DELPHINE
Delphine shook her head slowly. "I was... always protected. My father and brother were part of the guard, and then there was Zariah and... then Bellamy." She shifted her weight, speaking quietly, "I've never used a weapon to kill. Plants, sure, poison's easy to make." She doesn't elaborate, she was always uncomfortable around weapons; but she did understand why and when weapons could be useful.
"Did you know that a single Oleander leaf can kill a small child? Depending on the size of a person... you'd only need three or four leaves, ground into their tea." Her gaze was focused ahead of them, and she shifted to drop her bag on the ground.
She moved to a nearby tree, fingers seeking the vine that weaved its way up the trunk. Plucking and pulling, gentle movements, she freed the vine from the tree by a section, "Sumac. Causes one hell of a rash, but if you ingest it..." She dropped the vine, rubbing her hand against her pants. "...there's a good chance you'd die."
She turned to face Noah, crossing her arms. "But I've never used a blade outside of my occupation. I've used magic to defend myself, too, but..." He already knew magic was currently a touchy subject for her.

I'd like to see the world upside down,
it could be more beautiful.
