"You'd definitely be right about that, but that just means the people who've gotten as far as we have are just that much better. Can't blame me for trying to be cautious." said the male player. 

Rath nodded, "You are quite right about that." When the male drew his weapon, Rath's left hand went into his back pocket, but then the male stabbed into the ground next to the female. 

 "Unfortunately, I'm not willing to relinquish my weapon, but that'll have to do," said the male. 

Then the male approached him and they shook hands. The male said his name was Ikusaba in the game. After they shook hands, Rath stepped back and removed his left hand from his pocket and showed Ikusaba his left hand which was in a fist with three throwing picks between his fingers. "Which is smart, but whoever said I relinquished all of my weapons." said Rath smiling.

 "Anyone else notice the two players nearby?" said Ikusaba.

"I heard them," said Rath intentionally raising his voice too, "If they were player killers, they would have been much quieter."
