I shrug about the thing about the castle, seeing as I assumed it was his home for quite some time now on our trip. There was simply too many things that point to it. First, actually knowing where it's at, second, he knows where everything is at, third, he was willing to traverse the trecherous terrain to get here, and lastly, his sentiments that were uttered upon arrival. I down range of one of the targets and attempt to fire the colassal bow.

I stand up again on two legs to fasten a sash and ambush sword to my back and the other sword to my side (by the loincloth's side). I lowly mutter to myself, "And clearly...this guy needs to learn how to take care of himself and be more careful..."
I smile to Tellat and playfully shake my head.
"I suppose I can play dummy again so you can learn," I say with a chuckle, looking at Desta and grinning playfully.

Shi'ita looks at the crossbow and bolts for a bit before deciding to test it out, and heads to where Jasmine went for target practice. Finding a different target to aim at, he readies the bolt into the firing mechanism before aiming just below the center of the target, and firing.

I take a rather large broadsword not the largest of them nor the smallest so it will be quicker to swing, and can still make heads roll with ease. After all, it's better to have many heads roll rather then just one spactacular blow! "It's not masterwork but its still fit for a dragon," I say to myself, and find a quiver to but some bolts in. No point in having to carry the bolts in my hands!

Desta:
"That'd be fun!" Tellat says.
You find a standard-issue whip. A cat-o'-nine-tails, too! And a selection of daggers.
Jasmine:
You fire it off well enough, but it is pretty hard to do so. You'll need to strengthen up in order to use this properly! You hit the ring directly touching the bull's eye.
Nero:
Tellat just giggles. Zazigh comes over and pats your back.
"I think you might want to reconsider that," he says jokingly. "She might use you as a punching bag more than you expect!"
Shi'ita:
It hits hard, but your accuracy has dropped since you last used a weapon. You hit the third ring from the middle.
Selphie:
You find two types of quivers: shoulder and hip. Which will you take? Or will you take both?

I smile at Tellat's comment before standing up on two legs to take the standard whip before turning to the daggers to look for something pretty and useful. As I look at the daggers I wrap the whip lightly around my shoulder so it hangs nicely and out of my way.

Shi'ita looks at the target and notices the pounds were fine for him, but he would have to practice more so that his accuracy was better. With that piece of knowledge, he heads back to look for a recursive bow and some arrows for it, preferring them over the straight bow. He'd also need a place to stash the bolts and arrows since he hadn't grabbed a quiver of yet, and they were quite helpful.

"Dayum! I make this archery thing look sexy! Let's go for another! It'll be hard to tell if my charm or my arrows are more deadly!" I say cheerfully as I draw back to fire another.

Desta:
You find a dagger that is wickedly curved, but has a neat little design on the handle.
Shi'ita:
You find three sizes of recursive bows: small, medium, and large. You also find quite a few arrows in a nearby crate. There are shoulder quivers and hip quivers.
Jasmine:
It's still hard to pull back on it, but you get right on the line between the bull's eye and the ring you last hit.

"Awesome!" I say softly under my breath with wide eyes as I find this amazing blade. I then look for something to maybe strap onto my thigh to hold the dagger.... or some sort of holding mechanism...

For the recursive bow, he decides he'd like to try out one of the medium sized ones, and goes for a shoulder quiver for the arrows, and a hip quiver for the bolts as that seemed practical with his old body, and he wanted to see how well that worked with his current body, having to be most conscious that any sling like holder (or even a bow) could be worn without harming his wings, and he still could access the contents (object).

I playfully wave off the suggestion of being a punching bag.
"Nah...punching bag shmunching bag. I've been a chair, a pillow, a punching bag, target practice, bait, and much more, I think I'll hold up, pup," I say with a smile to Tellat, then I scratch behind her ears briefly and scratch Laci's as well as I walk over to Shi'ita and Desta.
"Very lovely weapon choices. Death from above is very intriguing, Shi'ita, and imagine the power you hold when you do so at night. Invisible sky terror..." I muse with encouragement, then look at Desta's choices.
"Hmmm...from behind...or above? Or...from any available angle, hm?" I question her as I eye the dagger and look at her.
"Thankfully...we also have camoflague for certain environments...and attack..." I crouch to all fours, "from below!" I say as I launch up and dramatically throw out my claws at Desta.
"How about we teach and learn out there together?" I say with an excited smile, and to Tellat, "and throw plenty of punches!"

"You could say I've always been a tree dweller and archery and whips is all I ever learned." Shi'ita says, then he turns to face Nero and adds much more seriously, "I'm no hunter. I have never found any joy or pleasure in taking the life of another being." He turns away from him, "That's why I..." Death and killing were slightly touchy subjects, not as bad as trying to 'replace Leila' .... but still. Push it enough, killing for fun or involving someone special, and it becomes even touchier.

Desta:
It has a sheath with it, which has a belt.
Shi'ita:
You find that the normal design for the shoulder quiver doesn't work. However, if you mess with the straps, you can have it strap around your neck. The hip quiver works just fine with your current body.
Nero:
"Slow down now," Zazigh says. "Practicing is all well and good, but first I think we should settle in. Perhaps start practicing tomorrow?"
Tellat nods.
"We were walking for a long time," she says.

Shi'ita lets out a quiet sigh, frustrated with the fact that almost nothing is playing nice with his new wings. However, it doesn't stop him from getting creative. If it wouldn't work one way, he'd just have to find another way, so he decides to mess around with it to fashion it to go around his neck, and unless his neck had suddenly gotten much weaker from the transformation, it wasn't like it would kill him from that itself. He sat down on the floor with the bow and crossbow and the two quivers, as much out of the way as he could, as he fiddled around with the strap to the shoulder quiver, More ideas came into his head, though for now he set them to the side, as he was firstly concerned with getting the arrow quiver to rest on his back by having it sling around his neck.
