"Ha!" laughed Saint as he approached Guts as he trained. "Now that, my friend, is impressive. Even Shaxx would feel inadequate when faced with such a weapon!"

The Exo strode up without any equipment, as he wasn't intending to do any weapons training today. He had other exercises in mind.

"If I could intrude, friend, would you be interested in a sparring partner? That--" he gestures to the giant hunk of metal Guts was swinging around "--looks to be the perfect thing to test my abilities against."

You know what? It's hard to stay completely dour and serious with Saint around. He can't help but brighten up a little as this odd metal dude just saunters over in such a good mood.

"Well, if it ain't the guy responsible for spreadin' around that cake."

Guts remembers seeing him, even if they didn't interact directly before.

"You sure you want me to cut you with this?"

Pensive, he tilts the Dragonslayer's edge away. Granted, the guy had a sturdy build and was made of metal - but he's vociferously cut through things made of metal before. He'd at least like to get an idea of what he was dealing with before whacking someone with his sword.

"I tried my best," he replied with a laugh, "but at least half of it ended up in the trash just from picking out the...less edible bits, yes?"

Saint smiles again at Guts's question, and shakes his head.

"Me? Not so much. Back home, I could come back from that, but here I am much weakened. I am looking to test this instead."

At that, he causes a glowing, purple shield to manifest on his arm, tapping against it with his free hand.

"I would like to see how much punishment it can take before we find ourselves in a real fight."

Testing out his equipment. Not a bad idea.

"Okay. What do you usually block with it?"

Trying to gauge how hard he should smack his buddy here. He wants to provide a good challenge with a controlled blow, if nothing else.
