It's so much new information he doesn't know where to start with the questions he wants to ask. "Guns were new?" That's a strange idea to him, when they'd been such a central and constant part of his life before being decommissioned. One of his first memories is of being handed a gun and given his first lesson in how to shoot it.

The General's last words hit much harder home, though, and his brows furrow in something like distress. "They made brothers fight each other?" The thought makes him feel more than slightly ill, the memory of Krell and his atrocities skimming to the surface when he generally works so hard to forget any part of that campaign and the myriad horrors of it.
