Protection, precaution...

[Having something to trade away when she needs to bribe someone into approving of her and seeing her as useful. It's an old trick, one she's mostly moved away from in favor of outright force, but it's trickier to force people into things here.]

And the knives I gave you don't do that?

I think I should let you get trained on those first.

Oh, I'm already decent with knives. Which I appreciate, by the way! But mostly I'm just wanting options.

This have anything to do with that big fuck-off button that turns everyone human?

[oh god is yes or no a better answer here]

Not completely? Not only that. I would have asked anyway.

I’m probably going to be skewered soon anyway. What the hell was wrong with the knives I gave you?

Nothing! Nothing. They're great, really. But, like I said, options.

You don't need options. Everything around you is a weapon: chairs, bowling balls, a shard of glass, your own fists. I once had to battle Sephiroth with a bucket on a rope.

Okay, well... say it's for a friend. Who doesn't know you and doesn't trust you, but trusts me to be the intermediary.

[God, what a great imaginary situation. She'd love it if that actually happened.]

Then I don't trust them with any weapon.

If you want a gun so badly, just wait until the next port and bring one aboard yourself.

[dammit]

Well, fine.

Thanks for the knives, anyway. And I'm still going to keep checking up on you!

I'd say you'd be wasting your time but we have all eternity here, so go wild with it.
