For the first few seconds, she expected a scolding from the stores owner. She was rehearsing the fake man’s voice in her mind. ‘You don’t know what you’re talking about girl’, ‘Hey, hands off the merchandice!’ Slender fingertips grip the bow harshly, and already she felt the bow beginning to bend. Damned fool, if whoever was willing to buy this got their hands on it.. If they encountered grimm..
But it was not the words of a foolish shopkeep to break her concentration. No, instead the voice was much softer, more inquizative than that of arrogant annoyance. Azure hues blink in a small moment of confusion, Ren’s voice caught her off gaurd. No sooner had her face softened, her brow furrowed back into a clear scowl.
“....First off, the handle.”
“Or as its properly called, the handhold.”
The weapon flipped upwards to herself, causing the curved material to twist in her grasp. The sting now rests under her hand, with the back of the weapon facing her.
“from my palm, the outer edge of the gard is a mere knuckle length away, when it should be 3 inches away, or a full finger length away.” Left hand rose up, taking the tip of the weapon, her right hand released its hold. Her drop caused the long weapon to drop down and stand up straight. “Next, its back got treated as the belly. The curve of the wood used in forging the weapon needs to be followed, but it wasn’t. And thus...”
A swift flick of herhand, the bow now rests in her palm. One foot shifts back, her back straightened itself in one graceful movement. Shoulders aline, with her left thread her arrow against the string. Pulled upwards, the string began to tremble under the pressure. Fingers released, arrow flew past the other, struck deep into the wall of the shop.
Moment of release, the bow cracked, splintered into shards in her hold.
“.... The bow breaks in one shot.”
