be curious, not judgmental

This was the COOLEST ACTIVITY EVER. Soph didn't even CARE anymore why they were doing this. It didn't matter how they talked Thereos into teaching this lesson nor what the reason even was for him being talked into it, but it was just cool to experience this in general. Archery was the BEST. Why didn't they have an archery club or anything? That would've been just as cool of a sport as Gobstones and was safer than Quidditch, probably. She wasn't sure she always wanted to be a centaur while doing it, but it totally set the mood, didn't it? Made her feel empowered, like she was BORN TO BE AN ARCHER.

Fueled by this thought and adrenaline coursing through her veins, Soph got her next arrow ready, beaming all the while triumphantly from her last bullseye, and got her arrow lined up and pulled back as she galloped around and toward the next target, squinting an eye closed again in concentration to aim her shot with precision--

But one of her front hooves gave out as she stumbled over a rock, causing her aim to fall downward, and the arrow ended up shooting into the ground below, sticking up and causing her to stumble over THAT as she tried to trot around it to no avail.

SHE WAS A TRAINWRECK. AND MISSED COMPLETELY.

...They REALLY weren't going to destroy her bow, right? Now that she had no chance at four? THEY WEREN'T GOING TO TAKE IT FROM HER, WERE THEY?
