This is great example for an image paints a thousand words. So many thoughts are invoked; is he contemplating about what he had to do with this sword on his last adventure, or did he swore to never use it again, but there is one last thing to do...
omg what a beautiful comment, thank you so so much. Yes, he's... got a lot on his mind. At this point in his adventure, the war was coming to a close, and he'd gotten bad news from his wife, so it was definitely necessary to find somewhere to sit and think for awhile.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, it means more than you know. <3
