lol @ the end.

I like the bit where she's got the bow in her hands. The frustration at not know what to with said bow.

The idea of that scene was basically what spawned this entire thing. I like the idea of Riza, who's always so confident and capable, being unsure about something. I'm glad you liked it!

She's basically the greatest woman to ever have held a gun. No joke.

True story. If she was a real woman and I was of the gay, I'd tap that. And then she'd shoot me. It'd be true happiness. /shot

Pssh, forget being gay: I'd tap that as a heterosexual female.

So at first I was like "yes, a lovely fic, some interesting implications on gender and its perceptions in Riza's society"

but then

And she will shoot it.

THIS FIC IS IS NOW SOLIDLY FUCKING AWESOME. YES MA'AM. @_@

Hee! I love the part where she has no idea what to do with a bow -- Riza knows her specialties.

Thanks! She's definitely a woman who knows what she's capable of and what she isn't. She's awesome like that. <3
