He had thought of such a prospect before, especially given how treacherous this new world happened to be. As much as he wished to rely on others for protection, it was clear to Nomura that he would not always have someone to protect him. That is to say, it's not as if he didn't plan to form his own entourage. Rather, it would be in his better interest if he were able to defend himself in the event he would be separated from any form of help, be it against the strange beasts of this or the treacherous men who live upon it. "[color=lavender]Hm, you do raise a good point, Lady Mie. I have been meaning to improve upon my skills with the bow as of late.[/color]" Nomura stated, making his way to the gathered weapons and eyeing the arrows. "[color=lavender]That said, I could also use a weapon in case threats come a bit too close for my liking. Perhaps a concealed weapon of some sorts, something that wouldn't draw too much attention or ire from others. You wouldn't happen to have anything like a blade hidden in a cane, or other such weapons, would you?[/color]" Nomura examined the different weapons on display, looking for something inconspicuous. He already had a dagger, but he could still use something more to protect himself, particularly something with a longer reach. Perhaps a simple staff? In any case, he awaited Mie's suggestion, stroking his beak inquisitively as he gazed at the weapons with thought.
