The Choreography of Cutting and Piercing

"I would lend you 'Choreography' since you are with us for this most important fight, if you are willing." I signed.
"Chorepgraphy? Is it because I'ma girl?" She almost spat in my face, so shocked she didn't bother to sign.
"Of course not, You are Love Conquers All, you are a member of our very elite group." I signed, clumsily to my mind, but I didn't want to offend her, truly, and certainly, offending her further was not something I could afford, so I labored to use slow, very deliberate signs, so my intent would be least likely to be misconstrued.
"I am here, Sifù."
"He will be with you in a minute, Shadow..." She replied for me, I signed gratitude.
"What is this choreography then?" She was calmer, at least she realized I didn't want to offend her.
It is a Spinel-star, a spiral made of elemental gemstones riven with Wyld-stuff, perfectly balanced. Your patron used it in the Primordial war."
"Yaogin of the dreams ? Really?"
"No, not Yaogin, Venus, Maiden of Serenity." I signed the words carefully, it was hard to get right, because a few of the signs were so like the sign for love.
"Lady Blue, huh? And you know this how?"
"She said it was hers, for that occasion, when she lent it to our armoury."
""And you remember this?"
"My predecessor does..."
"Predecessor, as in prior soul?"
"No, Fire without smoke was just actually there, it's a recent loan, the year before The Great Contagion."
"Oh, yeah,, recent, I mean fifteen centuries, if that? I hadn't exalted yet... Nor had you, as I recall?"
"Not for almost five hundred other years, you're right."
"Oh, you're such a pup!" She said, her dimples showing. "And you want me to wield this weapon?"
"I've signed to the others, we're agreed you're among the storngest of us, and among the best suited for this task, and your own skills at the martial art of the Dreaming Pearl best fits this weapon."
"Wait, you... know which one of us you're talking to?"
"We've been working together for three decades, I can read body language, Love."
"Sifù, I bring her as you requested." Mindless Lunacy bowed, but said nothing.
"Luna entrusted me a weapon for your use. The Inescapable Lue-Tin." I laboriously spelled out.
"How come you bring daiklaves and other pointies and sharps, and I make do with a man-catcher?"
"Sadly, not all of us forget you have conflicting opinions about us..."
"Adn she doesnt?" She jerked her thumb towaards Love Conquers All, and I had no response, no response at all. "I've known her longer." Was much worse than silence, after all.
