Tal started to puff up a little, mollified by what he thought was Flora's defense before she promptly poked a skeptical hole in his ego and the courier deflated once more. Maybe inviting both women had been a mistake...
But it was good to see them again, even if they were ganging up on poor little old him, and they'd both brought interesting items to the literal and metaphorical table.
Anju's ring might not have had much in the way of targets anymore, but her bow was a welcome addition to the martial side of the display. Tal listened to her description of it and nodded eagerly in understanding. "Could come in handy for fightin' ice elementals an' frost giants," he opined enthusiastically. "Or lightin' signal fires from a distance!" The War might have ended, but some habits still remained...
Determined not to let Flora's teasing get under his skin more than it already had he whistled in sincere appreciation of the bounty she brought to the exercise. A weapon, a defense, a means of transportation, and a particularly versatile mirror. "You've been makin' good use of that stuff I delivered for you, huh?" he grinned at her, remembering a couple of challenging jobs in particular and trying to guess which items had resulted from them.
His gaze lingered on the capitol compass for a moment before he shot the Peregrine a guilty glance and cleared his throat. "Right. Well. We've got three weapons here, so we might as well test 'em out, yeah? Pass your weapon t'the right an' see if you can hit the targets." He pointed back to where they log slices with their painted rings had been set up a little distance away in front of a barrow that acted as a backstop. "An' then we'll swap around again so everyone can try the other weapon." At least, that was the plan.
Tal passed his Dagger to Anju and reached for Flora's feathers, then stepped up to the rough line of sticks on the grass - twenty feet back from the targets - and hefted one of the little blades curiously, testing its weight before he let it fly.
Round 2
