Varen nodded silently.

The girl was interesting to say the least. She felt like she was far too chipper to be keeping secrets but who was she to judge? Varen herself probably seemed like someone who should be keeping a lot of secrets, but she never really did. If someone asked her something she would probably tell them whatever they wanted to know. Varen definitely wanted to get closer to her, maybe she'd find out the reason for it, if there was one besides her just being a stranger. Maybe people weren't as bad as she thought they were.

She wasn't entirely sure if the small girl's weapon could use dust cartridges but it never hurt to offer something. Varen took the clip out of her gun and studied it for any errant wasted ammunition as she walked after Asvoria. In the earlier stages of the creation of her gun, sometimes it would consume more ammo than intended and it had taken a while to fix. She'd kept doing it a lot of the time though, mostly out of habit and sometimes because she wasn't sure how much she'd shot.

[i][color=darkslategray]Looks like it's about enough for 25 shots.[/color][/i] She thought.

The ammo capacity of one clip was about 30 rounds for the assault rifle, taking 3 rounds per sniper round, and 5 rounds per shotgun round. The conversion rate for the shotgun was 5 rounds for 9 pellets so it wasn't bad, but she could definitely up the efficiency. The conversion rates really do give her grief sometimes. Sometimes she could end up with 4 in the clip while using the shotgun and then having to switch to sniper mode then assault rifle mode for the sake of efficiency. Each clip took a full dust crystal so it really wasn't cheap to refill.

Varen slung her gun over her shoulder and took a small jar from the Ammo Box. She emptied the clip into it and stowed it away in her pockets while grabbing 4 clips from the Ammo Box and slotting one into her gun. It would be best to start on a full clip. If she got caught out she wanted every piece of dust in that ammo clip ready to fire, and she'd be able to use the powder with her semblance in case she needed too. Full crystals were a little dangerous after all.
