He's taken every reasonable precaution, and for all that Braig is well aware of what lurks inside Xeha's heart, he's pretty sure that a little darkness probably won't have much of an effect. What's one drop, in what is likely already an ocean bounded around by light? He doesn't know to ask though, and even if he did, the various glows that are running through the blade are more than enough to keep his attention.

He can't help but grin at Xeha's surprised comment. He'd noticed the little knot of light and darkness, but up until Xeha had said something he hadn't really realized what it was.

"Heh. Now we're getting somewhere."
