Comments

[thedevilwearssega]

[He would have. Maybe he should have. But instead, he's calm as he gently brushes it aside. After all, he isn't expecting any sympathy. He isn't deserving of any.]

I think I'll go pay them a visit after all.

[slayerofgiants]

[He nods, pausing for a moment.]

If...if you need anything, I will gladly help in any way I can.

[thedevilwearssega]

I don't. You've got things to worry about already, don't you?

[slayerofgiants]

No. Everything I have to worry about is back home.

[Besides, he welcomes the distractions.]

My offer will remain, in case you change your mind.

[thedevilwearssega]

[Yeah, him too.]

Is that really okay with you? Letting your guard down so much at someone who pointed a gun at you.

[slayerofgiants]

In fairness to myself, I have no idea what a "gun" is.

[thedevilwearssega]

Don't know? Is that even possible?

[slayerofgiants]

...Yes? You and I are from different worlds, after all.

[thedevilwearssega]

[Well then. He holds it out to him.]

[slayerofgiants]

[And he is indeed looking at it with fascination. He thought maybe he had just never seen one -- he never really left the village after all, but seeing as how his father was a blacksmith making all sorts of weapons, he doubted that was the case.]

How does this work? You pointed it at me -- so I assume it is a ranged weapon, yes?

[thedevilwearssega]

That's right. Go ahead and give it a feel for yourself.

[He moves it a little closer to him.]

[slayerofgiants]

[Well, he stares at it for a moment more, before tentatively reaching out to touch it along the sides. But that's it, because the last time he went near a crossbow for the first time ended in disaster -- imagine a gun.]

If it is ranged, what does it fire?

[thedevilwearssega]

Bullets.

[He happens to have his case of magazines on him as well, so he pulls one out from it and tosses it your way]

Inside that.

[slayerofgiants]

[Wander catches the case, turning it over and studying it.]

T-That is amazing. And a lot more compact than a bow.

[He briefly wonders how effective a gun would be against a colossus before handing it back to him.]

Um, if you had...say, fired at me. What would have happened? [He is very much interested in the mechanics of guns now.]

[thedevilwearssega]

[He takes it back and mimics actually firing it at him before lowering it again.]

You'd be on your way to the next "Thusia".

[slayerofgiants]

A-Ah, well. Instantaneous death, huh? Interesting.

[thedevilwearssega]

It depends on who's firing. Aim right and it's no contest. But...

[He holds it up again.]

This one fires enough at once that anyone should be able to manage.

[slayerofgiants]

That should come in handy for you here. The creatures are very vicious.

[thedevilwearssega]

Monsters? Yeah, that won't be any problem.

[slayerofgiants]

You should still be careful.

[Because he completely thought he would be fine too, because hey, he's fought giants. But no.]

[thedevilwearssega]

Right, right.

[slayerofgiants]

I am serious.

[thedevilwearssega]

[And this time, he waves a hand as if brushing it off anyway.]

Right, right.

[slayerofgiants]

[SIGH. Can Wander be this exasperating?]

Good luck then.

[He turns to leave him to...whatever he was going to do next, before stopping.] I am in Apartment Q, if you need me.

[And he goes to take his leave.]

[thedevilwearssega]

[He only half-watches as the other takes his leave. What a weird kid. Did Zephyr really say anything so wrong? Eh, whatever. He supposes he has better things to focus on now, anyway.]
