Guys, guys. So I thought maybe I got jipped with the whole feather thing, because seriously who wants to turn into a hedgehog all the time? But then the fairies were all "hey, great job, what do you want?" and look at what I got.
[ Rachel's outside, looking way, way too bright and shiny and happy. practically giddy. she's got her locket set on --something about shoulder height, just so she can hold up her finger and hop a few paces back before holding up THIS. it's obvious she's pretty in love with it, because her smile hasn't faded in the least bit, and she's not exactly bouncing with energy, but she's close. there's definitely a little bit of excited bopping going ]
Isn't it beautiful? This gorgeous, shiny, sexy, powerful weapon is all mine now. Which is so great because I've been wanting to learn how to shoot better and now I actually can without going into the armory all the time, and look. This isn't even the best part.
[ she turns her back to the camera as she reaches behind her to grab her ( also gold! ) arrow from the thin quiver at her back, quickly turning and loading up so she can shoot at a target that's off screen. no, she's not a pro. her form is amateurish at best ( thanks, fancy finishing school ) and she takes a good thirty seconds to really line up her shot and go for it. but when she does, there's a tell-tale thunk of the arrow hitting her target. and no, for anyone keeping score, it's not in the center, but that's okay. that's not the important part. the important part happens a few seconds later when she turns her back to the camera again, and the arrow is right back where she pulled it from. ]
How awesome is this? Gods! I'm going to practice all the time. And then I'll actually be able to help more here, and- [ yep, that's an excited not-squeal. it's a cheer. a little "yeehee!" for herself and her excitement and her perfect boon. ]
So, who wants to give me lessons? Preferably someone on the Seelie side, yeah.

[ she takes it back and holds it tight in her hand, still getting used to the grip on it, but- it feels right. like it should be hers, that she's not holding some hero's weapon and playing pretend. it's pretty great. ]
Oh, yeah. Let me show you.
[ she takes a few steps away from him as she reaches back to her quiver again, pulling out that gold arrow and drawing it back in the bow. it takes her a little while to align her shot, same as before, but the arrow flies and hits the target again, low, but still! she hit the thing. she's proud. ] It takes a little while to do it, but just give it a little time. [ sure enough, about thirty seconds after the arrow landed in the target, it fades out of sight, and reappears back in her quiver ] Tada! I think it varies, how long it takes to reappear, but. Maybe it knows I don't need it back right away, or something. I'll have to test it out more.

That’s awesome, though! And your aim’s not bad, either. I was always better with a ballista or some grenades, [ he says with a laugh. ] Maybe we can get you some backup arrows, for while you’re waiting for the other one to come back. Just in case.
