[font=trebuchet ms]Clony toddling back, still in their ski-walk pose but now flapping their wings to assist, sent half-formed ideas racing through Rin's head. Ski infantry? Dive-bombing enemies with knives? As entertaining as dropping knives on foes might have been, though, she wasn't sure it would be practical in the long run for everyone- a lot of knives would be needed, requiring a lot of metal, and then everyone who wanted to try would need training... still, the thought of swooping down on the Skyborne and slicing through their neck with Clony's new knives was fun to think about.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, Kui.
The echo in the back of her head nearly made her jump- as it was, her eye snapped wide open, her ears flattening back. Clony hadn't heard that, she could be almost certain, so it was best not to make them question the... situation. Mangoes, papayas, Clony had said. They traded them to another group. Focus on that.
Clearing her throat, Rin asked, "Can I ask which group it was?" Given that they, an Elysite, were able to get a diplomatic trade rather than end up in a fight, she had to assume it wasn't the Pitt they'd gone to. She was mostly just curious, in any case. With a shrug, she added, "I'd just say to make sure they're not so long you can't carry them."
