You know what?
I'm pretty damn sure I understimated those food bars, they are actually, genuinely tasty.
Like, geniunely.
"Hey, don't you think those are pretty damn good?" I stop munching on my food to show off the rest of it to Annie.
"Perhaps in a dozen of years when I get used to it" I nod at her answer, one time, two times, and conclude that she's exaggerating
"you're being a tiny bit too harsh"
She stop braiding my hair just to stare right into my eyes "I'm being extra kind with those"
I take a bite. She's exaggerating I can feel it. "Nah, you're exageratting" "how!? How!? How am I exageratting" "you're exageratting by exageratting of course" "what does that even mean?" "It means what it means" "isn't taste supposed to be personal?" "Yeah, but no" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO!?"
I rub my ears, ouch.
"It means no." "What?" "What?" "What what?" "What?" "What, what, what!?" "What what?"
"What?" Jenna come interumpt our completly normal conversation, and we both answer her "What?" "What?"
Naturally jenna answer "what?"
Should we continue that?
"I'm...gonna test my bow" "what?"
"Wha- oh wait that's actually interesting."
Anna stop to say "what" at my interest and I answer.
"Wanna understand how's those skill work"
"huh"
She just keep braiding my hair, I lost my hairties somewhere apparently but for some reason she had a thousand -slight exagerattion- on her arm.
"Anyway, show me jenna." I ask, demand, REQUIRE, the answer, and she answer "For sure, I just...have no idea how to test it to be honest"
I finish my food and sit up
"DON'T MOVE!"
I ignore annie and point my finger at Jenna "then you're in luck little legolas, as I, have a system for you, a great system, one that will help you test allllllll those shots"
As annie do the finishing touch, I lift up the packaging of the bar.
"Do you know how we'll test it?"
"No"
"with that!" I wave the empty packaging around.
"Do I need to shoot that?"
I can feel the lack of confidence from here, I dunno if I prefer her happy with goblin blood covering her or like that to be honest.
"Yes"
"but?"
"But you don't need to hit it."
She raise an eyebrow
"you just need to try"
"isn't that the same thing"
"Nope"
She hum and nods, apparently believing me.
I wonder what she believes in, cause I have no system yet.
Just bullshitting.
"You're good to go." I free my magnificient, luxiourious, delicate, strong, silky, brillant, amazing, godly, incredible, mane of hair, now braided, and promptly whip Annie face with it.
"The fuck!?"
I do it again and jump up from my bed, ignoring anything and everything I walk forward, passing Jenna.
"FOLLOW THE HAIR JENNA, FOLLOW THE HAIR, IT SHALL ANSWER YOU"
Balrow sitting on his own bed, wipe his shield with his hand, taking care of it, and just stare at me as I walk forward, I stare at him, he stare at me, I stare at him, he stare at me.
Good grandpa.
I keep up, malfoy is doing pushups on my path, I jump over him.
"THE HAIR SHALL NOT BE INTERUPTED"
He keep pushing, I keep pushing forward.
"Where are we going?" Jenna ask.
"I'm actually curious too" I whip my head back whipping mousy with my hair again "why me..."
She's HERE!?
"You're here?"
"No I'm a ghost what you see is only a reflection of your imag-" I slap her with my hair again.
She stop talking.
Looks real.
"You look real to me"
She lick her lips "I am."
I turn toward Jenna "didn't she said she was a ghost?"
"She did"
"I did"
I frown, what a confusing situation, is she a ghost, yes or no? "But why did you said you were a ghost?"
She open her mouth, shut it, and open it again, maybe she's a fish? "Because I was-" I do a scrumptulous neck rotation slapping her in the face with the braid she herself did.
She shut up.
"You were?"
"You were?"
LET'S GO JENNA'S HELPING ME!
Mousy look at me, then at jenna, betrayal filling her eyes "I reincarnated"
"makes sense"
"yep, let's move"
I turn around, the fast movement slapping mousy face
"Is this targeted? It must be a targetted attack"
Stop whispering Annie, you will never get an answer to your question, talking about question.
