the pebble hits the top of the branch, but since it's not that thick, it bounces up and yona has to duck to avoid getting smacked in the face. oopsie.]
...okay, but... you said since you're my Leader, you have to come when I call you, right? If you ever don't want to come, but you have to because of the Realm, just say "I don't want to be here" when you arrive and you can go.
Not like I've got anything better to do. [ but they tilt their head a little, giving an air of observing yona pensively ] If I ever do, though, I'll text you so when you ask. That work?
that's sure an interesting choice for smalltalk, but - figuring that they've already got a way of knowing things about her whether she's talking about them or not (or at least, the realm does), she answers.]
Not enough that they'd worry about missing a day or two to rest, anyway. [ is that teasing? it's a little teasing. there's a hint of a smirk on their face ]
You could have refused to throw them at all, but you didn't. [then she holds out the branch to them!] Could I see your form? I'd like to see how you fight.
... Alright. [ they take the branch and while I'm terrible at describing things, thanks britt, they hold it with two hands when they get into position. so maybe they're more used to broadswords? Their stance is one of someone who is strong and very confident about that, too, before they take a few wide but surprisingly quick swings in front of them. they look like they know what they're doing don't ask me more than that ] Should've given you more credit. Feels weird with a branch.
[ ilu britt. but wolf doesn't expand more than that, choosing instead to answer the latter; ]
It's probably meant as a method of keeping the peace. Participants aren't supposed to fight each other. But it doesn't account for training or potential future threats. We're able to protect you if it comes to that, but it'd be better if you could do more than hide if something went wrong.
Only six of you to protect forty-three of us does seem a little unfair...
[so, yes! yona also agrees that they should be able to do more than run and hide.]
A lot of us seem pretty resourceful, so I'm sure we'll figure out some way to help if something does happen, but it'd be good to have properly-forged weapons, too. Just in case.

... Maybe we get a bigger stick.
[ they do look a little sheepish there. ]
no subject
That's probably a good idea.

[she smiles! that sounds better to her than them just having to show up whenever she's like "hey get over here".]

What are you fighting for?
[ this is not great small talk. ]

It does, doesn't it? ...but you look like you know how to use a sword pretty well, just by looking at your stance.
...I hope we can find something more like a sword later. Then we can get some real practice in.
no subject
[ that you still don't know which of us this is delights me. wolf nods, considering, and... ]
I'll see about getting you a training one. But maybe there'll be some popping up later.
no subject
[PLEASE BE NICE TO ME, I'M REALLY STUPID AND ALSO EXHAUSTED.]
...that would be great! I'll keep looking for one, too, but it doesn't seem like there are many weapons anywhere we can get to right now.
