Noted. I have a sword, but it can attract a lot of attention. I have other ways of handling combat though.
[He doesn't seem too worried about it if nothing else. Honestly, he'd thought a mission focused on getting two sides to stop fighting wouldn't have involved so much combat, but he wouldn't be making that mistake again.]
I used to have a lance I would use and then later I received a javelin. They're fairly similar to a spear, so I've practiced with them for several years. They're better for keeping opponents at a distance and striking when you further out.
[They also made excellent conduits for his lightning, but he didn't mention that just yet. It should also be noted that Jason was clearly a teenager, so the fact that he had used a spear for several years might have raised some eyebrows depending on who he was talking to.]
I think you can learn just as much about a weapon by fighting against it as you can using it. If nothing else it gives you an idea of what it can do and then you just have to figure out how to use that move yourself. I've learned a lot of fighting techniques by having them used on me first. [He chuckles.] For better or worse anyway.
