WHO: Merida Dunbroch and Sonya Blade WHAT: Match-up/Random meeting in the woods WHEN: Saturday afternoon WHERE: The Woods WARNINGS: Nah STATUS: Closed/Ongoing
Merida preferred to spend as much of her time as possible in the woods. As interesting as the city was (they could call it a town all they liked, it was enormous to Merida), she could only take it in small doses before all the sounds and smells and unfamiliar things got to her and she ended up with a terrible headache. She could hear those things in the woods, too - there was no escaping them - but it was better here than it was there.
And, of course, she could practice her archery here, which was one of her favorite things to do. That definitely hadn't changed.
She was fitting an arrow now, aiming towards the deer-shaped target she had several hundred yards away. It was a difficult shot, and she wasn't at all sure that she'd make it, but she was going to try. She didn't work by doing the easy stuff, but by putting the targets as far away as possible, and moving them closer until she could hit them. That way she could find her limits faster.
