STUDY: Thinking about the cinquedea, you wonder if you might not be able to BOUNCE, CLEAN, CLENCH, FLIP, GESTURE, STUDY, and TILT it.

BOUNCE: Thrusting your arm skyward, you brandish your windsteel cinquedea menacingly.

CLEAN: Whipping out a soft cloth, you carefully burnish the polished blade of your cinquedea.

CLENCH: Wrapping your fingers around the hilt of your windsteel cinquedea, you clench it tightly in your grip.

FLIP: You toss your cinquedea high in the air, sending it flipping end over end before catching the hilt as it descends to the ground.

GESTURE: You proudly show off your windsteel cinquedea.

TILT: You tilt the blade of your cinquedea from side to side, making light glint off the polished metal.
