"Well I do have a certain responsibility to keep my hands pretty," Bene points out, holding them up with a put-upon, plaintive look, "so the lighter, or more weightless, the sword, the better."
"You know it is," Bene replies with a grin, and apparently isn't even joking. "Can you imagine if they were all rough and calloused like a stablehand? Beyond the pale."

Bene laughs, a snorting sound that results in mild choking since his head is tipped back, and he has to roll over with a self-conscious "ew."
"I think I'd want to just be put out of my misery."
