Who am I without my armor?
The offer to try out the catapults was a bit too good to pass up. While she normally didn't indulge in childish pranks and mischief, Deimos' grin invited trouble. So, after exchanging a look with Sah, the former soldier shrugged and stepped up to her machine with the stone. The loaded. Made sure no one was around to get hurt... and pulled the lever.
With a groan and creak the catapult came alive. The long arm swung up and around in a wide arc that hurtled the projectile far off into the tundra below, and slowly the counterweight swayed back into equilibrium. Wide eyed and thrilled despite herself, Aino suppressed a whoop of glee and nodded, like this was nothing out of the ordinary.
"It works," she stated redundantly.
Very casually she waited for Sah, before following Deimos back down. If her steps were livelier than normal as she set to breaking off damaged wood, who could blame her?
Aino fires off her catapult and waits for Sah before joining up with Deimos again. She begins to remove the damaged wood.
