Kassvin hits the target square in the middle nearly every time. The bow is not an extension of him but an entity on it's own. They aren't two halves of a whole, becoming complete when united. They're perfectly fine separate, but together they're strong, they rely on each other in a delicate dance to do something they wouldn't be able to alone.
The bare wood is alive, it welcomes the practiced hands of the expert marksman as he masterfully handles the weapon.

The wood springs back as the blavian lets it go, Kass sees the beauty in this simple motion. The arrow hits the target with a satisfying 'thud'.

That 'thud' noise is like a drug to him, it's like a reward. He's at peace.

"That's Valkyons shirt." Someone is interrupting his zen. It's that tree girl.

"Good morning to you too." Kassvin nocks another arrow. "Great observation, it IS his shirt."

"Where did you get it from?"

"His closet." Kassvin hit bullseye, then relaxed, he got himself out of 'the zone' he always finds himself soon as he touches a bow.

"Listen, this might sound like I'm just being mean, but the training grounds are for guard members, just because you're Valkyons boyfriend doesn't mean you're not trespassing. What if you accidentally get hurt? You're a civilian, you shouldn't even be in HQ this much anyways!"

"He's not my boyfriend." Oh shit Valkyons here.

"Yet!" Yelled Kassvin. Valkyon seemed slightly bemused so you know he's absolutely had enough of this day already.

"He's suffering from amnesia, I think it helps him to practice a skill he hadn't lost." The tree is smitten. "Besides, it's nearly impossible to get hurt while shooting arrows, he'll be fine."

"Hekk yeah! Tell her!!"

"Kass, you're not helping..."He sighed. "Either way, he won't be in the HQ this much anymore, we found him a place."

"I didn't mean to offend anyone.." She tried to apologize to her friend.

"You didn't. Kass, come with!" He turned around and walked away, Kassvin nearly jogging just to keep up with his mile long strides. "Good news, you don't have to sleep in the infirmary anymore."

"Neat! Bye tree girl!" They left the training grounds side by side.

"I'll show you where the house is, then I'll leave for a mission out in the forest." Now that Kass actually looks at him, he's armed to the teeth, wearing a very badass looking heavy armour set.

"Oh so we should hurry."

"No, I got ready earlier, we can take our time." Then why are you walking so fast for??

"What are you doing there?"

"I can't tell you, top secret." The catchlight from his chest plate nearly blinds Kassvin as they round a corner. "The house is not in a good shape, but we can't have a healthy person in a hospital bed."

"I'm pretty sure the doctors are sick of my joke's too." Valkyon stopped in front of a two story witch hut with a haphazardly patched roof and a barred window. Kassvin had no words. "I know, I think it's unliveable too, we're out of options."

"Yeah.." Val gave him a reassuring smile. "Are you seriously leaving with full body armour but leave your hair like that??" He pointed at the lose silky locks.

"I-Uhhhhh.. Pardon my laziness, I'll turn myself in to the fashion police right this instant!" He grinned, Putting his gloved hands around Kass's smaller one.

"Come here." He pulled the massive man down by the edge of his chest plate so he could braid his hair. The ribbons from yesterday are gone -probably fell off in bed, he sleeps like a dog- so he gave the warrior his one and only grey scrunchie. "There you go, now you literally and figuratively slay."
