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.
Mhm. He said he'd teach me a lot of things while we were here... archery is just one of them. He seems like he knows how to make a lot of different things.
Some people are like that. Good at making things. [ kind of stating the obvious there, wolf, buddy. ] And if he's willing to provide you with the bow and arrows for free, then that works out.
I feel pretty lucky. [good thing she ran into horse dad day one!] It will be really interesting to see what goes into making a bow. One of my friends from home used to make arrowheads, but I've never seen the whole bow get made before.

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.

[ hm did she tell them that? ]

...I'm not going to get in trouble for taking it, am I?
no subject
Not with me. [ they shrug ] Like I said, I'd rather you have something to defend yourself. Never know what can happen.
[ they gonna say why they know she took a knife? no ]
no subject
I'm going to take it to Archer to have him help me make a bow. That way I won't fall out of practice with my archery, either.
no subject
Archery, huh. [ hm. ] Does he make arrows, too? Bow won't be of much use without them.
no subject
anyway, she nods.]
