The Guardsman was obviously mildly worried, "Weapons... for what purpose, could I ask? That's pretty damn suspicious, you know-... Oh. Oh I think I get it, I understand completely. Aspiring Hunters, right? These animals are your 'familiars'?", he asks, after 'getting it'. He looks at the town's primary gate, then looks back at the group. He seems to wait patiently for a more clear answer.

Ruby would note that the town is highly organized, from above, and the smokestacks (among the other gasses) are coming from what appear to be various small factories. As well, when she flies near, the steam appears to be cold, for steam. She would also notice somewhat large, strange crystals in a circle formation around the town, pulsating slowly. It seems like they're responsible for a few magic related things all around the town, such as Coalstrike being oddly cool, for one with so many small industries inside. A very large amount of people are seen doing their own things all around the town, of all sorts. Hell, you think you're seeing a few other Hunters even.
