[Norma knows how roundabout comments and vague wordplay goes, she's pretty good at that herself, so when it clicks that holy cow, she's talking to some like, super awesome greatest swordsman ever her eyes actually widen and take on a glaze of awesome. Now, she's usually a skeptic when it comes to these kinds of things, but there's just something about this guy that tells Norma he's being entirely truthful. Maybe it's the way he's speaking about his sword - which Norma gives another long look when he does - or the aforementioned look he gives the blade. Obviously it's got some value of a different sort to this old guy, so...yeah. This is kinda awesome right now. She's making friends with a total weirdo, but a strong one! And a really, really cool one!]

Well, I'm not one to talk about laziness - I got plenty of it - but I know how it goes when you really wanna do something for yourself. Something important. Something you could get help on...because it's available at the time, but you don't. You do it yourself, even if it's stupid and hard and takes a really, really freaking long time...

[Er--ahem. Whooo...spoke a little too much there, oops. Perking up again, Norma leans forward with a smile.] But that's so awesome! I mean, finding and winning something like that - that's definitely what I'd call a piece of treasure for sure! Can I touch your sword? Pleeeease~?

[Yep, she did so just ask that. WHAT, IT'S SHINY AND GOT GEMS AND SHIT ALL OVER IT. Maybe she can pick one off when he's not looking...]
