“Thankfully it’s my aim with my bow that could use some work, my sword doesn’t cut through anything I don’t want it to. But a sword isn’t usually the weapon of an… assassin, is it?” He shook his head, still having trouble identifying himself as an assassin. “I’m not sure I’m the kind that’s wiling to fight my way for a job. I think I can wait my turn until something comes around that suits me. I would hate to cause any trouble for any of my…. for any of the others here.” He still could not call them family.
Aloys laughed–but not unkindly–at her expression. “It’s not worth being ashamed of, we all live our lives with wild dreams. At least yours was to do some good for the world. Magic is a very alluring thing, particularly to those of us without the aptitude for it.” Chuckling, he grouped himself with her in being particularly bad at magic. While he had learned a thing or two from the Jarl’s wizard, none of his spells had ever worked properly. Her suggestion made the smile brought about by his fond memories waver, but he tried his best not to look shaken. “Perhaps. Restlessness seems to be a common theme around here.”
“Ah, well I shall keep a weary eye on you at all times then. I’m not overly fond of arrows in my side, and I hate to be caught unaware,” archery suited Cosette well. Unfortunately, her aim left much to be desired. She couldn’t place why but her hands seemed to grow uneasy with a bow in them, she’d initially chalked it up to using the wrong sized bow but that hadn’t proven to be the problem. “Ah well I’m glad that we don’t have to be in competition at least. You seem a decent fellow, I’m sure a pleasant job will pop up eventually-- whatever passes for pleasant here,”.
Cosette found the daydreams of children rather tiresome. Should she be able to return to the past she would have smacked her younger self and told her to simply wait. Try not to be in a rush to be anything. Life would sort out the specifics for her, couldn’t she just have been content being a child? No, that’s not how children worked was it. “Yes... magic can be very alluring but it ought to be treated with caution if its’ to be treated at all,” she said flatly. Cosette did not possess a sense of humor when it came to magic. “Yes, and restless people are often the most dangerous,”.
