i've come to love using gunlance but i don't have a good lore reason for how xavier uses it while he's blind. he's just built different crosses my arms >:T

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭. Then he takes another bite of his sweet treat, allowing a tantalizing amount for the poor child to wriggle in anticipation.

At least he didn't choose something twice his size. Sure, the bow is plenty large. It took the lad a bit to simply get used to managing its stature while remaining nimble. It's a good starting weapon when learning the attack patterns of certain beasts. Sword and shield though...

" We can get you a set, " Xavier says, looking in the direction of the undeniable heat of the blacksmith's. " Gemma would be able to forge it by dusk, but... " A finger lifts, and he waggles it in an odd rhythm. " You'll be training on the training dummy for a few weeks... "

HIS EYES LIGHT UP AT XAVIER'S MUSINGS. He would be able to hear it in the boy's voice—the bubbling up of excitement and elation that he can barely keep contained. Nata's extroverted nature is a far cry from his timid self when they had first met. "You think I could finally try my hand at practicing with a Sword and Shield, soon?"

Ah, but therein lies one of his flaws. The child is often times too hasty. He forgets that after everything he has witnessed, he is still a fledgling—one that needed time to grow, one that needed to be patient with his training. Any opportunity he saw for a chance to train, he seized.

"I . . . I want to try something new, sir! The bow has come in handy a number of times, but there's still so much I've yet to learn." He admits.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐢𝐤𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐬. Its hooked beak hovers low to the ground in front of the boy– swaying and chittering as it watches the boy. There's uncertainty in his breath, in his posture... The wyvern is by no means small. It understands it appear as a threat to the hairless welps, but... its other-half smells similar.

So, the Seikret stretches its forelimbs out and... plops onto its side. Its legs are tucked close to its side, and it stretches a wing out to desperse heat ( but also to be cute ). It trills louder, and louder... until its blind counter part comes around the makeshift shelter's entrance.

Xavier squints. His singular eye adjusting to the change of light. Features soften, and he directs his head angle to the distinct trills... and @wylkstone. " Is he bothering you... " The man hums, " ...Nata, is it? Would you like me to move him? "

𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍 𝟎𝟎𝟏. Motorcycle was the literal black sheep of its flock. It was trained with the people of Kunafa and was complimented on its remarkable wit and courage facing monsters, but the Seikret didn't bond with any potential riders. Other Seikrets also often harassed it, causing harm if there was no human intervention.

Until Xavier came along. Xavier wasn't keen after his first ride with the small, bird wyverns at first. He didn't care to learn to expertly ride one, nor initiate any interest, since the first one he road wasn't aware of his blindness ( which he doesn't blame the animal for at all ).

But upon spotting a fellow black sheep, the melanistic Seikret felt a bond with him.

Xavier wasn't expecting the Seikret to coo upon approach, or to slowly push beneath his palm to alert the man of its presence. This Seikret was aware there was something different about him, and it immediately calmed the hunter compared to the last one he rode.

Motorcycle, as Xavier strangely called it, took further notice of its new master's disability during their first hunt. Xavier could hunt well without it– listening to cues and feeling vibrations beneath his feet. But the Seikret took it to another level by instinctively alerting Xavier by running around the monster and signaling him with certain calls to let him know where to strike.

It took Xavier a little bit to understand what the Seikret was trying to do, but now they're in perfect sync and nearly impossible to separate.

𝐇𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰, 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨. Xavier's eye closes softly, and the sickly familiar taste entangles his memory in nostalgia. He used to know what these looked like. The memory is there– hidden behind a foggy haze.

Even though the scents of this place overwhelm him, the sights of it used to give him a headache as well. Perhaps longing is the best word suited for this tightness swelling in his chest... To see the decorations, the outfits many of the guild fashioned for the occasion... He doesn't miss all the pink, though... His nose scrunches momentarily at the thought, but he takes another bite. It's why he usually only lingered for an evening back in the day.

" Aye, " he leans an elbow on his thigh. " The Festival of the Accord; it's to usher in spring and new... beginnings. It's a good time as any to decide if you want to accomplish anything for the summer... Young hunters usually choose new techniques. "

NATA SHAKES HIS HEAD, a soft little 'mn-nn' spoken to confirm his unfamiliarity . . . and his culinary curiosity. He'd been told that it was sweet and chewy. Xavier's gently advice seemed to confirm this—Nata would have to make a mental note not to overindulge.

"Of course!" He nods with a smile as the spare Dango stick is taken in the Hunter's hand. For being so young, Nata is an astonishingly unfastidious child when it came to food. Given that trying new things had been a positive experience, he didn't exactly turn his nose away from raw fish—provided it was well prepared.

With that, he stands at his mentor's side, quietly taking in his surroundings. The Grand Hub had been painted pink with lush arrangements of cherry blossoms, yet somehow it wasn't too intense. The colors were soft and pastel, easy on the eyes. When lamplight hit the trees at night, it created a warm glow, but he particularly liked to admire the cherry trees in the morning.

"To think they put all of this together just for us . . ." He mulled, reflecting back on how far they'd come since the Expedition first began.

[afurisiit]

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐝– a false sense of sincerity when he KNOWS the guild. His tuning hastens. Not even a sightless glance flickers towards the woman. All it will take is a mere cut of his flesh for the oily ichor to draw more attention than his skill.

" ...Depends. " A hum lingers in his voice as fingers inspect his handiwork. " Will you be getting in my way? "

ah, adapted then. it made sense, though his proficiency was already on par with a sighted hunter- there was very little to compare and contrast here with such an odd case. she'd need to study this more.

"no, though i would love to observe a hunt or two of yours in the future- if you'll have me, of course." spoken oh so sweetly.

@sunshowxr inquired – ❝ iron sword, huh? what are you killing? butterflies? ❞ - OWEN

" 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭… " He flips the blade in his hand and sheathes it on his left hip. It feels a bit heavier than he's used to, but the plan is to keep it around only for this hunting trip. And if it gets lost? He couldn't care less– he doesn't really want it anyway.

" We're going into the Scarlet Forest... it'll have.. multiple uses. " He muses, clicking his tongue before snapping his fingers to summon his trusted Seikret to his side. " I don't believe you plan on cutting down overgrowth or creating a vantage point for me, no? "

[afurisiit]

𝐔𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞, Xavier's cross demeanor melts into a pressed smile. The scent of the familiar treats Nata possesses cuts through the intense, flowery aroma, so instinctively, he holds a hand up to take it right as it's offered.

" I've had Dango many times, " a hum lingers in his voice. " Have you had one yet, child? I fear it'll be the only thing you eat... be sure to try Tom's sushi as well. "

He must've walked into the infamous Blossom Dance Festival. With the construction of the Grand Hub, he shouldn't be shocked that such a celebration made its way out here, but he may not linger long due to the intense aromas.

"HUNTER!" His sprint slows, precariously holding a pair of dango skewers, one in each hand. Given his disposition, it is hard to believe that some time ago, Nata would have been among the last to approach Xavier first. The bright smile on his face is a stark contrast to the shy sadness he once possessed.

"The felynes gave me these—its called Dango! Alma says they're from a village out west." Nata snickers faintly as a the Hunter swats away a cherry blossom petal. " . . . Would you like to try some?"
