[ good. the serious tension shift means he's taking it seriously, and, honestly? lu bixing's thinking much of the same. he's too smart to reveal his cards in a way that he feels like would end up poorly for him. he's not the type of person to launch an all out attack on anyone, and has no interest in participating in this farce, but he has even less interest in dying, and anyone who thinks he'd go quietly into the night has another thing coming. self sacrificial, he is not.
he purses his lips for a moment. ] A harpoon gun.
[ imagine i was like "no nothing" ] The pushback on it isn't that hard to use. [ and then, with a huff of a laugh: ] Very Eighth.
[HE'D BE EXHAUSTED. In fact he does raise an eyebrow because he's thinking "that better mean 'I have my very own harpoon gun' and not 'I can borrow ljh's' in a pinch" but he will grace LBX with the benefit of the doubt.]
They're efficient, especially for keeping your distance. [Anything's a weapon if you try hard enough] You'll have to make sure to bring it with you overnight, though--well, that, or whatever you decide to keep on hand. There's no guarantee you'll make it all the way back to grab it before someone catches up to you.
[This is why he stayed in the food court that one week and the only reason he doesn't stay in his room-turned-armory every Thursday is because they've asked him to come with them to the bars... BUT AFTER TWO WEEKS IN A ROW OF CURSED LUCK MAYBE HE'LL GO BACK TO SLEEPING NEXT TO THE KNIVES]
I grabbed a sword, after that boat race. We can train with that, and you can have it once you're comfortable with it. I don't need it now that I have my blades, even if they're not exactly the same as I'm used to. [He misses his Vision... but he'll make do.] You could probably fashion something out of bones or glass if you wanted, too--it would be more lightweight, easier to hide and carry around.
