"I have swords and smithy. I'm not sure I could make a gun. I mean..." she scratches her head, thinking. "I know what one looks like and the internal mechanisms, but...I'd have to first kick around moulding and then making bullets. But the gunpowder would need to be made first..." Ew. What a hassle. She wrinkles her nose a bit.

"I could teach you sword fighting. You might take to it. Elsewise, I could always make you a crossbow. At least they're easy." Merlan dislikes guns, honestly, even though she's used them before.
