Utena bent down a little over Renamon when she noticed the girl freeze up, watching to make certain that she was going to be all right. She let out a silent sigh of relief when the girl started moving again with no problems, but still kept a wary eye out all the same.

"That's way better than nothing for now, that's for sure," said Utena, nodding toward Renamon as she took the pipe. She turned away from the girl and held the pipe out in front of her, testing its weight. She swung it down through the air a few times before turning back. "Yeah, that'll work fine. Not too heavy, but not too flimsy." She cocked her head toward the smaller pipe and reached down. "Maybe I should grab that one too just in case. I'm going to need metal at some point once they get around to making a sword for me. Unless you want it for something?"
