Thwip!Another bullseye! The crowd cheered! The Marquis's beautiful daughter's handkerchief floated into his vision, carried on a breeze filled with rose petals. His long hair blew around his square face as he turned into the sunlight and the greatest warmth of all: applause.
Only three more rings in and he'd have it! Liyal pulled his last arrow back and kicked his string back and let it fly. Just the scantest bit inward. He sighed. Practice was hard. Most of the rangers made it so easy. Lille was at least a full circle better than him on a bad day. Didn't take much to hit a toad. You could throw the arrow and hit one! It just was never not embarrassing when you shot at a charging wolf and then dropped your bow because you had to grab for your dagger. Then having two guys with you drop it before you can get a hit in.
"Fu-fu-fu--
pants!" He swore, looking at his dismal showing. Some mages would give their arms to do some magic and be able to shoot as well as him. Liyal just wanted to impress some girls. So far his magic nor his marksmanship was going to do it.
Loudly, he brushed his hands off - his signal to Quen that he was all done. It had been weird when she couldn't leave the Tower. He'd felt bad for her -- and relieved. That could have been him punished with her -- or worse, kicked out! The Mages' Guild wasn't the best place on earth, but dragons! girls! shiny things! girls who rode dragons!
He picked up his communicator before he grabbed his arrows and messaged her.
