[Training] In the dark of the night

M  A   E    A I talked to God to no avail Said, "If you won't save me, please don't waste my time." If Melita had more arrows, then Maea would keep the two in her hand, to speed things up a bit. Much as this encounter had surprised her with its lack of unpleasantness, good things never lasted. Following the instructions, she nocked a new projectile and sent it flying; this time it just barely clipped the stone before bouncing off. The bow felt good in her hands. For such a quick work, the woman seemed to have skills in making weapons, as well as using them. Maea adjusted her stance again, but this time the arrow strayed to the left and missed, when too-sharp details distracted her eyes. She still wasn't used to seeing this clearly. "Hmpf. Perhaps, but where is the fun in that?" Maea's smirk was crooked and didn't reach her eyes. Again the play pretend; it didn't matter if one girl decided to hate her and ended this second lease on life. Perhaps prodding the lioness might even be entertaining, just to see what would happen.
