He too realized the change his offer was taking as she again told him weapons were not necessary in battle. At this his features grew even further from the elated mood they carried before to take on a look of pleading. But then she explained it to him and he finally understood exactly why she viewed weapons as weakness. They were unnatural and there was no denying that. Even when the Issum had called Alaska home they were an oddity brought forth from across the sea by Russian traders. His had been made by his mate, but the metal and the inspiration for the guards he wore and dagger she had were not of this land but one he himself had never even seen. So he could not argue when she offered a strong point he understood even though he felt the need to.
Then she asked him, a positive step away from the turn their short conversation had taken. But he had to think on it for a moment. No… It’s not weakness to be without a weapon… It’s just… well… He didn’t want to say it was because he feared for her that he pressed the matter. His fellow leader might take that as another underestimation. His eyes followed hers down to where the dark metal on his arms hid black fur. I feel that, no matter the skill, flesh… your flesh will tare when slashed by blade. It was a gruesome sight to acknowledge and pulled his ears back in a sad disgust. Then an idea put a small spark back into his eyes. If you will not carry or train with a weapon, then will you carry… a shield. He looked up at her with the pleading still written on his face but a small flag going up in the back of his mind. Was he to offer the gauntlets given to him by his first mate? Could he part with them after they had been a part of his body for so long? My gauntlets? The offer was soft, maybe showing his own caution in giving away such meaning full gifts. Without understanding to the weight of his offer, it might have been seen by her as more worry for her if she were ever to fall under a blade.
