Daine nods in understanding. It makes sense; aside from the police, she's never seen anyone carrying a weapon openly. She's not even sure it's allowed. It's one of the many things that makes Darrow feel so strange to her.
It could be worse, though. At least, with her magic, she could make herself a weapon if the need truly arose. But while some folk might hide knives or guns about their person, it seems a shame that there's no way to advertise that you know how to defend yourself - or someone else.
"And proper foes tend to show up all sudden-like," Daine says with a rueful wince. "Even if I had my bow here, I'm not sure I'd've had it with me when those things showed up on New Year's." She'd call it a lesson learned, except she's still fair certain it'd be frowned upon to bring a longbow to a fancy gathering.
