Quote:From: a Middle Aged Man with a Guitar, On a Vespa...Quote: Also, he'd be presenting his daughter, Mayonaka, with her first true weapon..."Oneesan, why is you daddy teaching you to bring a knife to a gunfight?"
"It's a stilleto."
"It's kind of small, Poppa. What's so great about it?"
"Because you can hide it someplace like a boot or a bodice and then shiv the bad guy when he gets just close enough... or when you sneak up on them.
And, while small, it's still long enough to pierce the vitals."
Yeah, he loves his girl, but he's pratical. He (and I for that matter) would rather have a daughter that knows how to kill someone effectively than
have a dead daughter and a killer on the loose.
"He said that sometimes I'm going to want to be subtle, Helen."
"What's 'subtle' mean? That isn't a word that my daddy uses."
And later (preferably much later), when Helen discovers her pistol isn't as effective in close-quarters combat as Mayonaka's knife is,
she'll want to cross-train...
To: Mayonaka to be delivered upon her Personal Declaration of Independance, or the Day after her First Kill,
For an Angel who's innocense has been shattered. May she never fall in battle.
