They tucked their sketchbook under their arm and moved closer to examine Nephele's chakram. If they were smarter, if they were more accustomed to danger, maybe the sight of the weapon would have warned them off, made them a bit more cautious. But instead it fascinated them.

They thought of this use in the abstract; it didn't occur to them that a weapon needed a target, and they were the only one at hand.
