A careful hand drew a cloth lightly over the length of gleaming black metal, drawing a faint, quavering hum from the blade. “Missed a spot,” a sleepy voice murmured.

Adamantine paused for a moment. “Where?” He asked in a hushed tone.

“Up and to the left,” the sleepy voice replied. “Almost… no, back…wait, no, up….” There was another pleasant chime from the steel. “Right there.”

At this point, a book came flying out nowhere which Adamantine didn’t manage to duck. He looked back at the girl who threw it.

“Stop polishing your sword in here, Adamantine, you’re going to attract the shippers.” She took a breath and continued, “And stop muttering to yourself, it’s creepy.”

Adamantine sighed and rose from his chair, leaning the flat of the blade against his shoulder. “Fine,” He huffed, “I’ll go somewhere else then.”

“Yeah, sure,” the now not-so-sleepy voice added, “throw us to the wolves, why don’t you?”

Adamantine just shook his head and left the room. “You’re not helping, you know,” he told the voice.

“Well what’s the point of being able to talk if you have to shut up all the time?” the sword demanded. “It’s not like you’re smarter than me. You are me, remember? Or I’m you… or something.?

“How did an AU Version of me end up as a sword, anyway?”
[because July started it]

There was a sound suspiciously like a sigh. “It’s a long story. I was just… oh, crap.”

“What? … Oh.” While he was distracted, Adamantine had turned a corner only to find himself staring at a tangled pile of shippers, and they were staring right back. He waved nervously and sidled back around the corner, then turned on his heel. “Run,” he said, and then proceeded to do so.

“Run? You’re the one with legs.”

[Just to be clear, for personal reasons I intend to remain a non-shipper and unshipped. I will, however, run like mad from any shipping antics pointed in my direction, if it amuses you to give chase.]
