Ducia sits back, brow furrowing in thought. "I mean, a longsword would be the classic choice, but mine are all super heavy and could hurt you even with safety equipment, so I suppose I could use a feder? But they look kind of silly compared to a longsword thanks to the schilt, so maybe we could try a slightly different classic and go for a French saber, get some of that military flavor. Oh, but you know, a Spanish rapier and that iconic destreza fighting stance would really set the scene – but wait, all my rapiers are based on Italian designs..." Her eye roams around her imagined armory, then back to Zola's flushed and confused face. "... You didn't think I was talking about actual swords, did you."
She at least has the tact to look embarrassed by the mistake, before pulling open the drawer of the other kind of swords.
