The only folk who I have seen with greatbows are centaurs, and they are quite a bit taller than any other in Narnia.
But I should like to have one anyway, even if I cannot wield it in battle. I do not imagine Athos would be so keen to allow me in one without quite an argument, anyway.
The Frost Giants to the north often invade Narnia. Or try. And I have assisted in the defense of Archenland, our allies to the south, against Calormen.
Then it looks like taking you along to any bar fights is out of the question. Still, it sounds as though you're perfectly capable of defending yourself.
Maybe Athos should have a little more faith in that.
You know, I told d'Artagnan I'd learn how to fight with one if he could knock me down.
[ And so goes the very brief reason behind the friendly little fight out at the farm. ]
And one more moment. [ Now it sounds like... metal? Something scraping against metal? She's climbing back down off a rooftop, the ladder just happens to be one of those old fire escapes. Once she reaches the ground, she'll put the comm back up. ] Though that obviously did not work out the way he had planned.

Date: 2015-10-10 01:32 am (UTC)[ She scoffs at the very thought! Because she isn't, not anymore, technically not lying. ]
Why would you even think that? Surely I wouldn't take a phone call while being attacked.
[ She can. Can and did. ]

Date: 2015-10-10 01:34 am (UTC)[But that's more worry than scolding, really. Lucy would only scold if it was Athos.
Maybe d'Artagnan, too.]

Now, what about this greatbow? Are you even going to be able to shoot with it, if it's as tall as you are small?

[AND A SIGH, LIKE THIS IS HER LOT IN LIFE.]

Date: 2015-10-10 06:01 pm (UTC)[ But she's already so young! ]
Then I assume you've also taken a life before. In defense, of course.

Date: 2015-10-10 10:21 pm (UTC)Yes.
[She says it carefully.]
Only in battle, as I would like it to remain.

[Pause.]
Are you all right?

Date: 2015-10-11 02:31 am (UTC)[ She'll try not to sound too doubtful. It's true, she hasn't seen him fight outside of the brawl with a soldier. ]
Me? All right? Why, of course. Why wouldn't I be?

Date: 2015-10-11 02:34 am (UTC)[But yes, Lucy will have to really work hard to do that.]
audio;
Date: 2015-10-11 02:40 am (UTC)[ A BIT. ]
Has anyone taught you how to throw a good left hook yet at all? Because swords and arrows are fine, but not really feasible for the everyday.

So when did you want to go look at this greatbow?
