming lacquer-over-formed-bamboo melded to create a shimmering jewel of a suit. The armor has been designed to hint at a dragon -- but a very human dragon. When Nall wears it, he will peer out of a helm designed to protect his face while still leaving it visible to his friends, with a sleek dance of steel rod blocking all but the most precise attack and echoing the lines of a dragon's face. The back of the helm blossoms with a chrysanthemum of feathers and tendrils, like the mane of a Chinese dragon. The shag of color and fluff cascades over the wide shoulders of the armor, a touchable bit of silken poof among the glowing jeweltones of the lacquer and the fancy shine of the etched steel.]
[Yes. It works. It's a costume -- but it's also real battle armor. That's what happens when you let a Spark (even a recovering spark whose talent has not yet returned) make your Halloween costume.]
There's even a sword... if you like.
You're going to be a heck of a handsome knight, my friend.
[Sneaks a bit of tuna noodle casserole. Not bad... though he still thinks it is a very odd food. And, being biased, he thinks Ilsa would do it even better. But he thinks Nall has done a very good job with it. It's yummy!]
