My point is that our general population might have had more use for self-defense training before we all decided to murder each other!

Not that I was murdered myself.

But if I were, I would feel rather annoyed with you right now.

Oh, come now.

No need to overwhelm me with that staggering verbosity of yours!

They say comedy is in the timing and your timing in this is very comedic. I could hardly have done better myself.

Well done, I must say.

[Fandaniel keeps talking.]

If your offer, ill-timed though it is, happens to be genuine I admit to some curiosity.

I know how to wield a pistol of Garlean make, but I feel I can improve my form. I'm still too slow on the draw for my liking.
endcaller: (My biology I know. You I worry about.)

It's a nation where I am from. Admirable technology, compared to many other nations.

They are the ones who make proper guns, in other words, while their neighbors barely have weapons more advanced than a flintlock.

Special features?

You pull a trigger and a bullet fires out the other end. Special, no?

[A thoughtful pause.]

I could explain the firing mechanism in detail but I do not believe that is what you are asking.

If you are familiar with guns at all, I doubt the ones built in Garlemald are different enough from what you know for it to matter. They are genius in their simplicity.
endcaller: (That’s what hell must be like)

Are you and that Minato lad acquainted, perchance?

I feel the two of you attempting to have a conversation would be the most infuriating thing to witness on this entire star.

[He sighs.]

But never mind that.

If you want me to regale you with tales of highly advanced weaponry, I could tell you about the guns of ancient Allag. Alas, while I recall how they work in some detail, it has been many years since I last fired one.
endcaller: (This is three times you've shot me now.)

Oh, I do not have a pistol on my person. I arrived in this world with naught but the clothes on my back.

Will that be a problem?
