The brutal honesty is not something she expects. It stills her hand, has her sparing the queen a look. "I hope you don't have a pair for every day."
It's not a very elaborate thing to say. Not something fancy or witty, but it's genuine. Thinking about the happiness of another hasn't been something she's done in ages, but now that Charlotte's mentioned it, she can't help but wonder how often the queen isn't happy.
Zaira squats to watch what Charlotte pulls out, snorting quietly at the underwear. If the redhead looks up, however, she'll only see a carefully blank face. No visual reaction to those skimpy panties. Nope.
"If someone's attacking you and a gun's not already in your hand, it won't help. They'll already be on you by the time you pull it out, click off the safety, aim, and shoot."
She presses her palms to the floor and scoots closer. Closer enough to reach up and press her fingers lightly to a spot below Charlotte's ear, on her neck. "Your vagus nerve is here." She reaches with her other hand for Charlotte's, bringing the queen's fingers to the same spot on her own neck. "If you're close enough, aim a hit in this spot. A weaker hit will cause intense pain and muscle spasms. If you hit someone hard enough, you can knock them out."
