The assassin nods, facial expression bland.
"Good. I would like to see you here, practicing this daily, until you are a decently sharp shot."
Picking up a bow nearby, she strung it with ease and cast four arrows point-down, into the sand beside her. A fifth she readied, aimed at a target--this one further off, for a greater challenge, but still well within the bow's range--and let loose. The 'fwitt!' of arrows was swift, and within seconds there was a thick cluster of five arrows at the center of this target. One had not yet touched the target before another one followed it, with a third ready on her bow--it was with the ease of long, long practice that she shot in such a manner.
"Tell me now. Why would archery, of all things, and good skill in archery, be an aide to an assassin?"
