Snippet #2238000

I’m Ryu, nice to meet you Fletcher... And Takashi will be around here somewhere... She's guarding another Pageling,” Fletcher nodded once. “Good to meet you too… ‘specially since you Probly just saved my skin.” He folded his emergency crossbow in half (it was, of course, made to do so,) and tucked it by his side as Ryu made his way toward the park.

His mind wandered a little bit as they walked through the park, now that most of the danger had passed. Watching some of the little children play on a playground he passed, he smiled softly. Fletcher always had had a soft spot in his heart for kids- they were so innocent, unknowing of everything evil in the world. How could they know, how could they understand that he was a Pageling, on the run from a Fallen? He laughed softly at their fun, yelling shouting at each other as they jumped about on the play set. It was always a joy when they came to his archery range. They- Suddenly he realized he had fallen behind a bit, and shook his head, coming back to reality and jogged to catch back up.

As they continued walking, Fletcher noticed Ryu becoming more stressed. Obviously they weren’t finding ‘Takashi’ where he thought she would be. He glanced around. Since he didn’t even know what she looked like, he couldn’t really be of much help, but it didn’t hurt to look.

"Alright. Lets go on a hiking trip shall we? What’s the worst that could happen? They find us in the trees and I have to whip out some serious skills, hu?" Fletcher, not exactly thinking it funny, nodded once, although he did grin. “Yeah, alright. Hey, I’m not exactly helpless either.” With a couple swift movements, he unfolded his bow, creating a paper arrow that looked quite deadly. Making sure that there were no people in the vicinity that he was going to shoot at, he aimed at a tree and let go within the span of a couple seconds.

Zip! Thud!

The arrow embedded itself in the tree, a leaf stuck on the arrow, perfectly cut through the center. Fletcher grinned and folded his bow again, retrieving the arrow and grinning a bit more. “I been practicing for a long time now. Well, what are we waiting for?”
