Actually, verbal expression is also used as a weapon.
Since the dawn of time, having some skill with words has ever been an asset, and getting involved in verbal sparring could prove fatal. At least for your self-esteem.
The art of repartee is a talent that Bonnie, Cécile and Gundelf seem to master. In the words of the author of The Three Musketeers, ": Yes, I insulted him. But I wanted to fight him, and when one wants to fight with someone, one has to insult them”.
