"We Knights value individuality. We are a gathering of individuals, and we do not unite. But I want to believe that through the experience we’ve gained from many, many battles, we have formed a bond between us. I want to believe we’ve become comrades with the same will. No, that we have become like a family."

From:

strateelgic

I was fortunate to be healed at the end, unlike some.

[Who knows why.]

I'll be fine.

[Physically. In any case, he holds two small pistols out in his hands.]

These are for you. You can give one to Miss Lyra if you'd like, but that's your decision. I'm not sure she'd want to see me.

From:

heavyliesthecrown

Oh...

[He stares at the pistols, surprised. There is a slight frown at the mention of Lyra, but then-]

Are these real...?

Well they only have a rubber bullet in each at the moment, and I'm not certain any of the ammo I currently have will work with them, but the fact that they can fire rubber bullets would infer that they can fire real ones as well.

I apologize for their size. They were being used by sheep.

From:

heavyliesthecrown

[He reaches out for both.]

. . . A lot of good having a gun did me during all of that.

[First Lyra wrestled it from him and then he got shot to death by it. Twice. Still, he takes them.]

I... am sorry, Leviathan. You were already infected with the madness of that place. I was, too. But... I feel sick that I ordered you to attack her. Even if it may have been inevitable, in the end.

From:

strateelgic

There is absolutely no reason for you to apologize to me. I would have killed her without your permission. Whatever had hold of me was quite trigger happy.

[All it needed was an excuse.]

It's impossible to know what will happen during those situations, but at least these might help you outside of them.

From:

heavyliesthecrown

. . . Thank you for worrying about me, Leviathan.

From:

strateelgic

Well. You are quite squishy.

[He clears his throat.]

And I know you prefer ranged weapons. It's only fair after... all of that.

From:

heavyliesthecrown

I am not a squishy person. Just what part of me is supposed to be squishy? Retract that!

From:

heavyliesthecrown

I do prefer ranged weapons though. I have been trying to get a gun for a while now from Red. He required that someone teach me how to shoot for a week, but I could never get anyone to set aside the time to help in the endeavor.

From:

strateelgic

[He will not retract it!]

I can teach you. I'm teaching a couple other members of Rose.

From:

heavyliesthecrown

Well, I do not need the lessons now in order to acquire a weapon. But I shall gladly take the lessons regardless, if you are willing.

I did not even know you knew how to use one.

From:

strateelgic

Oh yes! My father taught me.

From:

heavyliesthecrown

Are there guns beneath the sea? Or did you come topside to learn?

From:

strateelgic

We have our own manner of weaponry. Sometimes sunken vessels contain spearguns or harpoons.

But I was trained to use a weapon on the surface as well.

From:

heavyliesthecrown

Do you compete in shooting then?

[He assumes this is why he was taught. For sports.]

From:

strateelgic

Not often.

I've had the chance to use some gun-like toys that were quite fun, however.

From:

heavyliesthecrown

It is nice that your father was able to share in such an activity with you.

From:

strateelgic

Yes, he was very thorough in teaching us how to defend ourselves.

From:

heavyliesthecrown

I hope that was not something you had to worry about often. But it is good that you have those skills. It certainly has come in handy since our arrival here I think.
