[Sure. What I mean is that Juliette's not really one for small talk with
strangers. I'm not having trouble thinking of things to write, she's just a
bit of the... private type.]

"A Sidewinder. A very reliable machine. It had a long service record in the
Republican Army, and was involved in many sorties during the War."

"My style?" Juliette pondered. "I strive for efficiency and effectiveness. In
a true duel, where honor is at stake, it is important to abide the rules of
the duel and best your opponent in a straight-on fight." The young woman
blinked for a moment, suddenly seeing the scarred and bloody face of the last
man she'd dueled -- right before she'd come to the Badlands. "But I suppose
you mean more in terms of sport dueling. I carry a heavy paratroop rifle as my
primary armament, and a vibrorapier for close work."
