i see. archery is a great skill of strength and precision, though i would associate it more to offense rather than defense. it is hard to shoot an arrow when your opponent is at arm's length. . . . i could . instruct you, if you would like.

of course. archery is a basic skill i was taught. i can share what i know. do you already have a bow of your own ?

[ the most pathetic squeak. covering her eyes!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[ nod. ] i can meet you wherever you want to train, whenever you feel ready. just tell me the hour and i'll be there. perhaps the castle grounds ?

[ restringing a duplex bow... sitting in silence. ]

i forget to be alive sometimes.

i haven't ridden a sand seal in so long . . . are you looking for a challenge ?

hmmm . i accept the challenge, my lady. may the best seal win.

it's good you have so much faith in your seal, my lady. you've set high expectations. [ she nods, as shepulls a shield of the mind's eye from her back, and then, with a hand to her lips, calls for her own sand seal. it might take a moment for it to arrive . . . ]
