Timestamp: 50th Day of Fall, 512 AV It was Kovac's turn to monitor the Yasi range, a duty shared by all archery instructors, but one he had seemed to draw more often then the others since his return from Thunder Bay. Maybe they slighted him for volunteering to help rebuild Water Reach instead of staying in Skyinarta, maybe it was still the fact that he was only half-inarta. Regardless, the mongrel Avora's bitterness had been somewhat assuaged during his time away, so he took the discrimination in stride.The archer strolled the ranks of the middle range, where most of the less skilled Yasi were plying their bows. Kovac was not particularly fond of Yasi, and his snarky manner and mildly abusive words ensured they felt the same about him. But, One on one, Kovac tended to be more patient, and had success in teaching, as long as the student was willing to learn. Not since he had worked with Rista, herself a half-breed, had he found a youngling worthy of putting his time into. So, while he gnawed off bites from a strip of over-cured meat, the archery instructor monitored the shooters, calling one out a time or two when they broke a rule or did something so wrong he could not let it pass. Kovac paused behind one older girl getting ready to shoot. He had noted she was not using a range bow, having brought her own, along with her own arrows. To Kovac, she looked very much like the other ginger children, her bright red locks and fair skin classic Inarta. She did wear copper earrings, which shone dully in the cavern's light. Folding his arms across his bare chest, the Avora watched the girl ready her first arrow. |
