"So... What do you plan on doing now?"

*It was just Sonja and Livio in the house now, with the former taking off her armor. Livio didn't exactly want to get his supplies at the moment; they were a decent bit away. Just like last time; except this time on much more friendly terms, and in a warm house.*

*Sonja managed to finished getting her Kuyak armor off, making sure to set it neatly to one side somewhere safe. Then she heard the question from Livio. She paused a moment, turned her brown eyes towards him, then tilted her head to the side slightly. Sonja was rather surprised he had stuck around, as opposed to heading off to shop with the others. One of her fuzzy bear ears twitched idly as she spoke up.*

"Well... I was going to forage for materials to make new crossbow bolts... It's cheaper than buying new ones." *The Ursinoid explained slowly in her usual low tone. It might have seemed odd to try and save on something so cheap after such a profitable expedition, but Sonja didn't feel the need to defend her stance. At the end of the day, it was satisfying to be able to rely on your own craftsmanship.*

*There was a few moments of silence before Sonja ventured to say anything else.* "...Market shopping not to your liking?"

*Armor. Not something he enjoyed wearing during the war, and especially during "Hunting" Missions. The metal got in the way, restricting his movement. Though he supposed it was crucial for someone not relying on pure stealth; he couldn't imagine such a large person like Sonja being able to be stealthy. As she tilted her head and one of her ears twitched, Livio really did see a bear, perhaps one that had just finished hunting.*

"Using stone tips for bolts? I know wood, string and feathers can be easily found in the woods, but the metal heads are best, especially against armor."

*Livio preferred buying his bolts, as he was used to standard grade. What he also did however was summon them using magic. A few tricks from an Artificer was all he needed to have a near unlimited supply of ammo with only a few seconds; he then didn't need to carry his supplies with him.*

"I tend not to. I make my own, but it's not like the typical version."

*Livio held out his hand, forming a regular arbalest in his grasp. With it came 50 large bolts, premade and ready to be used.*

"A little bit of magic goes a long way."

Sonja paused at the observation, then nodded slowly. "Metal... Would be best." She concluded in agreement. "But recently we've been fighting spiders and other cave creatures..." The brawny Ursinoid shrugged and glance back to her arbalest, which was resting against the wall near her armor. "Armor is less of a concern. It seems wasteful to use the fancy metal ones on them." Back at her tribe, they had *Only* Used stone-tipped arrows. They didn't mine on their own and traders were hard to come by in the wilderness.

Hearing that Livio made arrows too, the Beastkin lady raised an eyebrow. "...You can make them too?" She questioned with a small but not undetectable dose of skepticism. It all seemed to make a little more sense as Livio mentioned the magic stuff. "Ahhh, I see..." Sonja chuckled softly to herself. "I suppose... That is markedly more convenient." It didn't beat the satisfaction of crafting something yourself from scratch, though. Or at least, so she imagined.

"So then... Ammunition is effectively limitless for you...?" *Sonja slowly concluded, eyeing the arrows that Livio had produced with caution.* "It doesn't tire out out to make a bunch of arrows?" *The bit of magic she knew, conversing with animals, was rather taxing on her if used for extended periods. But perhaps that was a result of her lacking magical aptitude more than anything else.*
