[ she doesn't love the idea, but if Bellamy's telling her to "just try it", she's going to. versatility, it's not the first time she's heard that word when it came to this stuff. back home, Lincoln used it to tell her about knowing the different uses of every weapon. that it was one thing to carry a weapon and practice a few take-downs with it, but also knowing how to improvise, knowing she could take a weapon off of a corpse and not need to think about how to use it, was just as important.
