It wasn't common knowledge that Elva had worked as a mercenary before coming to Landvik. It wasn't something she'd been proud of; the work was practically assassination, decent pay to go take out a certain werewolf or pack without question as to what the employer's motives were. There was little morality in it, and this had always bothered her, but a girl had to eat somehow, right?
She liked working at the Academy much better, so far. Having coworkers and friends around, stable pay, a place to live that wasn't temporary. Not to mention finding Brianna by some crazy stroke of luck, or fate, would in itself have made the change in profession worthwhile.
Here, at the shooting range, Elva often found herself -- to pass time, to practice, to get better at the job to which she was immensely dedicated. She rubbed her heels into the dirt below her feet, feeling the urge to shift; the one thing about a full-time schedule was that the hyena was complaining about not getting enough time out, and the forest was right there, despite the fact that trees weren't exactly a hyena's natural habitat. Her rifle felt heavier than usual in her hands, and she tossed it in the air once before catching it.
Elva pushed all thoughts from her mind as she took her stance, held up the sniper that sometimes seemed to be practically as long as she was tall, and focused.
