Luca looked at the chests, the shelves, the neat little rows of things he couldn't begin to name and then back at Mavis.
"You know, I can't really judge any of these without understanding what they do." He gestured broadly at the collection. "Would you mind giving me a tour? Explain what each one is for?"
Mavis blinked, pulled from her quiet reverie. "Oh! Right. Right, of course. I completely forgot." She straightened, a familiar flicker of pride igniting in her chest. This was her stage, after all.
"Well, don't just stand there, Dummy Hero. Come along!"
She trotted over to the nearest table and picked up the first device.
It appeared to be a wrist-mounted crossbow, cleverly concealed beneath a metal bracer, with multiple bolts arranged around a rotating mechanism.
"This." She announced with obvious pride. "Is called the Sparrow's Bite!"
Luca leaned in, genuinely fascinated as the craftsmanship was remarkable.
