[Thankfully, Shu learned how to fight from a very terse senpai, so he doesn't hesitate before lowering himself down and making sure his face is behind his shield, which he makes slightly larger in anticipation. When the beam of light passes over his head, he gets the distinct feeling he's dealing with a much more experienced Dreamer here.]

[Well that, and the very Adult Sound of the voice who called out. Shu whistles low as he peers over his shield at the damage. Well, that was effective.]

[Then he turns to see the very large adult man sloshing through the much toward him. He's about to chirp a friendly greeting when the rescuer speaks first. Okay, that's unnecessarily rude.]

Hey, it wasn't exactly a conscious choice!

[He glances down at the buckler-style shield. No, old man, he can't throw it! But. He spins it on his arm, it turns back into his glass for a moment before slapping it against one shin. His boots transform, taking on the sandglass-like quality and bulking up.]

These are the weapons.
