[There's no further fumble, but the beat of surprise is there in the corners of his face. He probably should have expected her to ask, but then he doesn't make a habit of advertising his own gear often enough to warrant it. Noctis' hand falls to his hip, and he hands the sword over- point down, to her side of the table. Since the shift in shape is linked to his nanites she won't be able to change its form on her own, but at least she'll be able to get a feel for it first- the reality of it, the shape and weight and almost unremarkable design. There are no hidden levers or wires or coding. Just a hilt and blade.]
