breath in and pull the trigger

She was right, though not on the point. He was bigger than her, but not as tall as she expected. Either her estimations were wrong or her mind pulled him out of proportions to prepare for the worse, which was actually not all that bad. It was hard to remember that she was older than him, and tried her best to appear calm, collected, like an older canine would do. Hands slowly receded from her mane, and her mouth formed a gentle smile at the boy’s friendly demeanor. Yes, he had a beastly appearance, but his yellow eyes weren’t like a monster’s—at least, they weren’t like Marcel’s—and once she realized this, she did not feel quite as nervous. She was actually able to meet his gaze without feeling the urge to look away, which made her absolutely happy that she was able to do so, though it did not show upon her face.

“Yes,” she simply replied, and grabbed a bow to show her preparedness. She was ready to pick up the second bow she gathered, but noticed that Max had one of his own, so left it be in case someone else came to do some solo training or whatever the case may be. She inspected the bow: it was simply a stick curved into an arc, with a string attached, or at least that’s how Sparrow viewed it. “It looks easy,” she remarked, but then she furrowed at her words as she looked back upon the bow. “…Do you hold it by the string?”

She wanted to take her words back. Already, the thing’s simple anatomy confused her, not knowing where to hold it, much less how she was supposed to shoot other sticks with it, and held it with both hands for the time being. It was as if she was learning how to make traps again; it was a whole new insight, a world really, that she was not born in but was pushed into it away. But, she was not alone this time, and looked towards Max with a meek look upon her face, clearly showing that she needed his assistance upon the manner.
