With the weekend's latest tragedy, a strange mood has descended over Cartesio. What happened was unprecedented, and perhaps that's why the already decreasing hostility from the townsfolk comes to a complete halt. Could it be the strange circumstances? Bolin's desperate plea? Last week's peaceful Wednesday? Some combination? Whatever the reason, it's clear that the Sergeant's iron fist around the town has loosened. While the residents aren't jumping to interact with you, there's no graffiti, no new broken windows.
Cartesio is confused...but open to explanation, for perhaps the first time.
Still, while the town seems amiable, almost accepting again, there's little to chase away the knowledge that the Sergeant's tasks for you are near their end, and that means those without medals are doomed to their fate.
Or does it? After everything that's turned around, is it possible for you to claw your way out of here as well?

This one [she holds a hand over her right holster] is Silver. It's a revolver that takes 6 rounds of .44 magnum ammunition. On my back [she moves her hand to the special holster-] is Woodsman, a semiautomatic pistol that takes .22LR magazines. It's not as good for killing because of its low caliber.
This one [the holster on her left] is Canon. It's currently loaded with only a single, special explosive round. I designed it to explode upon impact, so I'd prefer to leave it alone outside of special or emergency circumstances. Otherwise, Canon needs to be manually reloaded with felt and gunpowder along with the bullets, so I'm not very likely to use it when I have Silver.
Other than those, I have another semiautomatic pistol, Onyx. It takes .22LR magazines just like Woodsman, but I've stopped using it since Woodsman was returned to me. There's also Flute, a sniper rifle that can be assembled and disassembled for easy carry, and this knife-type persuader.
[Here, she pulls out a knife with a rather large grip - the same one she used to cut Keith free earlier, actually.]
It can fire four .22LR bullets consecutively, but it's not easy to aim, unfortunately. It's something I'd only use in an emergency.
[And she sits down again, thoughtful even as she picks up her utensils again.]
I have various other hunting knives from the hunting store, but... I think that should be about everything.

If we need more firepower, I oan put a few explosives together.
[Wow why did this not come up at the trial...]
But it looks like we're working with conventional weapons for the most part.
[Galra sword and Altean bayard aside that is. He frowns for a moment before deactivating the bayard and holding it out to Kino.]
Humor me for a second. I just want to see what kind of weapon you'd manifest.
[He's presuming it's some kind of laser gun like Lance manifests, but he figures the blasts generated by an Altean pistol or rifle may do more damage than a standard bullet.]

[Though when he hands over the bayard, she looks up at him quizzically, setting down her food once again to stand and reach for it--
Causing it to manifest as what seems to be some sort of rifle, as he might have expected. Kino, for her part, looks surprised - although she will hold it properly, if experimentally.]
...Is that supposed to happen?

Like I said, a bayard will change forms depending on who's wielding it and what's needed at the time. It should be more powerful than a conventional gun. Could be useful as back up.
[He's already got his Marmora blade and doesn't necessarily need to be fighting with dual swords. But that said, it is his bayard and irreplaceable. Not a back up option he's super keen on, truth be told.]
If it comes to that and you end up borrowing it, I'm going to need it back undamaged. It's important.
As forthe smoke bombs... yeah, I still have 'em. If you want to make more explosives, I can help with that.

Depends on the type of bomb we need. I've made do with pressure cookers and alarm clocks, too.
