Learning to Fend for Yourself

[losthunter]

After a brief absence from the Nexus, Hunter has returned. He is still without his magic, as evident by the growth of hair on his head and not being covered by tattoos or piercings. However, Hunter does not have one tattoo, a freshly-created recreation of the rose bush tattoo on his left forearm.

Hunter seems to be deep in thought, as he taps a pencil on a large sketch book with one hand. His other hand is playing with a protection rune hanging from his neck.

"If you had to face a foe that has abilities you do not... how would you prepare yourself?" Something about his question might clue a listener to the fact that this is not hypothetical.

Aal blinks as she looks up from her own little nook where she'd been sketching faces etc of the heroes she'd met lately. and rubs her chin in thought. She'd seen him around but she doesn't think they'd been probably introduced yet. She slightly tilts her head to the right in a rather doggish manner. Ooh a rune, that was definitely a good start. She mentally muses.

"Well, I'd first try and find out as much as I could about them.." She gonna probably start quoting The Art of War and such soon. "Know Thy Enemy and all that." She adds and then smiles friendly like and offers her hand to shake. "Ahem, I'm Ashlynn, by the way. Mrs. Ashlynn Aalish Sinclair." She states politely. "Perhaps I can be of assistance?" She asks warmly and with a tad bit of concern naturally in her tone.

After all, she was a Healer and peacekeeper first and foremost and if there was gonna be a fight...

"I am not going to put myself at risk trying to get to know this person." Hunter does not accept the offered hand. He is using both of his hands right now, with one carrying his journal, and the other keeping a steady grasp of his necklace.

She blinks er perhaps she should have phrased it differently. "Course, not but..um is there perhaps some..indirect way of getting intel about them? Especially they're strengths and weaknesses.." She half asks softly and sheepishly, apologetically smiles slightly and drops her hand back down after a moment. right right, ahem. She tucks her hand into a pocket feeling a mite awkward now.

"And send someone else to get close to her?" Hunter tilted his head.

He sighed. "Listen. I don't mean to be rude. But she is able to hurt me at quite a distance with her magic. And I wouldn't want to endanger anyone else."

She hums uncertain, "Well I don't know about a person..maybe some sort of device or clever critter could..help." She suggests as a possible idea. Slightly itching her temple in thought.

she blinks and nods slightly, "Ah.." She states and frowns not happy about the idea of him being hurt at all. "Sounds like..ya..need something that could maybe deflect or send what she sends at ya back toward the caster. " She murmurs softly rubbing her chin. If this woman was anything like the wicked sort of witches back home. She could only imagine the kind of crap and pain he's had to deal with. A good lot of them abused their gifts and could be petty nasty pieces of work.
