(Woops! So sorry. I haven't been getting notifications for this. I wonder why that happens.)
The battle was over before Miko could do much more than shoot an arrow - that only served to distract. She blinked, and suspiciously eyed the hawk as it was getting butchered. She would've thought that a beast of the fourth rank would've put up a tougher fight...but then again she appeared to be the only first ranked person here. She returned the second arrow she had drawn and slung her bow back, adjusting her arm guard and fidgeting as the population in the area suddenly increased. She didn't do so well with people - at least not in groups. She noticed the male - ...Lao? Well, Eastern Empire after all... - looking at her, and while she gave him a very deadpanned face, unwilling to come over and say hi to the new arrivals, she didn't exactly wanna leave either. While slightly annoyed that she'd get no training in today, and that so many people had clustered here, her interest was piqued, and so she hung around the outskirts of the group, hoping no one would notice her...just skulking there. (I know, it's suspicious xD)
She inspected the two new additions from afar, the two females, both evidently practitioners of Fire Battle-Qi, and it seemed that Lao possessed Light Battle-Qi. Would anyone realise what her element was? She'd done nothing overly flashy to reveal it...so...well, having it known wasn't exactly a bad thing either, but knowledge was a weapon in itself, and Miko was going in no holds barred! Her ruminations were interrupted by a second glance by Lao and he walked over, offering some meat to her. She blinked a couple of times in surprise and stared up at him.
"Um, I don't think I should. I didn't really participate in the battle..." She cast a glance at the child digging in - the meat did smell delicious. Another pause of hesitation, then she nodded her gratitude to the male and dug in. She'd grudgingly accept that it was rather delicious! She didn't mean to wolf it all down, but she'd been hungrier than she'd thought, so the black-haired archer polished off the meat in a couple of minutes. Stifling a satisfied sigh, she smiled at Lao - the first smile she'd actually given him. Well, anyone who offered her food was okay in her books!
