Sorry XD Had to edit. For some reason my brain was going "greatsword" instead of "bastard sword"
"Well," Conlan started, thinking on it for a moment. When he spoke, his voice was thoughtful, patient. A genuine inquiry that earned a genuine answer. "For travelin' like we are, we won't have any storage wagons or help to carry any of it. You might be good with what you have now, but add to that armor and the gear you'll need for the journey, and the distance we have to go. Even with a horse it can be trouble. It means a slower pace for all, more stops for rest, more supplies needed. In missions like this, where we dunno what we're up against, we might need a quick exit. Lean is best."
He led the way toward the forge, clearing off a space at the large, worn wooden table for her to set her gear down, continuing to talk as he did so. "My suggestions is pickin' a primary, a secondary, and a dagger. Latter is just as much'a tool as a weapon." He stepped back to allow her to set out what she needed. "For border areas, always bring something made of iron. Much higher chance of trouble being some sort of feyblood, but it works as well against almost any sort of beast we can run into. If you know in advance who you're goin' with, you can figure out what sort of weapons might be needed that others might not use. Unfortunately, I don't know who besides us'll be there." He paused, thinking for a second, before finishing off. "If you somehow lose your primary and secondary, you'll also have others with you who can let you make use of what they have as well. Not ideal, but it is what it is."
