( Pointedly, she keeps her distance, enough that it's likely she's thinking about his reach and her own reaction speeds. Her eyes are fine, as far as she's concerned, so watching him handle his odd weapon from where she does gives her... well. A view on it.
Then he starts speaking, and she pays attention, even if she agrees: largely, it's still useless information, because she has no context for it. A projectile weapon was apparent, from the last of what she'd seen. The force of its impact is surprising, based on what he says. She hardly sees why he needs to clarify that it uses technology, not magic, but then again it's not like she detects specifics of that anyway. Just that she's more used to technology than magic, whatever it is that she knows Yennefer did at Sodden. Whatever she can, in theory, do, which requires nothing outside of herself to shred or vaporize whatever she doesn't even have to touch.
It leaves her stomach vaguely upset, and she nods. )
More like a crossbow than a longbow in that sense.
( Winch it back, pull the trigger, there goes the bolt. She'd not done much of anything with either, but she knows of them, because no one is the granddaughter of her grandmother and remains unaware of the weapons of war. )
Its... what did you call what it shot? The things it shoots, how difficult are they to make? And isn't it possible to use magic with it?
( He was a bit too emphatic about the not magic. She doesn't smile, but if he has a read on teens, he can suss out she's definitely... absolutely... being a touch sassy about that, specifically. )
