 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Fergersnout’s remark brought a chuckle out of Ary. “I’m all set,’’ came his assurance. It was clear to Ary shortly after arriving that he wasn’t the only one who didn’t feel up to getting all decked out for today’s activity. Emma too, turned up in ordinary clothing. Her greeting was returned in the form of a smile. As did Professor Adara. Ary did so like it when the professors joined in on the activities; sometimes it was amusing to watch them struggle at something. It reminded him that no one had to be skillful at everything. A finger wiggle-wave was given to the older girl, Rowan, whose bounciness reminded him of Bryony. Ary then became aware of another presence, one beside him. Looking up, he saw it was none other than Vera. He gave her a poke in the arm just because.
It was true he didn’t need to participate but Ary wanted to, not just because Fergersnout had taken her time to put together the activity but because he had a shrewd feeling that archery would be something he enjoyed. The question was acknowledged with a head shake. Nope, he had never held a bow and arrow, much less use them together to shoot. |
