"Aw, I'm sorry about your dagger, Danny." And he was sincere. He really was sorry to see that hers had broken to soon. But she was cheering him on and he had an image to uphold, so he took his stance again and threw.
Unfortunately, his throw was aimed too close to the previous sticking point, and it skid off the hole, creating a tiny scratch in the wood, and clattered noisily too the ground. The ground was becoming well acquainted with his beautiful dagger today.

"Nah its okay," she said quite honestly. She was already over the poor shoddy dagger. It was just a rock after all.
For the remained of Rikki's throw, she sat silently, trying not to distract him while he worked. She only saw now just how much effort he put into throwing the thing with precision. The way his muscles connected, the concentration on his face.
Was it creepy of her to stare a little?
Well this is jackin' Halloween. Creepy is good.

Nyyrikki picked up his dagger from the floor and inspected it for damage. He could feel it getting weaker, but it seemed like it would be strong enough for a few more throws. He tightened a piece of twine on it, then returned to where he'd been standing and took his stance again.
When he threw this time, he aimed higher. That was the real trick now. Just don't aim in the same places. It stuck in what would be the dummy's throat and vibrated with the impact for a moment, a Rikki let out an excited whoop! He was on a roll today. Doing good, doing good. When he even had to put a bit of effort into retrieving the dagger, and grinned back at Danny like a school boy (oh wait, he was a school boy wasn't he?), knowing he was doing pretty damn well.

Danny had picked up a piece of wood from the table and begun carving it with her claws, not really making any images or shapes- just random squiggles and lines.
When Rikki turned around, she gave him a big smile and a thumbs up, but the moment he turned around, she went straight back to carving. She was bored okay. She'd already been sitting still for more than a minute- that was just too long.
"Hey Rikki, think they'll let us visit the other islands?" she asked idly. Danny had all but forgotten she'd signed up for conquest's class.

"Uhhhhh..."
Despite Rikki's intelligent sound of thinking, he wasn't quite considering her question. He took his stance and threw the knife again, once again whooping as it stuck, this time in the dummy's arm. It wasn't until he was pulling it back out that he remembered she'd even asked a question. He was the best boilfriend in all the world. Really, he was.
"Oh. Uh. No probably not? We could ask."

Danny just sat there patiently waiting for an answer. She knew he was concentrating, and didn't want to break whatever focus he'd built up.
When he finally did respond, Danny said, "It might kind of fun to visit-" She stopped, noticing his knife was cracking at the end. "Oh! Rikki you might want to-"

Nyyrikki wasn't really listening. He was pleased as jacking punch with himself, and he let the dagger fly before he even realized Danny had begun to speak again. It stuck in the Dummy's leg, and for a brief second Rikki laughed. But then there was a crack, and the handle fell off and crashed to the floor.
"Dammit," he pouted, turning around to face Danny. "So much for that." He held out his hand, though he still looked a bit downcast, and gestured for the elevator. "Can we go back to sleep now?"

Danny laughed and said, "Of course we can." She walked over to him and wrapped herself around him in a hug, just taking a moment to appreciate his presence. Always thinking of sleep though. Rikki was such a lazy bum sometimes.
... Then again, it wasn't all bad to by lazy occasionally. Especially when it meant she got to curl up with him in a hammock whenever she wanted to. She really could get used to this island.

Danny was up for another big, big, big day.. Of weapons making. She wasn't in the mood to talk with anyone. Her mind just kept replaying those beautiful glyphs. Secretly, when no one was around, her mind drifted towards the cave, and she felt the power drawing her once more.
It was like a special treasure that she could keep to herself in a creepy little way. Her hands moved over the supplies and she grabbed the stone once more, not even putting effort into how she made it. Her fingers just kept carving the creepy little glyphs. She felt a sort of comfort in it, an appreciation no one else could have.
It was a hideous, shoddy dagger, but she was going to use it nonetheless. She was a little broken at the moment, sorry.

Dear Jack those glyphs were pretty in her mind. She all but missed the mannequin, her dagger clattering onto the ground uselessly. Her mind was not all there. The clan- she needed to join and protect the clan ....

All at once, Danny picked up her dagger and lurched towards the mannequin, stabbing it in the chest, over and over. One arm gripped the dummy's shoulder while the other just kept stabbing ... and stabbing ... and stabbing.
It was a good thing no one was around, because an odd sort of laughter came out of Danny's mouth. Protect the clan, protect the clan.

Danny came back in to her body and she realized what she was doing to the mannequin. Immediately she stopped stabbing, dropping the dagger and taking a few steps back. What the hell had she just done to that mannequin?!
Her hands went up to her mouth and she didn't even bother to pick up the pieces of the dagger as she ran away. What had she done ....

Danny had been coming back here daily now. It was therapeutic for her, the repeated rhythmic creation of a dagger, hitting a mannequin. They'd been doing a lot of fighting on the island, and Danny was nothing but grateful. She welcomed the distraction from her thoughts, the mindless hitting of dummy and strategic creation of defense in the forest.
Today she came back and waved at the head craftswoman and got straight down to work. She picked the wood that she had picked the very first day to create with. The wood seemed so easy to manipulate, Danny couldn't help but admire it. It wasn't sturdy or useful, but Danny liked knowing it was something she could easily control.
She sat at the bench for far too long, etching tiny designs into the dagger. Intricate swirls, an eye, a pumpkin. It was detailed and insanely overworked, but she couldn't tear away from it.
Her decoration lacked as much energy because by this time she was tired, but it still had more effort than days past. She just kept working it over and over, her fingers creating detail and distracting her mind.

Danny finally realized that she couldn't bide her time on the bend any more, and that she needed to use her dagger. She stood up and faced the dummy, centering her mind and focusing.
She threw the dagger, but it basically grazed the side and then hit the ground. s**t.
