"Hey, there is still some time left. It would be best if you left that sword behind. It was not meant for you to take, so you could be cursed because you lifted it. Do you want to be cursed?"
Keith looked at the paladin who was walking beside him and also advising him at the same time.
Like the rest of the party that hired Keith, he was super worried about the sword and was looking for something to happen to it.
Luckily, nothing happened, and the party began to lose some of its paranoia. But that did not mean that everyone was suddenly onboard with the sword being brought with them.
"It will be fine! And this sword did want to come with me. Look at how well-behaved it is when I hold it. It is not even shocking me or anything.
This sword would have reacted more if it did not want to be touched, right?"
