you needed a certain sense of calmness if you wanted to fire an arrow straight — though you could also curve arrows as much as that seemed to be unrealistic — he supposed it was the same for gun, especially a sniper.

his stance was mostly impractical, unless a hand was busy (which could happen in supply runs) and he was missing or took off a shoe. and you don't usually want to go around in a post apocalyptic wasteland (not actually a wasteland) barefoot. a hand gripping on the bar mounted below the ceiling, supporting his weight with a pull-up, while a foot was holding his bow. with the arrow already nocked, his other hand had taken to pulling the string back, drawing the bow, eye tracing a line to his target... before he felt eyes on him again.

he turned. ah. the damsel as he'd taken to calling him, though not in english of course, and not the literal translation either. josif wasn't how well he'd actually take it. the ex-royal had taken to enjoying the man's company, however gruff and anti-social the other had been. it was interesting trying to understand him. like elijah was something to be pried into, dissected; a puzzle to work on, a diplomatic hurdle to overcome. not that josif himself had revealed too much about himself to the other either.

while elijah had eyes averted, the noble kept his eyes on the man leaning against the window. it wasn't the first time josif caught the other's eyes lingering while he was training. so maybe he was showing off a little. it might have looked effortless, the ease of which he'd been able to shoot arrows with a bow but he was under no impression that there were certainly more skilled members in the group. actual military men who'd seen real war. like elijah.

he'd been at it for a while and had been sweating to some degree. sweater and t-shirt long since discarded — no point sullying it and necessitating a wash. water was a precious commodity.

he made a noncommittal noise. perhaps to get the man's attention again, if he was so keen on trying to look without looking.

he let the wooden shaft fly.

it landed squarely on the target. he didn't have to turn back to it to know but he did anyway. he was slightly pleased with himself, though the outcome was expected. he'd been using a bow since he was a kid. to think it would have an actual use in real life apart from just a hobby. satisfied, he held his bow with his hand again and jumped off the bar he was attached to, landing gracefully onto the wooden floor.

closed  starter  for:  @royalstranded location:  6th  floor  -  newsroom

the  one  good  thing  about  being  holed  up  in  a  way-too  big  building  was  …  space.  admittedly,  they  didn’t  often  use  it  &  there  were  several  floors  above  &  below  them  that  still  needed  clearing  to  be  entirely  safe  here,  but  when  ammo  was  limited  &  lives  were  on  the  line…  progress  was  slow.  but  they  were  thorough  &  every  cleared  floor  brought  perks  with  it.  one  thing  they  didn’t  have  yet,  but  surely  would  need  sooner  or  later  was  a  practice  area.  there  was  no  getting  around  fighting  here  &  while  guns  were  rare  everybody  had  to  know  how  to  use  them  if  needed.

right  now  they  spent  most  of  their  time  on  the  sixths  floor.  it  was  safest  staying  together  &  the  newsroom  was  huge,  so  they  had  a  little  makeshift  practice  area  set  up  on  one  end  of  it.  a  few  targets;  some  made  of  wood,  some  of  plastic  —  some  …  were  plushies  on  ropes.  elijah  knew  that  he  was  playing  a  dangerous  game;  ammo  was  scarce  &  he  couldn’t  take  down  biters  frequently  with  a  knife.  he  also  knew  that  there  was  one  very  simple  (but  not  easy)  way  of  trying  to  fix  his  problem.  was  he  willing  to  do  it,  though?  status  …  unclear.

he’d  been  sat  with  his  back  against  one  of  the  tall,  covered  windows  close  by,  his  rifle  set  down  next  to  him  to  clean  &  take  inventory  of  the  bullet  left  in  the  clip,  but  even  when  he  was  done…  he  remained.  someone  was  practicing  &  like  ..once  or  maybe  twice  before  (or  a  few  times  more  than  that),  elijah  found  himself  mesmerized.  again.

there  was  a  calm  to  josif's  movements,  a  peace  -  it  seemed,  elijah  only  rarely  felt.  his  blood  always  thrumming  in  impatience,  with  urges  &  needs  the  group  couldn't  know  about.  nobody  could.  arms  hastily  crossed  in  front  of  his  chest  when  caught,  eyes  averted  the  other's  -  annoyed  he  let  it  come  this  far.  little  grunt,  little  grumble.  keep  movin',  don't  look.  the  archer  had  been  with  them  for  a  long  while  &  he'd  dare  call  them  friends,  but  …  that  didn't  mean  anything.  right?  ….right.
