In answer to the question about weapons, she shrugs toward her shortbow to indicate that it's her preference, and she's nodding in answer until Laurin's interjection.<br/><br/>Joli explodes into a coughing fit at this point-- she holds up her hand and gestures to her throat dismissively as if 'no big deal, I'll be fine in a minute' and turns around to make a hasty exit.  She gestures to demonstrate a sip from a bottle or canteen and mouths 'water' before she returns to her gear and canteen.  Maybe it was the sudden onset of coughing, but she seems to have flushed a marvelous crimson color.<br/><br/>Once she's done, she turns back to Raine. "Ahem-- sorry.  Yes.  Well... I've practiced plenty with the short sword--" her gear is obviously of decent quality, the steel having returned to a good edge and the ashwood bow well kept with a good string. "And I've killed things with the bow."  She shrugs, dips her face in a gesture of uncertainty.  "Smallish things."
