Arrows were his first and best defense against trouble...
And completely useless in the city. There had been enough barroom brawls that he'd barely avoided and attempted muggings that he'd only outrun by luck, that Kel had come to the decision that he needed to get better at protecting himself, and swiftly. Whatever strength and skill he'd had on his world was mostly gone on this one, his muscles weakened and his grace lost in the transition.
The boxing ring had garnered some gossip in the wake of the eruption, its owner hailed as one of the heroes of Kaiholo, though Kel hadn't learned of it until later, when the ashfall had driven him to shelter in the town rather than the jungle.
That had led to those incidents he was eager not to repeat, or at least to be able to end swiftly when they happened. He had walked past the door more than once, hesitating over whether to enter, but today he had finally pulled together his courage and slipped inside, looking around for anyone to give guidance or show him what to do.
