"Does it kill easily? Or is it a slower death with it?*
*He'd follow up, the curious expression on his face contrasting his macabre question. Fishing out one of his metal darts, he'd flip it between his fingers quickly, explaining himself with a bizarre calm.*
"These aren't very effective unless they hit a vital point, the neck is best."
Michelle
"It uh... Kills the same I suppose..."*Juna would say in confusion to his question on how the bow worked. Surely anything kills easily if you hit a viral part and not if you don't. Sometimes it appalled her how easily people speak of killing as if it were a normal afternoon for them. Then again she usually hunted animals, so it was no different for her.*"Usually you have to aim for the neck with it as well... The chest if you have a good enough shot and... The head if there aren't any other options..."*It felt better explaining this with the idea of hunting in mind. Some animals took multiple shots to kill while others fell rather easily. It really depended on the animal and situation.*
Thomas
"I see. I've never killed anyone before. I'll have to at some point."
*He gave a small nod as the implications of his training slowly dawned on him. To take a life... The Uto had little understanding of people in general, so stopping one with a blade was far beyond what he could imagine. The back of the neck, the small of the spine, between the collarbone... Could end a life. How it haunted him, the thought. Kynia returned to his senses after a few solemn moments, meeting Juna's eyes again as he sweeped his wing in a gesture.*
"Lead the way. I don't want to get lost again."
Michelle
"What... Do you mean...?"*Juna would ask hesitantly as Kynia stated he would soon have to kill. It left a foreboding feeling inside her, though part of her felt she should have expected this much from a stranger she just met. Being told to lead the way, she would continue further in the forest, her ears now up and alert as if she expected them to potentially get attacked as she made her way through the forest.*
Thomas
"It is what I've been taught. How to kill. One day I will use it to my advantage. Though not on the innocent, we took an oath against that sort of thing... Honour, they described it as."
*He explained flatly, putting away his dart and following a few paces behind. Though he was an oblivious lad, he wasn't dense enough to stay close after a statement like that.*
Michelle
"Oh..."*She'd murmur before giving an accepting dip of her head. The Canifor supposed that was fair of him. After all, she'd do the same whenever it came down to it.*"I guess I'm similar in that aspect... Well... Besides the oath anyways..."
