I'll certainly give it the attempt. Perhaps you'll be an exception to the rule. And I would like that. I'm always willing to expand my own mind.

[Luke laughs]

A lightsaber is the weapon used by Jedi for the last 5,000 years. Its an energy blade that can cut through all but one known substance.

[Luke takes out a small, heavy ball of iron, and a 6 inch cylindrical tube that ignites with a hiss. He drops the ball into the green blade, neatly slicing it in half]

Cortosis Ore, a rare mineral from my world, is resistant to the edge. I've found nothing else capable of standing up to it.

[Loki is very pleased by this. He may well not be able to learn Luke's particular sort of magic, but trying will certainly be an interesting experience.]

Ah, interesting. I've only ever used steel blades. They seem to serve the purpose well enough.

[He watches the demonstration curiously.]

Impressive.

I think it would be more efficient to have the actual weapon, rather than attempting to ape its effect with magic.

[Luke deactivates the blade and nods]

Yes, that's likely the case. Unfortunately, constructing them is rather time-consuming and difficult, particularly with the parts that I have available. I managed to build one from scratch, a gift for a friend, and remove the limiter on my offhand blade, making it a full-length one that I loan during times of trouble. The real difficulty is finding a power cell. The rest of it is just metal tubing and crystal matrices altered through the Force.

I have, however, been working with Helios to attempt to enchant or otherwise create a power-supply via magic. Its slow going though.

[Loki snorts quietly.]

Time-consuming and difficult sound like ideal things at the moment, don't they.

[Since the whole point of this exercise, beyond curiosity, is to keep himself occupied while he waits and watches.]

I agree completely. Which is why I've worked on crafting them when I have the resources. My only real trouble is in finding that, though if you wanted to help with that I could definitely use it. I'd be willing to train you in the Battle Dome regardless, if you desire too, should you ever find yourself needing to use my spare.

I shall see what I can do.

[There are always the points from missions.]

I haven't worked with enchantments terribly often, but it's an interesting challenge to consider. I did the enchantments on my daggers, but those are much simpler than the sort of thing you're speaking of.

[He nods.]

I should like that. When would be convenient?

It could be worth a shot, if nothing else all we've lost is time. Which, as you say, we have plenty of.

[Luke's avoiding missions for the time being, for a number of reasons]

Anytime after noon would be fine. I do a shift at the clinic as a healer until 11, and then spend an hour training my friend to use her own lightsaber. After that? I'm free.

I'll work through the maths and see what presents itself.

[Loki thinks for a moment.]

Do you wish for this to be daily?

[He's fine with that, just needs to clarify.]

That's up to you. It isn't a quick thing, but I think meeting once or twice a week would be more than sufficient. Though more, or less, depending on your wishes.

Twice a week would do nicely. Tuesday and Thursday after lunch, perhaps?

That works for me. I'll see you then.

[He offers Loki a genuine smile]

May the Force be with you, Loki.

[Loki bows.]

Indeed.

[He turns away, then pauses, considering this particular way to part. The words are interesting, but more so is the way in which Luke says them, and in light of their conversation. Finally, he shoots a smile over his shoulder, something genuine and with an odd shade of shyness to it.]

And with you.

[Then he is gone.]
