"You can survive being stabbed through the heart? Damn..." She chuckled. "I got two hearts, or at least I used to before coming here, that might have changed since, but when both were stabbed I was a goner." By now the crossbow was just about done, she was just applying the finishing touches to it. Then she looked over to Dawnika whilst attaching the string to the arms, and rather than winding it up with a mechanism she simply pulled it back with her hand. Finally she loaded the bolt into the middle.
"Here's how it looks like when ready to fire. All you gotta do now is aim it at your target and pull this lever here... that causes this thng sticking out here to withdraw into the wood, releasing the string which then sends the bolt flying." She carefully held it out to her if she wanted to try it. "I used a wooden bolt for it so you won't be piercing any iron armor with it. But I guess you can keep it if you want to examine it a bit more closely."
At the next question, she propped herself on her right elbow and hmmed. "That's a good question... a very good question, even. But... well, there's my family, and even if we didn't have the best of relationships when I left I do miss them. And the world, even though the people on it were mostly hostile towards me, it was my homeworld, you know what I mean? I knew the place. This here is all... new and unknown. In a way it's cool because new and unknown means adventure, opportunity and fun, but at the same time a lot of things were taken from me to bring me here." She eyed the bracelet on her arm, stroking over its surface. "I was able to contact my family using this ring, but it expended a lot of energy to do so and I don't know how to recharge it. And even if so, it's only a means to communicate through distance, not a ticket home." She shrugged and looked at Dawnika again. "What about you? Do you miss home?"
