One thing she can tell, just from the smell of his face, is that he really wants a sword. She almost feels bad, like he's an addict and she's holding his personal drug over his head and taunting him with it. On the other hand, it's her sword, and she's not giving it up for anything. So it's a good thing he doesn't ask.

"Are you sure? I'm going to have a hell of a longer reach than you." She looks a little concerned about that, but if he insists, she'll pull the sword out the rest of the way.
