[sup, yuri. wherever you are, wrath is right behind you.]

I can hold one, at the very least.

[aubins]

[ seiros wept, make some noise. ]

Huh. Really? Am I stereotyping again by assuming you'd be able to handle a blade?

[probe]

[haha, no.]

Sure are. The swords are just, uh, very good irony. Irony! Ha! [stop.]

[aubins]

So you're actually just an angry pacifist?

[probe]

I absolutely would not say that I'm a pacifist.

I just don't know swords. Is that the only weapon you can possibly think of? Dream a little bigger, darling.

[aubins]

[ that makes him laugh at least. ]

It's the one I know the best. But there's... I don't know. Spears? Axes? Gauntlets? Bow and arrow?

[probe]

Gauntlets. Hah.

[they seem vaguely amused by that one.] I could do a gauntlet, but uh. Guns? Guns. Those are fun.

[aubins]

Guns?

[ what the fuck is a gun ]

[probe]

You've never heard of guns?

[well that's fine, they just pull a fucking glock out of their sleeve?]

[aubins]

[ he'd be way more concerned if he knew what a gun was. ]

I wouldn't be asking if I had. [ what is this tiny murder contraption. ]

[probe]

[okay, well, hold onto your butt, yuri, because they shoot the gun. and it is a real gun. it's very loud. rest in pieces, wall?]

[aubins]

[ consider his butt well and truly held. until he has to cover his ears at the loudness of it all. ]

What the hell-- that sounds more like a cannon.

[probe]

Haha, isn't it rad?

[they shove the gun back into their sleeve. gunsleeves.] Anyway.

[aubins]

[ where are you keeping all these guns, wrath. how big are your sleeves. ]

You can fire one of those but you can't wave a sword right. [ amazing. ]

[probe]

[many big.]

Yeah! Sometimes that's just how it works out. You could always teach me to swordfight, since you're so horny for footwork.

[aubins]

[ who let you have this much sleeve ]

Sure. I don't think I'm a great teacher, but I can make sure you won't hold the wrong part of it and hurt yourself. [ he points at the sleeve. ] As a trade off for... explaining the gun thing.

[probe]

[uwu]

Oh, good. Are you telling me you're not supposed to hold the pointy bit? News to me! [as for the gun:] What do you want to know about it? It's a little machine that shoots loud. I don't know the intricate details. It's a gun.

[aubins]

Every day's a learning day.

How to make it... do what you just did? [ teach yuri leclerc how to fire a gun, wrath. ]

[probe]

You pull the trigger.

[piglet.] I'm not going to hand you a gun to practice with, you understand.

[aubins]

It's almost like you don't trust me.

[ which, y'know. fuckin' valid.

yuri tilts his head like he's trying to remember the exact shape of the gun, and where a... trigger might even be? huh. ] And there's enough power in it to just... [ he makes

a explosion motion with his hands. jazzhands! ] From that little thing?

[probe]

You are correct, I do not.

[they nod a bit. and do fingerguns.] I told you, I don't know the specifics. Just that you shoot and it goes bang.

[aubins]

[ brutal.

but he points back. like fingerguns? except slightly Off. ] That sounds even more dangerous than just letting an arrow fly from a bow.

[probe]

You are so horny for weapons, can we talk about something else? I'm bored of weapons. Wrath is not all about weapons!

[aubins]

I'm just used to having one. And wow, that coming from the Avatar with a gun up their sleeve. [ pls?? pls. wrath. ]

But alright. What else is Wrath about then?

[probe]

I have a lot of things up my sleeves.

[they pause, thinking.] You know, it's... it's been a long time since someone has asked me that question.
