I glance back at the man but he just stares at the saber with disinterest, seeing nothing more than a simple, strange but average blade. He did say he tried everything in his arsenal to identify it, so it's clearly beyond his capabilities, therefore his loss of interest is understandable.
I glance towards Ayame who has been observing the saber silently since I first approached it. She must've realized that I've identified something interesting thanks to my unique race that the blacksmith couldn't hence my interest. "What do you think of this weapon?" I inquire.
