set up the wide, thick board against the tree and laid out her favorite set of throwing knives. This was her favorite time of day to relax.
Warming up with a few practice throws, she studied where they landed on the board. Dead center.
Shook out her shoulders to loosen them up, then picked up three knives, throwing them rapidly one after the other, watching them all stick
into the board side by side.
noticed a bug landing on the board. The next moment, it was impaled to the board, wriggling helplessly.
Turkey
was
watching her... amazed... and... mildly terrified.
used her last knife on the bug, she walked up to the board and pried each blade out, checking them over for any nicks.
carried the knives back to the spot where she threw, laying out the blades carefully. She picked up three in one hand and threw them
rapidly one after the other. She smiled at the pretty fan pattern they made when they stuck into the board.
felt prying eyes watching her. Her eyes narrowed as she picked up another blade, then turned swiftly and threw it in the direction she felt
the eyes watching her.
Turkey
was
just damn glad he was still good at fighting.... and dodging. He managed to avoid the knife and quickly stepped out of the bushes he was_
hiding in. "Whoa there... It's just me..."
blinked at Sadiq when he came out of the bushes. "Oh." she replied, turning to walk up to the board to get the knives stuck there.
frowned a bit at the response... or lack there of one. He sighed softly and turned to get the blade she'd thrown at him. "Just an oh..."
retrieved the knives in the board, then returned to her spot. She frowned at Sadiq and walked up to him, holding out her hand for the_
knife. "Sorry." She added. Looking up at him.
raised a curious brow at her as he put the knife in her hand. "Hm... How's you're brother doing? I haven't seen him in a while."
"Mmm," she answered, taking the knife he handed her "Dziakuj, I don't know. I haven't seen him lately either."
went back and began throwing the knives again, sometimes one at a time, trying to get them very close together, at other times two or three_
at once, making different patterns with them on the board.
decided after a few more sets of throws to put her knives away and find something else to do.
wandered through a field, picking flowers and braiding them together.
