                                        -She then stands erect and exits the woods...-

This leads out into the country side... Farmers, homes and a few of the kingdoms civil-services can be seen surrounding the area... Lora calmly walks and watches people work and enjoy themselves... "I just thought... Wit will need a weapon, too... He can't fight with his tail and claws if he's pretending to be human..." she thought... she then notices a familiar face... "It's Frieda..." Lora thought...

"Frieda Roze stands at 5'6ft-170.70 and has a slim-frame. Her maroon hair's silky and curled, causing her bangs to curl over her right eye almost completely. Her uniform is similar to a British-military tunic except for it's brown color and lack of buttons. Her boots, quiver and hunting-cap finishes off this look. Also, her face seems more-or-less bored, there's no clear expression in her chocolate-colored eyes or a way of telling what she's thinking until she says it."


The princess walks to Frieda, but stays several-feet away to watch her practice... The archer's small, black dog watches her too... Until Frieda suddenly asks "What're you doing out here, princess?". Lora nearly yells in surprise: the woman never looked in her direction, neither was she even close enough to be in her peripheral vision... the princess wanted to ask for her help, but was still wondering how to reveal what she was doing and why, too... immediately running upon her wasn't what she wanted, neither was being found so fast... "Um..." Lora starts as she steps closer "How did you know?". Frieda replies as she keeps shooting "Your face is still the same, even with different clothes on..", Lora shudders: she only knew Frieda through her dad but not personally, especially since she barely came to the castle or talked with her.. It's creepier that Frieda could see her face without looking and having never looked at her in the first place in the few times she had visited, their talks was little more than a greeting with Frieda never taking her eyes off of whatever she was doing... Lora then replies "Ah... you're very ...attentive.", the archer replies "Yeah... so um... did you want something from me?". The princess sighs in slight fear and says "I... um... I wos wondering how long it would take to learn how to become a archer?". Frieda sighs "I thought you got classes in all kinds of stuff at the castle?", Lora replies nervously "I do, all kinds of stuff even this! It's just... that um... a friend of mine needs to learn how to fight and...". Frieda turns toward her... her eyes seem to be somewhere else, despite looking at her "Princess... you can't learn this in just a couple of days: your friend would need to know how to sneak upon your enemy and shoot from afar, while being able to judge how far the arrow would go..". Lora replies as she looks at the grass "Oh..." she sounds slightly upset at this... she only has a while to chose a style and look for Wit before Earnest would probably start pushing that she goes or he'll do it...
