Day 10, Morning, Athosian area, Attn: Athosians
Ridley had spent some time arranging proper targets and butts and had gotten hold of someone among the Athosians who'd assured him they could fit him with a bow if he showed up the next morning.
He glanced around and spotted a child. "Excuse me," he said, maintaining his distance in case he'd otherwise be considered a threat. "Do you know where I can find an adult who might help me with finding a bow to borrow?" He fought the urge to make bow-shooting motions as he asked.
The child-- he wasn't precisely sure whether it was a boy or girl he'd spoken to-- scampered off. He stood unsure for a moment. Had the child gone to get someone or merely abandoned him? "Hello?"
