"Aww yeah! Those 'Xandre's won't see what hit them! Oh wait, then that would be a waste of loveliness... So, they'll see what hit them, and perish with one last climpse of beauty!" I say playfully as I do a rather dramatic motion with my bow and fire another shot, looking to see if anyone else was around.

I take a hip quiver, and load it full of bolts before going to the firing range and test out the crossbow.

Shi'ita:
After a few minutes of fiddling with it, you get it to work. It does not bother your neck all that much.
Jasmine:
Your accuracy improves a bit more! You're not QUITE at the center, but you're close! Selphie is the only other one in the room.
Selphie:
You're...not bad. A little rusty. Try again! Or wait...didn't you always do better drunk? Or was that just a stupid story that some guy in the Academy always told to make fun of you?

"Aw man, I used to be good enough to shoot the cap off a beer bottle! Now I can only hit the target! This sucks!" I complain, rather loudly. Even so I keep trying, after all, you can get batter at doing something unless you do it, same rules apply to holding your booze!

I watched Nero with a tad bit of caution to make sure he didn't get me to trip with the dagger.... I didn't want any accidents, but I was excited to start practicing when Zazigh mentioned we should maybe wait... I then realized how tired I truly was... I decide to try to strap on the sheath for the dagger to see how it feels as I glance over to Zazigh and ask in a pleasant tone. "Speaking of walking a long time, being tired, and waiting... Do you have a place we can all crash?"

"Selph, doncha know? You gotta make this archery thing look sexy! Give the crowd a little fanservice and your accuracy will improve!" I say playfully, firing another round. I was determined to build up the strength to use this thing properly, and the only way to do that was to keep on going!

Once the strap has been adjusted, and quivers attached, Shi'ita decides to try out the recursive bow to see if it was alright. He climbs back up off the floor, picking up the crossbow and bow, before entering the target area again, finding an unoccupied target to aim for and set the crossbow down gently by his feet. Then, pulling out an arrow from the quiver resting on his back and strapped around his neck, he readies the recursive bow, aiming just a fraction above the center of the bull's eye.

Selphie:
Better. But not quite: you would earn 70 points if this was an Academy training.
Desta:
"Yes, there are living chambers on the third floor, in the west wing," Zazigh says. "The royal quarters are on the ninth floor."
Jasmine:
Your accuracy slips. It'd hurt someone, but not fatally wound them.
Shi'ita:
When you let the arrow fly, it hits decently, but not quite where you want it.

"I don't think I can shoot a crossbow in a sexy way, only a bad a** one! Besides, I'm already sexy enough as it is, if I was any sexier, no one would be able to perceive my true form!" I say cheerfully, and keep trying to get my aim back. 70 is good enough, but that was my grade on stealth, I bearly passed the class...

I raise a brow with interest at the mention of the royal quarters and look to Zazigh as if questioning if I could take that over with the hint of a smirk as I finish up strapping on the dagger sheath.

Shi'ita breathes softly as he sees the arrows aren't aligning quite where he wants them. Of course the exact center of the bull's eye was his goal, even though he'd aimed a bit higher with the recursive bow. "Need more practice... and more sweets." he mutters slightly lower than his usual muttering voice.

"Oh, true! Does us no good too be sexy enough to blind em, eh? I think that may have been what happened to my last shot! I know you're more of a crossbow person, but you got any protips for usin' a range weapon?" I ask, doing a dramatic flicking of my long, silver, shimmering hair like a proper girl of fantasical myth. Hmm... kinda funny how all those books captured my mind, but it's more fun to think like this then it is to despair!

Selphie:
Your accuracy improves by ALMOST 10%. Your instructor would've rounded it up to an 80 because he was nice.
Desta:
Zazigh smiles as he sees your questioning look.
"This castle is mine," he says. "And I believe Selphie will likely want the former capital, and Jasmine wants the forest. Beyond that, you may choose from any of the remaining provinces."

"Ranged weapon protips? If you're going to have a lot of time to make the shot, try holding your breath when you shoot, it makes your arm more steady," I tell Jasmine, and lower my crossbow. "I'm going to call it for the day though, can't become a master in one day!" I say cheerfully, and sling my crossbow on my shoulder, grather up my blots, and head out of the firing range.

I shrug with a smirk before speaking. "Well, not to sound like I'm assuming things, but IF I get something, I don't think I would mind where... A place to be is a place to be. I've always made the best of my situations..." I then lean over to admire my dagger in its sheath, trying to do so in a graceful (and possibly sexy) manner.
