[ closes eyes as you've accidentally picked a terrible time but it's fine. izumo's eyes can be decidedly not red or puffy, instead she can be in slight awe because of the image of a centaur with a golden bow is... quite literally out of a book. it gives her a feeling? ]
There are plenty of reasons for red and puffy eyes, but Chiron meets her gaze with a moment of muted concern, weighing the duty of answering her question between asking a few of his own.
In the end, he errs on the side of caution and respect, letting her keep her business to herself for the meantime. Coming to a stop in front of her, he nods at the bow in his hand]
It was in my room, and it is mine, nearly as old as I am.
[ it's okay horse dad!!! she got it out of her system and bringing it up will just be Not Good. let's just focus on the fact that he has a golden bow and makes a comment about it being just as old as him.
which is...old. or, well, has to be old because his age wasn't even listed. (then he talked about heroes and the like...) ]
It looks in good shape for being so old. [ ah. should. she not have said that? well...she's just going to power through. ] Is it magical?
[ sometimes it's okay to just say what's on your mind? nice. but honestly? the fact that he says that it wasn't made from any magic yet still looks the way it does... kind...of hard to believe.
there's a look that she can relate to. however, unfortunately, this just means she's more interested in it. don't worry, she's here to offer condolences. ]
[ izumo killed week 1 confirmed. chiron was the killer...by association. though she'll take the change in his expression as a confirmation for her claim.
she sends her silent condolences. ]
Archery... [ she examines it all over it again. ] It explains the bow.
I don't have much experience with any kind of weapon. [ hmmm. ] It wasn't part of my lessons.
[ FOR MOST PEOPLE IT WOULDN'T. but. uh... he already thinks of her as a mage so maybe this won't be so weird. though what's really got her thinking is the fact that she's defenseless. more or less, anyway. ]
[While he could offer himself up first and foremost, not all teachers are created equal and there might be others whom Izumo would consider more worthy of her time. Regardless:]
I do plan on speaking with those who have some skill to offer... if you'd prefer to wait a few days, you can make your choice then.

G, good afternoon.
[ a feeling that's basically awestruck. ]
Where did you get the bow?

no subject
No. It was a gift from my teacher, but she didn't craft it out of magic at my request. I only wished for a bow to be sturdy and to match my pace.
[... Well. Sure, he says it's not magical, but the bow doesn't even have a scratch on it. It gleams like it's new.]
no subject
though she has to wonder. ]
Your teacher? Were they like you?
no subject
uncomfortable
but there is a moment where his expression turns into deep exasperation and exhaustion]
No, not at all.
She was... ah, how do you say it...
Very ... dedicated to her interests, and had a certain... methodology to her teaching...

Meaning?
no subject
She was a brilliant teacher and pounded the fundamentals into me, lest I ever forget.
[He uh, never forgot!]
no subject
but that answer is....sure an answer. ]
Okay. [ ... ] So, she was that scary.
no subject
Also he refuses to answer that directly, and so his eyes just tick up, expression a combination of amused and exhausted]
In any case, I survived my training and went on to teach the basics of archery to my students.

Archery... [ she examines it all over it again. ] It explains the bow.
no subject
[Meaning he can use many, many more, but thankfully his bow is what was sent here with him. For that, Chiron is eternally grateful.]
And it will save me time from having to make a new one.
no subject
Would you make yourself another one if you didn't find your's here?
no subject
[A simple answer to give]
Even despite my size, I'm used to having a weapon at my disposal, and I favor the bow above all else.
[He is not about to be caught slippin' in the Realm.]

Collecting Nova might prove dangerous, so I would advise on learning some self-defense. There are a few of us here who can help you.
no subject
[ in that kind of scrappy way that relies on her understanding the situation she's in and the resources that she has within her grasps. ]
But you're right. There are so then it becomes the matter of who to ask, isn't it?
[ she doesn't like the idea of them helping her as much as teaching her. it's such a minor correction in her mind and yet... ]

imagining izumo trying to lift an ax like hilda is hilarious, honestly. ]
You do? [ that gets her attention. ] I guess I can wait until everyone is gathered in the same place. It would make more sense to do so.
[ options are good. very good. ]
