[Narratively convenient...? Huh. That's an interesting way of putting it.]

When I first arrived, I didn't have my gun either. I had to get a blacksmith to make one from designs I drew. Aldrip wasn't so... technologically advanced, as it is now. It was a challenge. Thankfully mine appeared one day, so perhaps yours will too? Things from home like to pop up, when we least expect them.
