[Snow is strange to her. Mountains she has to climb are strange when they have some sea cliffs but they're for sea birds and everyone has the good sense to leave them be.

If her mother were here, she might attempt a sheepish grin for all of five seconds but her mother is not so she doesn't even try, still managing to keep the cheeky grin instead.

And if you're in so much pain you see stars? Or that you'd probably jump off the bed and kick the doctor if you had one anyway. [If they'd been by the healing tents she'd offer to show him the scars but seeing as they are where they are, she gives a little shrug, twisting her hair over her shoulder as she continues.] We call it a shot when it comes out of a pistol, though some of our other weapons called muskets fire things called musket balls, they're round balls of lead and they travel very very fast. You aim like so-- [Standing, she nudges Lux and he darts ahead of her, poised and ready as she holds out two fingers, making a noise as close to a little explosion as she can and her fox flops to play dead before he runs back over.] And well you can try to dodge, or to seek cover. But like I said they move very fast and in they go and they go very deep. It isn't like an arrow that has so much sticking out of you, they're tiny compared to that but lead can make you sick so you need to get them out.

[Her face pales a little, remembering a couple of not so pleasant experiences.]
