[She smiles, shrugging again.]

Magic's my thing, not like... Swordfighting or shooting stuff.

[hardwearing]

I was going to teach you knives, actually. I don't have a gun to spare here and ammo's hard to come by.

[evocation]

Oh, okay. Sure. I'll give it a shot.

[Hopefully she doesn't slice her fingers off.]

[hardwearing]

We'll just need to find you some gloves.

[ As if he was thinking the same thing. ]

[evocation]

Hey!

[She puts a hand to her chest, feigning offense.]

Don't you have any faith in me?

[hardwearing]

That's how everyone learns, Kyna. Well, usually we practice in armor, but you don't have any, so. Gloves.

[evocation]

Okay, fine. Can they at least be cool gloves?

[hardwearing]

...what are cool gloves? I was hoping we could find you leather, or something like it.

[evocation]

Leather's cool. I'll take it. Not as cool as your gloves, but...

[She shrugs, smile teasing.]

[hardwearing]

If they'd fit you, I'd let you wear them.

[ But she's tiny. Smaller than any of the women he knows, at least. ]

I'm not sure armor even comes standard in your size.

[evocation]

Lame. Do they do anything cool? Are there any like, blasters hidden in there or something?

[hardwearing]

[ Wash shakes his head, looking from his gauntlets back to Kyna. ]

Not mine. Shar-- Ephemera had flamethrowers in his. Most of the mercs have alien tech mounted on their gauntlets, though.

[evocation]

Why don't you?

[hardwearing]

Because Charon's the one who's been modifying the alien tech to work with human armor. I'm on the other side.

[evocation]

Oh, right. I guess that screws up that idea.

[hardwearing]

I think all he got off them was an energy shield.

[evocation]

Ephemera? Where'd he get the flamethrowers, then?

[hardwearing]

Charon, still, they're the ones who gave him armor. But that's human tech.

[ He glances down at his own standard gauntlets, shrugs. ]

I doubt he'll find the parts here to repair them.
