[Training] we all need a little bit more

Nikolai

We are only haunted by the things we refuse to accept

Nikolai listens to the sudden lecture intently, committing  as much of the information to memory as he possibly can. He imagines the only time he'll  need to know the names of each piece of the bow is if he's asking for a repair, but it's useful to know nonetheless.

Once the explanation ends, Nikolai nods with wide eyes. His excitement to learn something new keeping his nerves at bay. "What are the purposes of different bows? Do some hit harder or send the arrow further or something? Are there different types of arrows? And you've been an archer since before you Ascended? That's incredible!" He then freezes, realizing that he practically bombarded her with questions. Giving a nervous chuckle he added, "If you don't mind explaining."
