[His eyebrow quirks a bit at the question.] Shooting? You mean with a bow and arrow?

[Secretly questioning if he has the upper body strength or that.]

[myownhand]

Yes, of course.

[Snrrt.]

Come on, anyone can do it. Just takes a bit of practice.

[....]

Easier than bein' a bear.

[snowymischief]

... if you've got the patience to teach me, I don't see why not. Who knows, maybe I can make ice arrows if I get good enough.

[myownhand]

Not good enough to best me.

[/egooooo]

[snowymischief]

I don't think I could ever best you in shooting. [HE WILL NOT DENY THIS.]

[myownhand]

'Least you're smart enough t'know that.

[Hair ruffle.]

[snowymischief]

[dkgbdjg why do you always ruffle his hair!!!.] Just like you're not good enough to beat me in a snowball fight.

[myownhand]

You've had a distinct advantage of bein' gifted with that ability. I've had t'practice my whole life.

[snowymischief]

Hey, hey. I'll have you know I had to practice myself to get good at all of this, too. I was... technically reborn with these gifts, but that doesn't mean I was good with them.

[myownhand]

Really? Tell me about it.

[ಠuಠ]

[snowymischief]

[Fine. He'll let you embarrass him.] First time I went flying? I fell through a tree.

[PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA]

[myownhand]

R--[WHEEZE] -- Really!?

[snowymischief]

[Even Jack has to smile at this point.] Yeah! You think I knew I could control the wind? It happened on complete accident! I floated for like five seconds, and then I fell.

[myownhand]

[Snnnnnnnrt]

If it makes y'feel any better, I can't count th'times I've almost shot someones' eye out.

[THERE WERE A LOT OF ANGRY SCOTS AROUND THE CASTLE WHILE MER WAS GROWING UP]

[snowymischief]

[Jack tries to hide his laughs behind his hand, but kinda... fails.] Man, I wish I could've seen that. Your mom must've been so mad.

[myownhand]

I got grounded a lot, yes. [Ahahaaaaaa] But my dad always snuck my bow back to me.

[Always spoiled her.]

[snowymischief]

Honestly, I think that's hilarious. [... whoa, your dad?] He kinda scares me, but he sounds awesome.

[myownhand]

Dad's not scary at all. Not unless you're a bear.

[COME ON. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?]

You'd probably like him.

[If he could see you Or ever admit to seeing you]

[snowymischief]

I probably would, if I got to know him. But the chances of that are unlikely since, well... he probably won't see me.

1/2

[myownhand]

[A quiet pause to consider that and then she tugs him forward by the hood.]

I'll make him see you.


[And she honestly means that.]

[myownhand]

Y'may just have t'throw a snowball or two.

[snowymischief]

[He can only stare at Merida in silence for a while before smiling softly at her. This is one of the reasons she's one of his best friends.] Thanks, Merida. That means a lot.

2/2 OOPS

[snowymischief]

[He looks down and glances around for a second or two before leaning over to give her a quick peck on the cheek. That's a thank you for that. There's a slight cough after that, and he tries to, you know, maintain composure.] Snowballs? I can do that. Maybe make it snow in the castle.
