"I don't see you as a soldier, and am certainly pleased you never went into that line of work," Shui confesses. "Scout, most certainly; it fits you, though it comes with scars. Mr. Orgesh. I did warn you I would backslide from time to time." Now both eyebrows raise. "You have more wine sitting around, wasting valuable ship space? How curious."
She twitches her lips into a doleful grimace. "I fear my upbringing makes me comfortable using family names and polite titles. It is the way of things. To me, often times they are more familiar than personal names. You shall need to put up with that, from time to time." This said with a small, sidelong glance as she finishes installing the bolt.
Sitting back on her haunches in a crouch, Shui lets out a long sigh. "'The way of our world'," she quotes Tylen, but while the words could be sorrowful they are said with a smile. "I find my family here far more acceptable - and accepting - than the one I left behind. Though I wish you could see your own."
Enter Yasmine and Keryn, stage left, carrying weaponry.
Yasmine's comments receive a cock of the head and a dubious glance. But she nods along with Tylen's reply to Keryn. "I would agree, surprising as it sounds. There are any number of non-lethal weapons that are quite effective and easy to carry; even I know how to use them. It is a more simple and quick solution than years of training in empty-hand combat...which fails utterly when confronted by firearms at any range greater than arm's length."
Without tremendous training, said skills also fail at close range, but there's no need to go into that.
"And Chief Crow would be the best choice of teachers," she states with a nod to Yasmine.
