"You smell like 'em. People don't usually wear scents they don't like."
His eyes shifted to the weapon under his hand when she asked to hold it. The dirty comment sprang immediately to mind, but he reluctantly and with great difficulty kept it to himself. He'd save remarks like that for later, when she was no longer painful jailbait.
Past that was the kneejerk reaction to cling to his weapon, especially since everyone who'd gotten their hands on it in the past had used it to run him through and pin him to something. Add to that its significance as a family heirloom and his inheritance from the father he'd learned to respect and he was incredibly reluctant to part with it. But her holding her own weapon out read as an offer of trust, and he wasn't insensitive enough to turn that down.
"Alright, but only as long as you're gentle. You wouldn't want to mishandle such a fine piece of equipment."
...Well, so much for keeping the dirty remarks to himself.
