I uh... I might need to take a rain check. Or drink a lot. And I'm going on a mission tomorrow.

-Clint

[fleurdesel]

Do you want to talk about it?

-A

[Written, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

Honestly? I'd rather run away for a month and hope things fix themselves. Not the best coping mechanism though.

[Written, February 18th]

[fleurdesel]

Repress and Ignore. That doesn't work at all, Clint. I can tell you that easily. And it's an even worse habit to attempt to break. I've known Jedi for the better part of a year now and I still have my moments.

[asthehawkflies]

It would make me feel better for a while. I'm off balance right now. I need to clear my head.

-Clint

[fleurdesel]

Care to swap out drinks for a date at the firing range? It always helped me when I had something I wished to ignore and needed to do something.

-A

[Written, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

Sure. That works. I don't- I don't think getting drunk would be a good idea for me right now. And that's what's gonna happen if we go for drinks.

-Clint

[fleurdesel]

I never said the drinks had to be alcoholic. I could introduce you to the many types of tea available in the village- but I think that'd bore you.

-A

[Written, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

I'm not really a huge fan of tea, no. Shooting is fine. I could stand to let off some steam.

-Clint

[Written, February 18th]

[fleurdesel]

I'll meet you in the battle dome, then. Sooner rather than later.

-A

[Written, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

Sounds good. I'll head up soon as I've changed.

-Clint

[Written/Action, February 18th]

[fleurdesel]

I'll be waiting.

-A

[She took the time to change into something that allowed movement and headed to the Battle Dome early to set up for a range simulator. Something open to the air with a bit of wind for the sake of variables. Until Clint arrives she's working with an odd choice of projectiles. Playing cards.]

[Written/Action, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

[He's quick to arrive, dressed in nondescript training gear, his bow and quiver slung over his back. He enters the room and just watches for a moment as she throws the cards.]

As with a lot of things in life, that's all about the wrist action.

[Action, February 18th]

[fleurdesel]

[She finishes the last throw with a shrug, shaking out her hand before turning to face him.]

Most things in life, I should think.

[Action, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

[He manages a smile and nods.]

Probably.

Hey, Adele. How did your vacation treat you?

[Action, February 18th]

[fleurdesel]

Well. It was quiet, restful, and fairly cold. I do not think I am quite cut out for camping.

[She offers a light smile and extends her arm to him.]

You yet live. Already it's better than I feared.

[Action, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

It's not for everyone. At least you missed the crazy.

[He takes her arm when it's offered and here at least is someone he can count on to be the same right now.]

I do live. I managed not to get stabbed, shot or otherwise injured too.

[Action, February 18th]

[fleurdesel]

All but the last of it. Ben and I returned home on the seventeenth, just in time for the spa.

[And that had turned out so well for them.]

For that I'm glad. And somewhat proud.

[Action, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

Right. The spa.

[He's glad that he doesn't blush easily.]

It's a sad day when you have to be proud of me not getting physically injured.

[Action, February 18th]

[fleurdesel]

I was gone for a week. Anything might have happened.

[Action, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

Considering everything that's happened since I got here, that's actually a fair point.

[Action, February 18th]

[fleurdesel]

Of course it is. I am, on occasion, right about something.

[She walks to the console to plug in and program a new set of targets. Bodies, dishes, a string of bottles and light bulbs that will explode with a satisfying crackle of glass and gas when shot.]

Arrows or bullets, Aigle?

[Action, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

[That at least makes him laugh a little.]

Arrows. I need to feel in control of something today.

[Action, February 18th]

[fleurdesel]

...A shift is a shift. You can't hold yourself accountable for it.

[And for now that's all she says on the matter, focusing instead on plugging in the commands to offer a multitude of arrows for their use. She programs in a bow for herself as she doesn't have one proper before returning to the table and offering Clint the first shot. Volley. Whichever.]

[Action, February 18th]

[asthehawkflies]

That's what people said about what Loki did to me. Didn't believe it then. Don't believe it now.

[Not when he's still confused over the effects, over what he even feels. But for now, shooting might help him keep his calm. He goes over to choose an arrow, just a standard one for now, razor sharp. He takes aim at a long mirror, his own reflection showing back, and fires. The mirror splinters, spidery cracks forming across the surface.]
