( closed ) operation: arrow appraisal

[warfed]

Who: Petra Macneary & Claude von Riegan
When: Early February
Where: The desert outside Cadens.
What: Claude is looking for some feedback from a fellow expert.
Warnings: None!

[While their various responsibilities have made finding a day to follow up on their arrow-oriented plans a touch difficult, an afternoon finally arrives where both Petra and Claude are available to dedicate the kind of time to this research that they'd like to. It goes without saying that shooting arrows just for shooting's sake will need to be done outside of the city, but they're both familiar with the desert and a number of the outposts by this point, and finding a place to test Claude's work is simple enough.

They end up halfway between Cadens' gate and the nearest outpost, where Petra now stands with her hands on her hips, chin up as she surveys their surroundings. They've remained near the road for the time being, but the area is clear of other people for as far as the eye can see at the moment, no merchants, travelers or hunters in sight.]

There!

[She smiles, pointing to a wooden post in the distance that marks the edge of the path.]

We can be using that post as a target for now. Or maybe a cactus? Something stationary, before we move on to live prey.

[They have to be methodical about this!]
