[open] safe in the dark

[thenotsofair]

He isn't fully healed. Not entirely. His dreams are still fragmented, red and terrible. He still feels a little tug under his heart every time he thinks he sees the Dog out of the corner of his eye. He still can't forgive Curufin, not quite. He still can't face Findarato, still twitches when he hears the wolves outside, and the scars will never go

Here's one insufferable Atan in the front yard, shooting some strange contraption at cans lied up. She may look up.

"Heeellllo?"

[thenotsofair]

The gun actually definitely gets his attention, in kind of an annoyed way. It's interrupting his focus, and his dog is standing up and has his hackles lifted, eying Eda warily. With his hand resting on his head, the two of them almost look like one being, attached in some strange way.

"Who are you?"

It's not quite hostile. But probably borderline.

[nuns4money]

She stops her fire and looks at the Elf and his dog.

"Eda... and you?"

[thenotsofair]

"Tyelkormo Turcafinwe," he says, somewhat tightly, expression tense and wary. "What is that?"

It's ugly. And loud.

Not like a weapon should be. :|

[nuns4money]

And Eda is not gonna attempt to say his name, cause offending him is a guarantee.

"A Glock 17L... otherwise known as a gun or a firearm."

It gets the job done, don't insult her baby. >D

[thenotsofair]

Yep, probably. Elves don't take well to butchering their language. They really don't.

Have his skeptical eyebrows, Eda. Also the judgmental ones. "I see."

Give him good steel any day.

[nuns4money]

Elitist.

"Well... what brings you around these parts?"

[thenotsofair]

Well yes.

"Practice," he says, shortly, indicating the bow. "This is a good range for it." And you are sullying it. Implies his tone. A bit.

[nuns4money]

"Well if I'm bothering you, I'll move. Since obviously bows are better than guns."

Yes, she's being sarcastic.

[thenotsofair]

Tyelko doesn't bother to smile. Just looks at her, eyes half-lidding a little bit. For a long moment. Then he says, "That might be better, yes."

He's ignoring the sarcasm, not unaware of it.
