Havelock is outside again.
Training has to be done, as he sees it, so target practise it is.
The tree stump that is today's target seems somewhat the worse for wear. Done right, knife-throwing can actually be quite cathartic, he has found.

Date: 2005-09-23 06:57 pm (UTC)From:He has taken his life into his own hands.
This is different from every day precisely how?
"Havelock."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 06:59 pm (UTC)From:He has confidence in his abilities. Does Raven?
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:04 pm (UTC)From:That, or he could just catch the damn thing. But that would be showing off.
He tilts his head at Havelock, eyes black and bright, but not visibly laughing.
"You and Puck belong together, I think."
His tone does not, quite, suggest that this might not be the best thing, at this moment.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:15 pm (UTC)From:He sights along another blade, but doesn't throw it, feeling the balance for a moment.
"Why do you say so?" he asks idly as he does this.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:31 pm (UTC)From:It feels like a long one, perhaps, as there is a faint tension in the air, but it isn't, really.
"You are both very stupid, sometimes."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:32 pm (UTC)From:"Oh yes?"
Still no expression.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:38 pm (UTC)From:Raven tilts his head again, bird-bright black eyes still fixed squarely on Havelock.
"Did you give Puck his regards? It is a good message to pass on, perhaps. I am sure Puck appreciated it."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:41 pm (UTC)From:"I did not repeat the conversation word for word, if that is what you mean."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:46 pm (UTC)From:Raven caws a rough laugh.
"It is not so easy a thing, that."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:47 pm (UTC)From:He looks down from the Raven, studying the target intently.
"I wanted to."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:51 pm (UTC)From:The bird flutters its wings, hopping slightly closer to the edge of the stump.
"I suspect he might be yours last, as well. It is an odd thing, perhaps."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:57 pm (UTC)From:"He harmed him, no matter how Puck may have wanted it at one time."
He raises the blade finally. "You know I will be dead long before last is even a thought, Raven."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 07:59 pm (UTC)From:And then there is a man, sitting on the stump.
"I am not much of one for seeing the future. It changes so frequently."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:03 pm (UTC)From:"It seems fairly certain, at least."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:07 pm (UTC)From:"Fairly is an important qualifier, I think."
For the Bird, nothing is ever certain.
Well, rarely.
Some days.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:10 pm (UTC)From:Havelock shrugs, and approaches to begin pulling out knves.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:13 pm (UTC)From:Raven pokes Havelock's leg with his foot, when the assassin is close enough.
"Though it is not yet relevant, so. You are not harmed in body, I think?"
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:14 pm (UTC)From:"Nor in mind, as far as I know."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:18 pm (UTC)From:"This is also true, I think. Perhaps a little heartsore, still, but with Puck, this is not a surprise. He is a confusing thing, perhaps."
Also silly.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:21 pm (UTC)From:He tugs out a blade with some effort. They are all embedded deep today.
"He can be," he says after a while.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:22 pm (UTC)From:Raven shrugs, and pulls out one of the knives. He fiddles with it, idly.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:34 pm (UTC)From:Then sighs faintly. "But then, many things are difficult to understand. It is nothing new."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:35 pm (UTC)From:He wrinkles his nose, and pokes Havelock again.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:39 pm (UTC)From:"Perhaps. They entertain you?"
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:42 pm (UTC)From:"I converse with you, do I not? And Puck? And Coyote?"
He shrugs, laughing.
"I could list them all, perhaps, but it would take some time."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:57 pm (UTC)From:"You do indeed."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:57 pm (UTC)From:"Indeed."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 08:58 pm (UTC)From:"It is a thing, perhaps."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:05 pm (UTC)From:"Perhaps. Unless you are mocking me, in which case it is decidedly a thing."
He tilts his head, and grins at Havelock.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:07 pm (UTC)From:"Mock? ...Echo, perhaps. Unconsciously."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:10 pm (UTC)From:"I do not think you are quite careless enough for an unconscious thing. But I will be charitable, I think, and call it mimicry. You are quite good."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:15 pm (UTC)From:"Maybe."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:16 pm (UTC)From:"Puck is better. It is uncanny, perhaps."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:18 pm (UTC)From:"I would not have recognised Flagg if he were not, it seems likely."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:18 pm (UTC)From:"It is a lucky thing, that. In a way."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:22 pm (UTC)From:Not that he would have drunk anything anyone unknown gave him. But being on his guard was probably wise.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:22 pm (UTC)From:"He likes to be noticed, I think."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:23 pm (UTC)From:no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:33 pm (UTC)From:Raven snorts.
"He likes the theater, I think."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:36 pm (UTC)From:Havelock shrugs as he begins replacing knives up his sleeves.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:37 pm (UTC)From:Raven hands over the knife he has been playing with.
It's sharper than it used to be.
Funny how that works.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:41 pm (UTC)From:Havelock doesn't look too surprised that it is sharper. He simply tucks it away with the others.
"Are you going back in?" he asks.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:42 pm (UTC)From:"I do not think so. Not yet."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:44 pm (UTC)From:"Then I shall leave you," he says. "Good evening, Raven."
no subject
Date: 2005-09-23 09:46 pm (UTC)From:He grins, and does not move.
It is pleasant, sometimes, to be still.
