ATTENTION ALL ARCHERS!
(/-_・)/D・・・・・------ → (;゜o゜)

This Sunday, the Archery Group will be meeting at the Barracks! So if you happen to use any weapons that contain the letters B, O, W - in that order, then head on down for a little well deserved practise with other archers! Hey, with this talk of a war coming up you'd be pretty stupid to let yourself get rusty! Or maybe if you're just interested in learning how to use a bow, you can come along and we'll show you the basics! It's a great chance to learn some new techniques from other archers. ~~Well except me, I don't feel like sharing.~~

We're also open to anyone who wishes to spar against a bow user. Those flying arrows can be a right pain when you don't know how to deal with them! So I'm sure if you wanted to try beat one of us up ~~good luck with that~~ then you can come along as well. Or you can come along to laugh at the silly bow users, I don't really care it's not my responsibility. But on the plus side refreshments and stuff will be provided.

You can direct any questions to the 'President' of the group Rebecca. She was too lazy to do this herself so instead you have to put up with me. Though I suppose I could answer some questions too, but you'd much rather talk to a pretty young lady than a dirty old man right?

[A few moments later he scribbles something else onto the page.]

Also I'm bored, give me something to do that won't get me killed.

Some people get caught up in temple, or their bedcovers, or revenge, and never let themselves experience their lives again.

Me, I became a mercenary.

So ya lost someone you loved, and that made you become a mercenary then?

Well, more like my parents were murdered and I had to flee the country. The mercenary bit was just my way of looking to get myself killed.

That's a little more information than I needed ta know. What could ya possibly get outta tellin' me these things?

What do I have to lose?

More like, what difference will it make?

Oh, I get it. Jealously guarding the secrets of your own past? Uncomfortable that I might not do the same?

Haha no jealously here at all. I'm just wonderin' why you're tellin' me about yourself, it's not as if you know anything about me.

It's something that tends to happen over the course of talking. And I know some things.

Oh do enlighten me, I don't tend ta talk about myself.

Let's see. You're not married, but you like women. You fight with a bow, but that's not the only weapon you're proficient with.

Your world has guilds and an empire. You're a guildsman of sorts, which implies a certain ideological stance, or perhaps just a desire for freedom from orders and hierarchy. Given that you're interested in the relationship between an officer and his soldiers, I'd probably put it down to a mix of both. You weren't always like this, though— something a ways in your past must have turned you sly. If I had to guess, I'd peg it right around the time that friend of yours died, but that's only because that's how the narrative tends to go. I'd also venture that was about when you started calling yourself Raven, instead of whatever your "real" name is.

But I haven't done much research into it. If I absolutely needed to know more, I'd probably ask Karol.

As long as your busy occupying yerself with my history instead of who I am that's all fine with me.

Though Karol wouldn't be the best source of information ta go to for that.

Oh, no, I'm sure that Alexei knows much, much more. But it would be a lot harder to get that knowledge out of him, I figure.

Haha, depends on how much of what I've told you that you actually believe, seems like most of that was assumptions based on what I've said.

Feel free to poke Alexei, can't promise ya that venture would end well.

No, I don't think it would. Really, though, you're hardly someone I'd go out of my way to get intel on. Especially here.

No, correction. I'm hardly someone worth gathering intel on.

That too. But it's impolite to phrase it like that.

Oh nice ta know you put manners above feelings.

Manners are generally created to spare feelings. It usually takes someone of very high birth to turn them against that purpose.

Then you fit the whole "high birth" thing pretty well.

Maybe. It depends on if you believe everything I tell you.

Now yer just copyin' my line.

I know! And it's impolite of me to steal.

[Raven turns the filter off, it's not needed any more.]

Sarcasm ain't polite either.

And what does that say about me?
