Bell left the library after a few hours of studying. Down in the main lobby was Celena and her party.
Piper waved from a distance. "Hi Bell!"
"Hey Piper. What's going on?"
Celena turned around. "Bell, just in time actually."
Piper beamed. "We're going hunting! You should tag along!"
"Can I?"
Celena nodded. "It would be good experience for you, especially at your age."
Piper fiddled around with her bag while she looked for something. "I know I had it in here… oh! Here it is!" She pulled out a leather sheath. "It's for you, a welcoming gift!"
Bell carefully accepted the gift. "For me? You didn't have to, you know…"
"Well, I saw when you defeated that nasty goblin back at that village, you killed it in one swipe! It reminded me of how a blade worked, so I thought you'd be comfortable with one."
Bell pulled out the dagger. "It's heavy… tungsten carbide?"
"How did you know…?" Piper asked, shocked by his knowledge.
