[Ferran has had some thoughts about the fallout of the Circle's experiments, and how he wouldn't have been able to do much to help that night even if he hadn't been occupied with something else. He's lucky that neither of his bonds were hurt in any lasting way, but... what about the next time danger shows up? Is he just supposed to cower at home and wait because fairies are a fragile species, especially against the Cwyld? It doesn't feel right to him.]

I'm looking for some suggestions on learning to fight. Long-range, if at all possible. I can't use magic, and none of the powers I have access to can be used offensively.

[He'll get some ideas on that later, but it's not really a weapon, per se.]

I was thinking about archery, but I don't know how easy it would be to pull a bow out in an emergency or anything. Do they have collapsible bows here? [Better not ramble too much on his thoughts, though.]

I'm basically a beginner with any kind of weapon, but I'm willing to put in the work. If anyone has ideas or can point me to somewhere I can learn, I'd appreciate it.

[Well Ferran, nothing wrong with being an Ideas Guy and finding someone else to do the hands-on part!]

That does sound like her.

[She smiles fondly; Rikku has been quick to poke and prod at whatever she can get her hands on in this place, always interested in how things work. She imagines that gives both her and Ferran a great deal to talk about. Though Karin had been guarded and concerned regarding Rikku's seeking out a bondmate through the watch network, those days are long past; obviously, she quite likes Ferran herself.]

Maybe a joint project is in order.

[His boyish charms have won over yet another person. Even now, he is too powerful.]

Maybe so. It wouldn't hurt to bring it up, anyway.

[Ferran is always up for new distractions, and Karin would make the perfect tester, too. It would be fun to work on something together...]
