"That sounds..awesome! I definitely want to see one in person." Ventus states after hearing Anna's explanation of the ice chimera. It had only been a short while since the two of them had met, but Ven felt as if he and Anna were becoming fast friends. He then nods in understanding as she lets herself down, stating that she should be alright in terms of standing. "Alright, but if you need a crutch to lean on, I'm here for ya." He states. Then, seeing the man standing atop of the gate and looking back towards the forest, he can't help but feel a slight amount of worry cross his mind. "If he doesn't let us pass, the chimera just might reach us..I won't let it harm you." He states as he places a hand on the hilt of his sheathed claymore, awaiting the moment that the beast would appear from the tree-line.

"I appreciate your concern, but I do have my sling, and now I'm in a place where I can use it." She unwinds her "belt" revealing it to actually be her sling, a four-inch wide net of tightly woven strands of twine, and then a foot-and-a-half long woven cord on either side. She goes fishing in her coin purse then and produces several rounded lumps of metal about half the size of her fist. "I think I've got a better range than you, meaning no disrespect."
