Prayer #43 with Keith:

They say that nora are like stray animals - cats, dogs, monkeys, etc. I'm going away for a few days and I don't know if these poor stray cats will get fed while I'm gone. I'd feel better knowing someone was watching over them...

[He hadn't recalled seeing Yona specifically wield a bow in any of his memories, but now that he thought back to them, he realized she did have a bow on her person in the latter moment with Hak. So he'd... become something she actually recognized? How did that even happen...]

'I... shouldn't ask how good you think you are.'

[That part he can feel deep in his gut, that part of him that never wants to feel that level of blight again.]

'So maybe if you just shoot a couple of practice arrows so I can see it for myself, that will make things easier.'

[ 'On me' he wants to add, but he's struggling to stay focused. Don't think about what might be. Don't think about her being skilled or even unskilled, just let her shoot a couple of times and prove it to him. She had a bow before. That's all he has to think about.]

[ She gives a quiet laugh at that, warm fondness in her tone. ]

Yoon. You can ask anything you like. Always. Consider this blanket permission to inquire about anything you might be wondering about. But we can practice a little, to see how this goes. And to give you a chance to get used to this. Here, I have targets set up just past the edge of the orchard here.

[ And she heads in that direction, still carefully clutching him and mentally exploring what this new connection with him feels like. ]

Is it... weird? Becoming a vessel?

[handsome_genius]

[He mentally shakes his head, projecting nervousness and a lot of it.]

'No I can't, Yona! I can't ask things because it might be about my past life with you and you know what happens if I hear something I'm not supposed to!'

[For his part, he'll likely never forget it.]

'It's less weird becoming a vessel now, though. Becoming several things is weirder - like I suddenly grew another hand and foot and got taller, so now there's just more of me to feel what's going on. That's definitely why practice would be a good idea.

[darkestbefore]

[ She picks up on that nervousness - bordering on outright fear, from the feel of it, actually - and her grip tightens on the bow for a moment. ]

Yoon. You can still ask. If it is something that is dangerous for you to hear, I don't have to answer. Or I can find a way to phrase it that it won't be a danger for you to hear. The question itself isn't harmful, and we will just be very careful of the answers we share, alright?

But we can still practice a bit. To be honest, I could probably use it anyway. Here, this is where I usually train with my archery. Shall we try?
