Fendros offered no resistance to Ahnasha except a somewhat awkward look of surprise.

Once the pack was loaded on, there was a few moments of pause before Janius spoke up again. "Well, are we all read-"

A ratcheting metallic rip sounded out as Sabine tugged on the lever with all her body weight. It turned with little resistance once she had moved it a short way. The feeling of the lift platform suddenly jolting made everyone bend their knees slightly to keep balance. Whether the lift still worked properly would be known in the next instant.

While looking at his target, Gallus nodded his head to one side. "Well, if you learned to do that, no one could even try to claim that you're not pulling weight, heh." Gallus grinned and tossed his second knife again. He stood up straight with a hand on his hip to face Peiter properly. "Have you spoken to Sabine about it? Or one of the clan mages? I would be willing to bet that they could do a demonstration for you or something."

Gallus held up his third knife in one hand. "I just say this because you might find it helpful to see a goal you want to work towards. Inspiration, if you will." He flipped the knife in the air, catching it without trouble. "It's probably not quite comparable to something as big as magic, but I didn't know that I wanted to throw knives with any skill until I saw someone else do it. Now I take these things onto the battlefield." Gallus chuckled.
