[ Briskly, ]

I am leading a hunting party. One companion is ideal; I will take no more than three. Bring your own weapons and dress for the cold. We depart at sunrise, from the lodge at the foot of the mountains, and there will be trips every other day beginning tomorrow.

​[ Beat. ]

If you wish to come and learn, you are welcome, but if you cannot keep up, you will be left behind.

Comments

[tallasaking]

I understand. [He gives her a sober look.] But as you can see my friend, I am something of lacking of height to deal with swords or maces.

[sinuosity]

And not a handgun. Your point is valid. Let us find you a proper weapon, and a private range to practice.

[tallasaking]

[His lips twitch.] Not a crossbow. I have been often scolded about the inefficiency of crossbows ... although I do enjoy their shooting power.

[sinuosity]

[ She remembers what he used one for. ]

They have their uses, but would be troublesome to cart around. They are certainly not as intuitive as a longbow.

[tallasaking]

[He gave her a dry look, as he looked down to himself, then at her.]

... a shortbow might be more my size, do you not think?

[sinuosity]

[ She barks a laugh. ]

If you think so, who am I to contradict you?

[tallasaking]

Someone with a wicked sense of humor.

[Tyrion snorted softly.]

[sinuosity]

There is a woman at the other side of the lake whose craftsmanship is unrivalled. We can go together, if you wish, if not, tell her I sent you.

[tallasaking]

No, no, come with me. I might even buy you a glass of wine or some dinner. Besides, I like your company.

[sinuosity]

[ She suppresses a genuine smile. ]

Now, or tomorrow morning?

[tallasaking]

Well when are you free? Now or tomorrow morning?

[sinuosity]

Tomorrow would be better.

[tallasaking]

Then tomorrow, it shall be.
