"Careful they don't shatter too much when you hit them; crystal splinters are a whole nother level of pain." Ixtil nodded sagely. She was being a helpful adult today! Take that those who told her she was too reckless and full of herself!
She listened as Ku told her that no, no one was making sure they could do things and be strong.
"They're pampering you." She scowled and shook her head. "Tell you what twerp, I'll teach you. You can only go so far on your own. The first lessons are always the most important. Once you have the basics down you can go wild on your own." How were the supposed new future and sisters (cousins?) supposed to be strong if they were not taught? Pampering and cuddling were for earthlings!
"Traps are to start you off so you can fend for yourself in the wilderness without needing to be big and strong. Or when you're hurt and cannot move too far or fast. As for hard to make.. not really? Its mostly finding the right materials and hiding them."
