Years ago I performed sword fighting demonstrations at a few of our regional Renaissance Festivals. I found through years of experience that by simply picking up a sword, I was almost instantly transformed from the most foul mood into a calm rational human being. Edged weapons still have that effect on me. I pick one up, and instinctively know that it's time to stop being an ass. I remember the first time I handled a flogger. I knew instantly that I could use one because it felt just like a sword hilt in my hand. For some reason though, when I'm angry and pick one up, I don't get that calming sense of reason which holding 4ft of steel gives me. In fact, if I were having the sort of mood you've described, Syn would be safer having me throw axes at her, than me hitting her with anything from the toybag. So where is this going? Know yourself, and your limitations. I know thats sort of a long read to get to that simple statement, but I'm in that kind of mood tonight. It sounds like you made the right choice. -SD-
