Weapons experts.

Kind of without a weapon right now and not even sure if I should get it out of the stupid rock.

[His poor family heirloom. Even if it's probably safer in there than in his hands.]

I'm looking to build my own. It's a tradition where I'm from. I'm also wondering what made you choose yours? If it works for you, there must be a reason.

[Maybe not one of the more hopeful reasons he would have believed in the past. He's done with that. But one that makes sense.]

Stay on topic.

My answer is yes.

Yeah. If your weapon gets stuck in a rock or lost in a canyon or taken off you by some good-for-nothing security guard, at least you're gonna know what to do with a new weapon if you get the chance to grab one.

I had somewhat less than a year of training before I got into an actual battle with weaponry. Though that was before I was familiar with any specific stuff and you sound like you've got battle experience under your belt already either way.

Security guard?

[Tell him more about your disapproval of security guards, Kohaku. Regardless, he wouldn't have trusted him even if he hadn't mentioned that, but he has some good points about weapons usage.]

It's aiming and long-range I don't have experience with.

[He didn't even know what a sniper rifle was.]

Haven't had a run-in with them here yet, if you're worried about anyone specific. But if there's guards who just follow the orders of the next best tyrant blindly, then you won't find me giving them any respect.

[ In the end, he cares very little about coming off trustworthy on this network or anywhere else. People have to earn his trust and he doesn't see why it shouldn't work the other way around. No use pretending. ]

Well, if you're gonna train that, only work with immobile targets and static positions to get the very basics of the movements down. In battle, either you or the target will be constantly moving, training that doesn't incorporate this as fast as possible is useless.

So more corrupt security guards.

[He's afraid that's what's going to happen with Weiss' deputies. Maybe not so much follow blindly as betray her.]

I'll keep that in mind.

[He will. Finding people he's comfortable training with might be more of a challenge.]

Loyal guards to a corrupt government. But same difference.
