 Sharp winced at the accusation that he didn't care about Ako's well-being. Look who's talking about putting others in danger, Doctor, he wanted to hiss, but he held his tongue and simply nodded. "Fine," he said a little too cordially. "Just give me a second to get something..."
He turned to the ground behind him to see the two pieces of Ako's sword, snapped into nearly perfect halves, lying on the floor. Gingerly, he picked them up and placed them on his back, balancing them there easily. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about metallurgy, would you?" he asked the Doctor's sheepishly.
