Asuna sat and listened to the party, seeming to pay only partial attention, her focus instead on her gun.  For the third time that day, she had it disassembled, parts lying on the table as she meticulously cleaned each one.  The small pile on the table looked like a mess at first glance, but a closer look would show that it was instead very organized, each part of the gun lying in a specific location.<br/><br/>"Even if others have checked out that cavern," she said to no one in particular, "it would be good of us to take a look as well.  Even if we only learn what others already know, it's best if we know them as well."  Looking up at Yuriko as Alsten talked, she shook her head at the womanizer.  "Well, he does have a point.  We don't know how this disease spreads, but we might as well take as many precautions as possible.  My faith and magic will keep me protected from any disease, but you don't have the same training as I do."
