Swordfishtrombone

Astra is astonished. "Why can't you?" she asked, almost sounding hurt.

"You know what kind of life a talking sword leads?" replied Hubert, his tone of voice abruptly growing hateful and blunt. "I get very few pleasures down here, and like it or not your hot body is one of them!"

Astra and the dwarf exchange horrified looks. Hubert, despite his state as being trapped within the sword, suddenly realizes that he needs to backpedal here, and walk back his sexist comment.

"Besides," he quickly says, "I never actually learned how to undo that one."

Hubert the Difficult...But Not Impossible to Defeat, everyone!

1. "Let's talk about your ability to replicate any noise you have heard instead," Astra answers.
2. Astra grabs Hubert and angrily smashes him against the floor.
3. By coincidence, Harold the Undefeatable, Hubert's brother, arrives on the scene.
4. Taking pity on Hubert, Astra and the dwarf take him with them. Maybe having a talking sword along for the ride wouldn't be such a bad thing?
