Right. Though, hopefully there won't be any need for them to get used to what happened last week.
[Haha yeah good luck with that this is a murdergame. She releases her arrow, and it sticks to the tree just above Claude's. This is indeed their game for now.]
But hm! Speedy. Well, she'll take a moment to eyeball the distance between her last arrow and his, and then quickly take aim - when hers thunks into the tree, it's above his, more or less the same distance.]
...I know. It just seems a little unfair, for the people who aren't used to this sort of thing.
(The trick here though is he wonders how high Yona might go before she shoots an arrow that is too far out of her reach to retrieve easily. His next shot is higher once again,)
No one should have to live their life always thinking about death. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
[She also shoots higher, when she takes her turn, because she definitely intends on scaling the tree to get them back if they have to. She doesn't want to lose, the stubborn fool.]
(He's only got one more arrow to go so he really has to make it count. It would be easy to shoot higher, he thinks, but what good would that do? They would just be left climbing trees to recover their arrows and that would be more trouble than it was worth. It's easy to shoot high which is why this time, he nocks his arrow, takes aim and
Fires right at her last arrow. Where as the others had all had some measured difference, a growing distance between them as they'd gone higher and higher, this time, he tries to aim as close to her's as possible. Of course, it takes real skill to do something like split and arrow and there's always some room for error, even during perfect conditions with one's personal, best arrows.
But his arrow comes close to hers, only slightly above hers. If they'd had a real target with rings, they'd probably be sharing the same ring.)
I think we're the same. (Lowering his bow and watching her now,) Of course, I expect us to have our differences but hopefully, we can work through those if not set them aside for what we want here.
Yona narrows her eyes, then draws her last arrow from where it's tucked into the sash at her waist, and nocks it.
She takes a little longer to aim, this time. And as much as she would like to try to split his arrow down the middle, that would be wasteful, given that they don't have all that many to start with. When she lets it fly, she holds her breath - and it sticks to the tree with a solid thunk, just to the left of his.
Yona lowers her bow and smiles at him.]
Some differences are a good thing - having different perspectives will help us notice things the other might miss. But I think we're similar enough that we should be able to work together.
And he tucks bow under his arm and gives her a polite round of applause,)
Well, that was fun. We'll have to do this again!
(Truly! He had a lot of fun and he's going to go over to collect those arrows! The first few are easy to get but once they start to get higher up, he sets his bow down next to him and kneels down, and looks at Yona,)
I'll give you hand.
(He laces his fingers together, a nice little step for Yona to perch herself on to reach those higher arrows easily.)
...okay, so that's not exactly how it goes, but it's also not totally inaccurate and it's funny, so it's staying in this tag. With the boost, it's much easier for her to grab the higher arrows - though she does have to stretch her arm out a little for the highest ones.]

(His turn and this time, he readies his bow and draws quickly, with barely enough time to aim.
... Which must have been enough considering he's struck his arrow higher, this time, increasing the difference more. It's Yona's turn once more.)

Ah, that, we can agree on.

I wouldn't, either.

Thanks, Claude.

(Lowering her so she can hop off without tripping or anything or something!! And it's time to divvy up their arrows properly.)
You're welcome, Yona.
I mean it. We should do this again. I find practicing usually helps me focus when I can see a clear target in front of me.
(Just sharing study tips.
AND THEN THEY GO AT IT AGAIN NEXT WEEK I GUESS)