"so where are we going?" Jenna ask again and I stop to look at her.
I don't talk, instead, I build suspense to say it...
"outside. We shall go, outside."
############
"1"
My fingers grab the shaft of the bloody arrow. A second later, I place it down.
On the wooden floor, the one in the Archer tower. Yes, the one with strange empty barrel, some dried blood and dead goblins in the grass under us.
Or at least in the tents.
"2"
I breath on my fingers, stretch them, pop them.
Just training them.
I grab another arrow when I feel ready. And I put it down.
"3"
I push my two thumbs against each other training them.
I can see mousy eye twitch.
Trained and ready, I grab the next arrow, and a second later, it's on the floor.
"4"
I grab an arrow, make it fall on the ground!
No!
I rush on it ready to give it first aid! rescuing it from this deadly fall!
One chest compression! Two chest compression! Three eye twitches from mousy!
And it's saved, I grab it, lift it up, and put it back down.
"5"
I grab another arrow...
Unfortunately, I don't.
Don't have more to grab, annie push lots of arrow my way, some bloody, some chipped, some clean.
"25"
I squint in suspicion
"30 in all"
I turn my head to the left, toward Jenna that look at the both of us with a gentle smile, sitting down on the wooden floor of the watch tower, like us.
She know the truth.
"Is she lying?"
"I'M NOT LYING!"
"She's not lying...I think?"
I turn my head back to mousy, her eyes go wide, she can feel it, I'm going to recount them, no...it will take an additional 3 hours!
Fast she need to do something!
"Alright let's test this skill for now"
I traumatized her enough for now.
I hear a sigh of relief but ignore it, instead I grab a piece of cloth I ripped apart from one of the tent, the ones below.
And I push it against the low wooden wall, just above it. I push one of the dagger in, forcing the cloth to stick to the wood.
"LEGOlas!" "Yes?"
I love how they don't question me anymore when I call them strange ass nicknames MUAHAHAHAHHAH.
"Your goal! For this part of the test is simple"
I take my bottle of water out.
Sliiiiiide my feet back just for flair.
Grab it midair before it fall!
Slam it between my teeth, the cap at least, and with a twist I open it.
Cool right? Pushing a bit of water in the middle of the cloth, it quickly dissapear in my inventory when I'm done.
Then I do a backflip.
I land, and turn one time to face them, with my right hand I slam my fist on the cloth "HIT THE WET PART WITH YOUR BOW"
"wow" mousy is currently busy clapping her hands, understandable my movement was just, THAT, awesome.
As the work in progress legolas blink multiples time in confusion, I occupy myself by bowing down to my worshipping crowd of followers.
"thank you, thank you, ah, no, don't stop clapping just yet"
A crowd composed of....one person.
"And if it fly over?" I stop, Annie stop, I turn around and look at the dead goblin camp.
"Then Annie gonna go grab it"
"wait what, why me? I CLAPPED, I SWEAR I CLAPPED!"
"Don't worry about it, and just try your best" my words follow a thumb up at Jenna.
Lifting my hand I wave it toward mousy "she loves going up and down the watchtower and run to grab the arrows again and again everytime you fail in-" "I got it"
"GREAT! Then if you're ready"
I jump up straight and clap my hands one time before moving like the pink panther.
I move from my earlier spot, who was just in front the improvised target I built, to get behind legolas, mousy come with me and we stay behind Jenna, bow in hand, behind us the corridor that lead to the T intersection.
I grab an arrow and throw it at Jenna.
She miss the catch "ah" she go grab it from the ground "Sorry."
"Don't worry, take your time." Annie come to recomfort Jenna, and soon enough, she's ready, I wonder how many arrow she's gonna break by going above the watchtower, was this actually a good place to test shit out?
She put her arrow on the bow string. I don't think it was.
Pull it back. Yep, definetly wasn't.
And shoot. Looks like Annie gonna go dow...
What the fuck?
