[This very early morning, Cecil looks positively giddy. Alarmingly giddy, even.]

Look at these beauties! At their craftmanship! At their ornamentation!

[The beauties in question are probably meant to be the pile of Honedges that Cecil is practically shoving at the camera. Seriously, look at them.]

I'd long hoped to find proper weapons in this world someday, but I'd never imagined they'd be sentient! Or so easy to please, for that matter.

[Every single one of them looks oiled and polished already, and that is most certainly a very large and nearly empty box of chocolate on the bench behind them. Never seen a dozen happy swords being spoiled to death before? Well, now you have!]

But I suppose not everyone is lucky enough to see these lovelies for themselves. I can help with that, but if you wish to adopt one, do say so quickly. Otherwise, I might decide to keep them all for myself.

[The idea tempts him. Oh, how it tempts him.]

I'll have to teach any potential adopter proper weapon maintenance first, of course, but I've no doubt everyone here can learn quickly. It's simple, once you know the steps and have practiced a few times! First, you must-

I hope not, for their sakes. Now that level 100 Pokémon are commonplace, their revenge might not end as well as it would have, say, three years ago.

Oh, it almost assuredly wouldn't, but that's never really stopped anyone, has it?

...No, it never has, even though you'd think someone would finally learn better.

Well, you would, but they never do. It would be more surprising if that would actually happen at some point.
