Not like I couldn't handle a burly guard...

Cu unsheathed the Gae Bolg again and handed its butt end towards Lance, not entirely willing to let go of it when he didn't have anything else on him. He glanced around. Most of the men in here looked...skilled, he realized, trying to figure them out without letting them see his face. Not an easy task to accomplish, considering the fact that a great majority of them were staring his way, emboldened while Lance was busy working with the cloth.

((The butt end of Gae Bolg, which is obviously the blade, has a weight on it, but it's not too unbalanced because the shaft slides out in segments, the last of which is really heavy to counterbalance the blade's weight. I really should draw the thing out.))
