If you'd like to give archery a go Moody, just let me know.

I'd be happy to get you started.

auror_a_moody January 10 2007, 19:21:59 UTC

*considers for a moment*
*growls*
Archery, huh? That doesn't sound too bad.
*grumbles*
Probably more exciting than knitting, I reckon...
*growls*
Is it difficult?

nex_colubra January 10 2007, 22:08:04 UTC

Fresh air, sunshine. Just what the healer ordered eh?

A bit more exciting, probably yes. I've never tried to knit.

*grins*

Though there are remarkable similarities between knitting needles and arrows.

Not really. A bit of practice and we'll be calling you 'Robin Hood' Moody.

auror_a_moody January 11 2007, 01:14:13 UTC

*grumbles*
Something like that...

*raises an eyebrow*
*growls*
Suppose both are long and pointy...

*rolls his good eye*
I doubt people'll be calling me anything other than Mad-Eye.

*gruffly*
So, what'd'ya practice with for a target? Bales of straw or trees or something?

nex_colubra January 11 2007, 01:34:02 UTC

Oh come on! You spend far too much time indoors old man! You're white as a ghost!

*raises a finger*

And sharp! Let's not forget sharp!

*shrugs and tries very hard not to snigger*

Mad-Eye Robin Hood then! It's got a nice ring to it.

Bales of straw. I do target archery mostly, where you try to hit the bulls-eye. You've probably seen pictures?

And you want to avoid hitting trees. The arrows get stuck.

auror_a_moody January 12 2007, 04:46:01 UTC

*peevishly*
I burn easily.

*rolls his good eye*
*grumbles sarcastically*
How could we forget sharp?

*growls*
You ever call me that, Lestrange, and...

*shakes his head*
*under his breath*
Targets... Why am I not surprised...
*growls, louder*
Well, I've got pretty good aim... Might be simple for me...

nex_colubra January 12 2007, 12:13:26 UTC

*eyebrows raise to his hairline*

Really?! Oh...*realizes and is disappointed* Sunburn.

I don't know. I never do.

*still sniggering*

Oh of course not! Not out loud any way.

*confused*

I don't know. Are you surprised? Target shooting is the most popular form of archery.

*pleased*

Well then, I'll expect the bulls-eye from you right off!

auror_a_moody January 13 2007, 01:16:10 UTC

*growls*
Yes, sunburn. I blister 'n' peel somethin' fierce every blasted time.

*grumbling*
Certainly not out loud.

*shakes his head*
*grunts*
No, not surprised. Just... never mind...

*raises an eyebrow, smirks*
Well, I don't know... I am getting older... A little shaky any more... Maybe a bulls-eye within the first two or three tries, eh?

nex_colubra January 13 2007, 02:56:03 UTC

*fingers twitch involuntarily*

*murmurs*

Perhaps you need a stronger sun-blocking potion.

Not in your hearing certainly! *coughs violently*

*virtuously*

I hunt too you know.

*nods*

Fair enough. Have you ever shot before?

Hee! I can picture Moody with his nose slathered with zinc oxide. :D

auror_a_moody January 13 2007, 04:23:36 UTC

*grumpily*
Eh, I've tried 'em all, it seems. None of 'em work.

*raises an eyebrow*
And what do you hunt?
*adds quickly*
And couldn't you get people to hunt for you?

*growls*
Shot? Yeah. Well, not an arrow.
*gruffly*
A gun though... you know, Muggle weapon.

lol! Oh, dear, with his poor little nose! hee! What an image!

nex_colubra January 13 2007, 12:18:00 UTC

That's most unfortunate. *briskly* We'll try to keep to the shade as much as possible then.

Deer mostly. *quick smile* Grouse and duck.

I could, but I enjoy hunting.

*keenly interested*

Really? I've seen pictures of them. What was it like?

:D!!!

auror_a_moody January 15 2007, 01:23:45 UTC

*gruffly*
I'd appreciate it.

*raises an eyebrow, nods*
I see.

*shrugs, uncomfortably*
Oh, I don't know. It was a long time ago... It was loud, remember that. Loud, and kind-of knocks you backwards if you're not ready for it.

nex_colubra January 15 2007, 04:05:38 UTC

It's the responsibility of a host to see to it that his guest is a comfortable as possible.

*shrugs carelessly*

The deer are far easier of course. It's not easy to lead a flying target with a bow and arrow.

*nods, thinking*

Loud eh? Like an exploding charm or something?

Well in archery you won't end up on your arse.

I take it you normal eye is your master?

auror_a_moody January 15 2007, 04:18:50 UTC

*uncomfortably*
Well... thank you.

*nods*
*growls*
That makes sense...

*nods*
*huffily*
I didn't end up on my arse, for your information.

*growls*
Well, yeah.
*smirks*
Unless the target is behind me...

nex_colubra January 15 2007, 14:52:49 UTC

*smiles because he's made Moody uncomfortable*

My pleasure, I assure you.

Which is why you'll be aiming at big stationary bales of hay to begin with.

*raises an eyebrow and smiles sweetly*

I beg your pardon. You're the one who mentioned getting knocked down. I just assumed it happened to you.

*snorts*

Magical eye notwithstanding, if you can hit a target behind you with an arrow, I'm afraid we'll have no choice but to call you Mad-Eye Robin Hood.

auror_a_moody January 17 2007, 16:18:27 UTC

*scowls in return*

*voice gravelly*
Hay, hmm? Alright, well that should be easy enough.

*growls, pointedly*
Knocked backward, I said. Not knocked down. There's a big difference.

*gruffly*
Well... Let's see how I do with the target in front of me first, eh?
*growls, adding quickly*
And don't call me Mad-Eye Robin Hood.
