[metamorphiseme]

That. [nods to the wild]

[bowplucker]

Oh.

[ looks out ]

... Yeah. It's really nothing like a normal forest.

[metamorphiseme]

Did you learn to shoot that in a forest or at a school?

[bowplucker]

Hm? Neither. I was taught at home. It'd be silly to lose arrows learning in a forest.

Are there really schools for shooting?

[metamorphiseme]

At home?

Yes, although there are different types. Where I'm from, most learn from schools. The most common form is kyudo, which is considered an art form.

[bowplucker]

Yeah, from my parents.

Oh, are there a lot? Er, schools too, but the forms, I meant. I've only learned two.

[metamorphiseme]

Do you use it for hunting primarily?

Many types just as there are many bows. I took a brief course at the University, but I'm not very good.

[bowplucker]

Yeah, I do now, of course.

Oh, I see! Like Cayden!

[metamorphiseme]

In my world, it is more primarily a hobby.

[blinks] I did not know he was a student as well.

[bowplucker]

He was, yeah. I'm not sure why, but it's pretty convenient for me, since it means I don't have to teach him from scratch.

[metamorphiseme]

Are you giving lessons now?

[bowplucker]

It's in return for lodgings. Why, did you also want to learn?

[metamorphiseme]

I don't have a bow.

[bowplucker]

Well, he didn't either, I made one for him. That said, though, I'm not sure I'm the best teacher anyway, so...
