(Newt shrugs a bit. He's got nothing else to offer up. Especially when he can barely remember anything about technology that would be of use.
Who ever did? Okay, so, Newt actually was convinced this was another Trial for the first month he arrived. It was way too similar to his life so far so it wasn't a surprise for him but as far as everyone else was concerned, yeah, totally.
Funny how most people didn't. The kid was a gentle sort admittedly but he'd also come from a pretty violent world. Didn't outlive that sort of thing without resorting to violence a few times yourself.
Newt winds up smirking just a tad. He wasn't expecting that compliment and he'll totally take it.)
I had a machete mostly back where I came from. Which sounds more badass than it was. It was handy for gardening but if I had to I could use it to knock out someone who uhhh-
(Wait a second there. He twists his mouth shut for a moment and okay. So certain aspects of his home life were easier to talk about than others and this was one of those others where he didn't like talking. He's drunk enough to be clumsy and he stares up at the colorful sky for a moment to collect himself.)
Anywhoooo. Spears are easy. It's all about balance, yanno? They're good though cause you can use them long range or up close 'nd personal. And they're not so bad for blocking and knocking things down either. Can use 'em to vault around. Talk about a multi-use weapon.
