[Those particular risks mentioned do get a raised eyebrow from her; there certainly must be a story there, and she can’t help the curiosity the follows afterward. Particularly when he follows up with a declaration of a lack of fighting experience. It’s an interesting bit of insight to get back to back, and she laughs a bit herself.]

Sounds like we’re gonna have to toughen you up. Then you’ll get to see what I mean. [Her tone is playful, but there’s a sharpness to her gaze that might be saying: oh, she’s serious.] Not like fights between factions pop up all that often, but you never know, right? Gotta be prepared.

[She, in fact, does know that there’s a pretty serious one on the horizon. The secrecy need to pull it off without a hitch compels her to steer away from delving too hard into that topic, so she instead swings back around to what he first alluded to.]

Though if you’re saying you’ve been at risk of hurting people, maybe you’ve got something handy up your sleeve already, huh?

[Unless he’s implying a non-physical kind of hurt, but Gavial is much too physical a person herself for that possibility to register right away.]
