Heh, I'm excited now.
I don't know why, but reading that helps.
Oh, most importantly, (and this is another one off, never again will I use this phrase!), how does it feel?
How does it feel to cross blades, to hear that distinctive swish, to jump about with a blade in your hand and save the god damn day!
(I'm a little obsessed with sword fights, out of my twelve or so stories dating back to childhood, I've had only one without a sword fight, and nearly always a rapier!)
