[Waver's general posture is not bad. His back is too stiff and he has definitely too much tension in his shoulders...

Not that Iskandar doesn't know where that tension is coming from. That he has no immediate solution to alleviate that tension is a torture of its own. Like a rat gnawing at his mind. Incessant. Untiring. A sinking feeling.

Back to archery.

There's one thing he can correct in Waver's stance. A small thing. Beginners mistake. Everybody does it. He can't say how many time he got bruises on both of his forearms for doing exactly this when he was learning. Yet he is grateful for this chance. Here is something tangible he can do.]


Your bow hand is too straight. You'll get hit by the bowstring if you keep it as it is. Bend your elbow a little more.

[Iskandar doesn't wait for Waver to correct himself but gently guides him until his position is right.]

Now you can try.
