Laertes's smile softens. "The style of bladeplay favors delicate passes--I've watched master fencers trade above twenty moves with their blades never straying from a circle the size of thy fist, and each one was as dire a threat as any o'er-eager lunge. A fight with a rapier is subtle; it moves more like a dance than like a march."
