Early Archery Practice[[open]] « Thread Started on Jul 11, 2007, 12:06am »
[[probley more or less open to only warrior guild members...]]
Morning dew still clung to the lively green grass as the sun attempted to peek above the treetops. It was already showing signs of a warm humid day, though well weathered as far as one could tell.
Pitch leather boots marched out towards the archery field, olive eyes gazing at the large circular straw bales, in a row ranging in depth. Painted near the middle of each were a rainbow of colors, all marking as a target.
Strung across the man's back was a long wooden long bow, along with a quiver, full of sharp arrows all made from the guild. Gerius had known for awhile now he had to practice up on his longbow skills, one of his only lesser known weapons. He hadn't a need for them really, he was more of a melee combat man himself... Though if he were to be teaching apprentices things, he'd better learn up on them.
Stepping up towards the archery line, his hands reached to grab the bow, hanging loosely from his back. He held it firmly in his hands, grasping the trigger, he pulled it back, reaching yet again behind his head he grabbed an arrow from the quiver and put it neatly in place along the strng.
Muddy green eyes aimed up the targets, picking one adjasent to his left, holding the bow back, he released the arrow, sending it shooting through the air. He his the blue ring around the center...not quite straight on, but with more practive it wouldn't take long for him to perfect it. He figured more people would be waking from the guild soon, perhaps even practicing out on the field aswell.

There was no resounding round of applause, no hoarse laugh out of admiration. The only spectator in sight didn't seem to be impressed at all, frosted blue eyes studying the air as if to recreate Gerius' shot again.
And again.
And again.
Her silence was a brooding one, in which anyone who looked would be hard-pressed to find a more exotic-looking woman. Her clothes were just as revealing as usually. Around her shoulders was settled a thin chemise, made of white linen that was noticeably dirty, above which dangled a silver chain around her neck, and below which was a shirt that mimicked a corset. From her easy breathing and the prominent rise and fall of her just as abundant bosom, it was only a mimic. Saule could breath just fine; even better than usual, since her collar plunged down to meet the area of flesh right above her breasts quite suddenly.
A belt held up a circle of simple brown cloth around her hips - not a skirt, which Saule never wore, but a pair of breeches that were overcome by her over-the-knee boots. There was a patch on the pants, but otherwise her clothes were certainly presentable enough for the occasion. In general, yes, they were still presentable...much more presentable, at least, than the sort of clothing Saule usually wore.
The Warriors' Guild, however, had some regulations that even Saule could not avoid. Other women disapproved of her show of her body, but Saule had always been seen with some modicum of disgust. The gist of her reasoning was, "You can't win them all."
The men that approved boosted her vanity, but Saule knew for a fact that the more respectable ones wouldn't come within five feet of her, much less look her in the eye or acknowledge her presence. (Their loss, really.)
Saule folded her arms, cradling her wrapped-up weaponry in the crook of her arm. Grass was crushed underfoot - green in some places, but yellow and dead in others - as she drew near. With an abrupt stop, the brothel owner's lips parted as she made a move to speak.
"That was a beautiful shot."
She meant it. After all, Saule couldn't use a longbow at all, although in her hands she did cling to a small lot of throwing knives (arrows weren't the only things one could use on the target field), and she was too far off from the target to notice that it hadn't really hit the exact center...only somewhere very, very close.

The man of decent staure receded in reverse, only a foot pace or so, just so in line with the current bountiful beaut to stand in his opposing direction. Respectful yet enticing green orbs stripped the women of her features. Though she couldn't help it, there he stood judging her with her eyes, though it was all in good nature...to a degree.
Why, with hips like those, he couldn't help but to take a second or two to devout his eyesight to her frame and even posture, though no more then a few short glances could take place before the conversation would run it's dry deserted path.
His belligerent mind held fevent commentaries of an ego any man would have to up keep. Even if this miniscule message had come from an unlikely source, he couldn't help but feed on it. Only glad the words related to his dexterity, not the less then perfect shot he would have imagined come from the mouth of another man he'd sovereigned over with the councilship of the guild;
No, ye this was a women. Unlikely it was to have such a species come into this guild, though they seemed to be multiplying. Questioning they're prowess, he let manifest in his mind.
Though talk about this seemingly defile lady was that of the citadel. Gerius refused to glance down on her from that demoralizing factor, as any good town needed a brothel. Imaged in his mind, really she was doing the men a favor. Though upon that favor it seemed the dogs had worked out a deal, hard to say who was more venerable.
'Paid to get pleasure? Wouldn't that be the life?'
"Ah, thank you gergeous." Even if the shot wasn't perfect, her timing almost was; though his comment wasn't sincere it yet held a amity of truths.
Hands, groped by stained leather gloves, departing off as he erradicated fingers to offer out a arrow and bow. Perhaps the early bird would like a shot, he wasn't that skilled, venerable in the council, though archery was a constant practice.
