when she was just a girl

[persequor]

Wʜᴏ: Arya and you
Wʜᴀᴛ: Exploring
Wʜᴇɴ: Today
Wʜᴇʀᴇ: Everywhere a curious kid can get into. You can set up the scene, just let me know where we're at!


[ Had it been anyone else but her mother explaining where they were and what to expect here, Arya would not have believed them. The concept was hard to understand much less swallow. But if there is someone in the world she still trusts wholeheartedly it is her mother. She would not lie to Arya. Not about something like this.

Thus after she found a moment to wander away from Catelyn, she decided to explore the castle, Needle at her side. If she was to be here for a while, she needs to know what can be found. She had always enjoyed discovering new places, talking to new people. Maybe a day to tire herself out was all she needed to sleep through the night again. ]

[ Arya takes notice of her. Or rather of he bow and quiver. Interest piqued, she closes the distance between them. When she's close, she stops and points at the weapon. ]

Is it yours?

[It's when the distance is closed and someone is speaking to her that she finally turns her attention in that direction. As she takes in the details, she notices that the girl standing beside her is definitely no older than Rue. Maybe reminds her a little of Rue, in some way.

In any case, it's enough of a reminder to make her regard the girl with the smallest of smiles.]

It might as well be.

[persequor]

So you found it?

[ She glances at it with a critical eye. ]

It looks well-made. What range does it get?

[accidentalrebellion]

[Scratch that. With a comment like that, maybe she's starting to remind Katniss more of herself when she was younger. It's a weird thought, and does take her aback for about half a second.

But if any conversation is easy enough to get into the flow of, it's about something like this. As if to emphasize that she's pondering the question, she removes the bow from its position over her shoulder and takes it into her hands for closer examination.]

Decent, I guess. [... Because nothing will ever be as good as the one she had to leave behind.]

I went hunting earlier today. I got to use a crossbow. But I've always preferred the bow. Do you hunt much?
