We can't. People have asked and tried.

[It's a mystery if he has tried that himself. Place your bets now.

Jean nods, reaching out a hand to Marco's chest. It starts glowing and he reaches inside. It doesn't take long and he pulls out the weapon he gets-

It's longer than he expects it to be, but eventually the whole weapon gets out (with orange tones).]

...

[It's not a weapon he's used before.]

Huh, I haven't seen a weapon like this before. Or at least, not so that I know much about it.

[sunspotted]

[ Jean wasn't kidding - he does feel dazed. It's a bit like when you stand up too fast from sitting, but it passes shortly, and he looks over the weapon. ]

It's... a spear? Mm, the head is a little different so not quite that. I didn't expect you to pull something metal out!

[ Then again, Marco is an Autumn, and metal manipulation is a part of his season. ]

Guessing that means some new training for you.

[rustyhonesty]

I'll figure out what it is and how you use it.

[Though it's similar to the Naginata he gets from Ayato, so he tests if he can follow the poses.]

Mmh. Doesn't feel quite right... figures, since it's definitely not the same as a polearm.

[ Their saviour comes in the form of another member of the guild passing through. She tells them the particular style of weapon is a 'lance', though this one is built for thrashing and slashing rather than driving through. She says it's a weapon used by knights in a lot of old stories, to show how their hearts and weapons were pure and driven. It's not a throwing weapon or as light as the naginata.

Marco thanks her for the explanation, and his eyes sparkle when he turns back to Jean. ]

A knights weapon, Jean!

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean also thanks the very helpful native, looking at Marco beaming and smiling himself. Marco's excitement about it is very contagious.]

I heard, you dork. Definitely a weapon that should be provided by you.

[Never mind the fact Jean was actually a knight in Avalon. As he's thought before, Marco would have fit the role a lot better. Hence, the lance was fitting.]

Though, does that make me your knight, since you bestowed it on me?

[He's teasing, a little.]

[sunspotted]

Nah. I don't need protecting.

[ Marco shakes his head a little, a mirthful expression on his face. ]

Using it to protect other people, though - that sounds like something we could do.

[ That had been - well, Marco's dream, for the Military Police. Before he learned what they were like. ]

[rustyhonesty]

I was joking.

[Mostly. He does want to protect Marco, but he doesn't want to make it obvious like he was. At the same time, he knows Marco's skillful enough to fend for himself.

Cheerfully, he explains.]

Though, being someone's knight isn't always about protecting them specifically. It's also about protecting their people. My lord back in Avalon certainly didn't need a bodyguard, so my main duties were to protect his lands.

And do some very annoying quests for the king, I guess. Technically, I had two bosses.
