Wretch trying to use guns

Antares held up a hand, and Tristan took up a position, getting people to give her a wide berth. She picked up one of the tinker guns. She held it in one hand, checked the ammo, and then picked up another.

She picked up another gun, and then another.

She picked up another gun, and then yet another.

Antares carried the guns without touching one of them. Her hood hid her eyes, and her feet didn't touch the ground.

She didn't elaborate on the new trick, and Tristan didn't ask. In some ways, he associated new tricks to the way his power had changed when he had murdered Byron. It made a degree of sense to him.

Amid the commotion, one by one, the guns Antares had picked up dropped to the floor, some with mangled handles.
