The Forms of the Tomb-ColoniesYou defend yourself with your main and flourish the badge with your off hand.
The Adventuress' Correspondence CourseYou flourish your badge as though it were an explosive you're about to throw: it's one way to get their attention.

95 - 100"Keep your irons away from me," […] "Last time I was locked up, it were back on the Ungulate. Before your time, that would've been! And I never fancied seeing the inside of New Newgate."
