Every night while Aeris slept, she'd dream of… staffs. Sturdy sticks she'd use to knock muggers upside the head, or sweep people's legs out from under them, or — in some of the weirder ones — use even to beat up dragons and sahagin and something strange and sinister that made her skin crawl. And these strange dreams grew increasingly common, until she could hardly close her eyes without seeing polearms.

"Y'know," she finally snapped one morning, "you could've just said something if you wanted me to so badly!"

Elmyra blinked.

Thus ended Aeris's knives practice.
