[As soon as she woke up in her cell at the Keep, Iriel counted to ten. It was the only thing that kept her from running out and exposing herself in a potentially hostile environment. While counting, she checked herself for weapons. Bow and quiver, check. Handgun, check. Knife, check. Rifle...missing. The last time she'd had it, it had been kicked

Trust me, with some of the people I've seen here no one is going to look twice at you.

Me, maybe not, but my weapons?
[Come on, Riah. You should know she wants to know how unarmed she can and should go around this place without getting the side-eye from other people.]

[Or it did when he had ammo for it. He knew she wasn't going to like this at all but it was best she found out now instead of find out when she needed it like he did. The fact that he even had to fire his gun should tell her a lot about this place too.]

Blunted.
Each revelation made her more angry. More shaken. She looked at Riah incredulously.]

I'm always with you Iriel.
[After all, without Fiel here, someone had to look after her and make sure she was safe.]
