MC: preferred weapon to fight with?
Robert and Vic look at each other, sharing a look uncertainty between them. The corners of Robert's mouth turn downward. Vic plays with a stray curl.
"I'd rather not." She finally says. Her voice crackles with what sounds like irritation. "Once was enough and I don't want to have to think about that kind of thing again. I'm thankful I had the right weapon on me. I never want to have to use one again."
Robert takes her hand and gives it a squeeze. In response, Vic closes her eyes to focus in on the sensation of air moving through her lungs. Each exhale is accompanied by a hissing, as if she were letting off steam.
"I agree with Vic. I would prefer to not fight. It's why I keep Johann close-by, and even he would prefer not to fight if possible."
Temporarily calm, Vic adds, "We are more likely to fight with words and ideas than weapons."
"Precicely."
