S'kef hadn't even thought about her injury. He was just worried about her general strength! The girl brought up a good point, though. Clearly the bow truly was the superior option in this case.
"That's good. It may be a bit much for you to pull back at first, but I guess that just means it will be good for you," he commented. "It's a good way to build up strength in your arms." He pushed his way through a last bit of brambles before emerging into a field. He'd used it for target practice and general venting before. He figured it would be as good a place as any to start the lessons.
"All right," the brownrider said as he set his weapons down. He pulled out his bow and nodded to Jada, who he assumed was doing the same. "So, you've never shot before, am I right?" He cut his eyes left and right, searching for a perfect target.
He pointed to a fat tree nestled in the treeline. It was round and fairly free of limbs, making it a good first target. He aligned himself beside Jada and lifted his bow, showing her the proper way to grip and pull an arrow into position.
"Give it a try and tell me how it feels," he said. "Don't let it go yet, though."
