"Better."

The sword wouldn't usually make the swordsman, unless maybe you've got Excalibur. Now I'm mildly curious where Kurt gets his swords in regular continuity. He probably has a guy that spends months and hand-crafts them to an exacting standard; then Kurt shows up again twenty minutes later for another one 'cause he broke it on a Sentinel head or something. 

"Khlav Kalash" is of course from "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson," a classic. And the Khlav Kalash guy has appeared a few times and seems to be doing well for himself. I'm not usually adventurous enough, or maybe I don't get out enough, to sample fare like that; although I suspect Magik maybe isn't a picky eater.
