[Ferran has had some thoughts about the fallout of the Circle's experiments, and how he wouldn't have been able to do much to help that night even if he hadn't been occupied with something else. He's lucky that neither of his bonds were hurt in any lasting way, but... what about the next time danger shows up? Is he just supposed to cower at home and wait because fairies are a fragile species, especially against the Cwyld? It doesn't feel right to him.]

I'm looking for some suggestions on learning to fight. Long-range, if at all possible. I can't use magic, and none of the powers I have access to can be used offensively.

[He'll get some ideas on that later, but it's not really a weapon, per se.]

I was thinking about archery, but I don't know how easy it would be to pull a bow out in an emergency or anything. Do they have collapsible bows here? [Better not ramble too much on his thoughts, though.]

I'm basically a beginner with any kind of weapon, but I'm willing to put in the work. If anyone has ideas or can point me to somewhere I can learn, I'd appreciate it.

[Yeesh, she feels bad for asking because maybe she made him uncomfortable somehow.]

My apologies if my questions have made you uncomfortable in any way.

[Even if Ferran has certain trepidations about the topic, it's not something he has any personal traumas over. Ultimately, it's just a big hypothetical for him, and hypotheticals are just about the easiest thing for him to discuss.]

Oh, no worries! I don't mind answering. It's probably better to talk about these things before I make a decision anyway, so I can sort out my thoughts.
