[Video clicks on to Claudia holding a bow. She's holding it away from he body, uncertain what to do with it. She tries to sound confident, but it isn't exactly working.]

So I'm gonna try this whole archery thing. Why not? I probably won't shoot my eye out.

[She pauses, hesitating over that thought.]Yeah, everyone around the lake, keep eye out for ( Read more... )

You ever tried shooting before, princess?

Plenty of times.

Just not with a bow and arrow.

[That actually gives him a moment's pause, because he's still not used to 'shooting' being used for really anything but arrows. But then he grins a bit.]

You want a little instruction, before you risk eye loss?

[She extremely relieved.]

Thank you.

Teach me your ways Obi Wan.

Please don't. Eye injuries are gruesome.

[She's only half joking]

agentknockknock January 17 2012, 04:05:48 UTC

We both know I would look amazing with an eye-patch.

But yeah I'll be careful.

abstinentzombie January 17 2012, 20:03:29 UTC

Yeah, you'd look fucking adorable.

Think adding a peg leg would be too much?

[I'm sorry, Claudia, but... one of your arrows appears to have struck a local raven right through the wing! He is quite dramatically squawking bloody murder (without the added crows) as he beats his wings furiously to land upon the ground in a tumble.

Gasping, wheezing, and otherwise over dramatising the agony of his coming death, the raven (Bartiraven, to be precise) is crawling towards Claudia, leaving a trail of feathers.]

You... you did this...!

[Why, yes, a raven DID just accuse her of assault with a deadly weapon.

Bartimaeus, unfortunately, is just having a spot of fun. The arrow is uncomfortable and hurts, but all he need do is dissolve into a bit of smoke and let his essence heal up before he's right as rain.

But, where's the fun in that?]

[Claudia drops the bow and arrow. Her eyes go wide and her jaw drops.

After a few seconds her brain kicks in, and she rushes over to it. She hit a bird. A talking bird, but still she hit it. She's never shooting this stupid thing again.]

Frak, I am so sorry!

[Her hands hover over it's wing.]

Do I take it out or leave it in? Where's a vet?!?

[Bartiraven drags himself a few steps closer, then rolls over onto his side with one big, dramatic, pained gasp. This is his life flashing before his eyes - pecking his way out of the nest, the first time momma knocked him out to fly... all sorts of things that ravens do.

Come to think of it, Bartimaeus is no expert on ravens, so the internalised slideshow is short.

Instead, he makes a show of laboured breathing, gesturing weakly at the arrow.]

Take it out... my heart... You shot me in the heart, murdere--

[Another dramatic gasp, avian frame shuddering with the effort - because you totally shot him in the heart! ...in his wing.]

[Light chuckling can be heard.]

I take it you've never shot a bow and arrow before?

[Then again, neither has Chloe. Hey, at least this girl seemed to have a sense of humor.]

Would you mind company, or would that just raise the risks of possible injury?

[She's grinning, but knows it'd be nice to have some kind of way to protect herself here.]
