Sarah paused, leaning it against one shoulder as though it were a natural thing for her to do.
"It was like this when I first picked it up...some...strange feeling of familiarity."

Peter came up to her with a smile "Would you mind maybe sparring a bit Ms. Gonzales? Even if you aren't an experienced fighter, I'm sure you'll do fine."

"Oh, uh...I...suppose so."
Now was probably not the time to tell everyone that she could be klutzy at times, although that thankfully had never showed up with Excalibur. Maybe the sword's McGuffin powers cancelled her powers of dorkery.

Jess leaned back in her chair and turned to Tony "This is really why I hired him."
Peter stood back, looking a bit akward for a moment, before turning his feet in a an ancient battle stance and awaited Sarah's move.
((I almost want to create this kid, just to give me more things to do, haha))

((Hee! You know I'm struggling not to bring in a Phantom? Seriously.))
Tony nodded.
"Handy kid to have around."
Sarah, meanwhile, just kinda...stood...and awkwardly swung the sword. The moment she did so, however, something in her manner changed, and she was suddenly all professional.

((LOL just do eet, ain't no reason not to.))
Peter smiled suddenly calm, he always felt better with a sword in his hand. He quickly parried and jumped back, then came at her.
Jess chuckled "This is getting better and better" she looked around at the men around her, all whispering, looking dumbfounded.

((Yeah, but he won't have any plot!))
It was weird. She didn't think about it at all, that suddenly, it wasn't an object she only knew facts about--but that instead, the sword had become almost an extension of her arm. Parry, thrust, reposte...

((AND? I do that kind of shit all the time, I was thinking about bringing in Basil and Dawson from The Great Mouse Detective, why? Because.))
Peter smiled and jumped back, no longer holding back. He came at her with all his force and talent only to be stopped again.
After a few minutes Jess stood up and began clapping "Ce magnifique, wonderful you guys, wonderful!"
Peter stood back and bowed.

Sarah, meanwhile, was looking down at the weapon in her hands as though she couldn't believe what was going on.
"That's...I mean...but I don't know swordfighting!"

"It's the reason King Arthur could do the things he could do, that and a little magic" she smiled.

"I...was pretty sure he knew swords before Excalibur."
She shook her head.
"Any way, who knows what rules work around here?"
As she spoke, another lock of hair faded to white. Now, her hair was actually more white than dark brown.

Jess smiled, not noticing the change "The rules are broken."
She walked over to Peter who was sweating "Go have a drink love."
Peter nodded and wiped his forehead.
A few of the men came forward and Mr. Frank grinned "Someone should call the queen."

The mention of the Queen actually had her frozen for a second.
Oh my god...do I actually get to talk to her?!
In spite of everything that had happened so far, it hadn't really entered into her head that there was even the slightest chance she'd meet the Queen of England.
"In these parts, yeah, rules break all the time." She said, sounding breathless.

Franks walked up to Sarah who was looking quite confused "My dear, my dear, my good friend Elizabeth would want to meet the true heir to the crown."

She blinked, paling a bit.
"Er...but...I dont' think England would want an American on the throne." She babbled.
