A Bio-keyed weapon. Advanced stuff too based on her description. She probably had a great story behind how she got it, but inquiring after advanced military technology was not safe. And there was a bigger issue.

Thom snorted dismissively. "Silver bullets do not a trade mark make. Every hunter and their uncle thinks that they can make silver bullets their trade mark." Thom shook his head at the idea. "That's like a kitchen making a pot their trademark. EVERY cook has a pot. EVERY hunter has silver bullets. Every time I hear a hunter say 'silver bullets are my trademark' it frustrates me! How am I supposed to tell a unique story about someone if they want silver bullets to be the theme!"

Glances were being shot in his direction now. Perhaps he had been a little too loud just now...
He took a calming breath and a sip of his drink. "Pardon. That was rude of me."

He gave her a more serious look. "Seriously though. Try something like fire fang. Wait, no. You said you didn't want to advertise what you are...Also not unique enough... Fire flower? No... Flaming Rose. Yes... Yes. I like that one. Flaming Rose."

Thom leans back and considers quietly. "Let me tell you a tale of the Flaming Rose. Yes. Rolls right off the tongue." His eyes focus on Alara again and he lifts his hands. "Not that I want to make a major life decision for you or anything. I'm just a story teller, I'll leave the important bits to qualified people like VanHelsing and yourself."
