She grabbed his hands in her excitement and pulled him up. "Dance with me!"

"Ack!" He jolted forward from where he lay when she tugged at him. "Er... You go on ahead..." He chuckled a little. "I'm getting a little cold." He rubbed his bare chest with a hand and looked around for his jacket.

Catching sight of his discarded piece of clothing, he fit his arms in and zipped it up in the front. Grabbing his pouch, he hooked it back onto his leg.

Enelya spun around, wet hair flying in the sun, and the wet dress slapping against her thighs. She glanced over and saw the strange pouch she had never noticed before. She stopped dancing and skipping over to him. "What's in your pouch there? I never remember noticing it before." She looked at it curiously and examined it as he fastened it to his leg.

"What's in your pouch there? I never remember noticing it before."

"That's funny because every time I'm around you, I forget about it, too. It holds something else I've been trying to study. You know how my curses practically need physical contact? I wanted to study something a little more... long range." He flicked open the pouch, reached in, and grabbed a weighted acupuncture needle inbetween his index and middle, and his middle and ring, lifting them up so she could see. "Throwing weapons." He stuck one in his mouth like a toothpick, handing her the other to look at.

She gave him a small nod, and took the needle. She inspected it carefully. Careful not to poke her clumsy self. She raised her eyebrow and closed one eye, as if aiming, and drew her hand back, brought it back and opened her eye again. "I don't think I could aim to save my life. Are you any good at it?" She handed him back the needle and looked at her toes.

"I don't think I could aim to save my life. Are you any good at it?" She handed him back the needle and looked at her toes.

"Meh..." He took the needle back and shrugged. "I'm working on it. I still cant hit a bullseye from reasonable distances." He twirled it between his fingers, then grabbed the end of it between his thumb and index finger, throwing it at a small rock. It glanced off the side. "Tck..."

She glanced over at the needle, and picked it up for him, and handed it back. "All good skills come in time." Her eyes glittered with hope in the sunshine, and her hair was drying slowly from their swim. "You'll get better I'm sure of it!"

He smiled and muttered a thanks at both handing the needle to him and giving him encouragement. "I just need to practice more, is all. I found a chunk of dead wood that I cut into a circle. I use it like a dart board." His own hair was still rather wet, dripping down his back. He had been ignoring it completely.

She nodded her head, her face full of encouragement. "Practice is good... I had to help Archie catch flies when he was a baby lizard. His depth perception was horrible." She giggled, recalling her few childhood memories.

He laughed a little, "I can see it now... you getting down on all fours and chumping on flies."

He put the two needles back in his pouch. "I also keep a few in some of my zippers. The needles can fit one or two at a time, and it's good to have a couple back-ups incase it falls off in a fight, you know?"

She rolled her eyes, and shook her head. "Actually, I took two sticks, asked a spider, that if it wasn't too much trouble, to make me a web, she did, she had recently eaten her husband and was a bit on the sad side. So anyways, I ended up catching a couple of those, and made Archie practice on those." She winked, "Creative, right?"

"I also keep a few in some of my zippers. The needles can fit one or two at a time, and it's good to have a couple back-ups incase it falls off in a fight, you know?"

She laughed a little, "Well, wouldn't be any good to be a sharp shooter without any arrows."
