[Honestly... she gets that. As worried about him as she is, she can totally get how doing something feels better than just sitting and dwelling in the aftermath of something like that.
So she just nods quietly.]
Right, that makes sense.
Okay. [A firmer nod!] I'll help you look. I'm sure between the two of us we can piece this together.
[he knows himself to know that if he's not productive he won't be of any use here, so sometimes you do what you have to do. but he nods, and there's a very brief flicker of gratitude in his expression.]
Right. Let's start walking the perimeter and see if we can figure it out. [he starts to walk toward the archery building.] You'd think they'd reach the field first, but I wonder if they went through the building before that to try and shoot arrows.
We also don't know how many people were involved though.
There we kind of all in a pile? Some of them were actually embedded in the ground though like somebody shot them from an angle according to what Lila found. But it was, like, a bunch of 'em. Maybe every single arrow we have available.
[a nod of agreement. the latter is probably more likely, but he also wouldn't put it past someone who make it look like they were bad on purpose.]
I'm not sure how many we have here. The ID cards might have their skills listed, but it's not like they're totally accurate either...I think. I know a few people probably have stuff missing off of theirs.
What, like send a mass text and see if people respond? It's not a bad idea. Even if people aren't totally honest we might discover some skills that can help us in the future, like more people who know first aid or anything like that.
[that's thinking optimistically, but it's a possibility.]

Yeah... there's a lot we don't know.
But that's okay. We're just starting from the beginning. We'll learn more as we go.
[Anyway.......]
How were the arrows all laid out? One of my best friends is a really good archer. I'm nothing on him, but maybe it'll tell us something.
no subject
Why would an archer need that many?
no subject
Or if they're really bad at archery and trying to shoot one thing badly...
[...]
Do we have a lot of archers here?

[She wrinkles her nose.]
You think we should take a survey of skills after this? People might not be honest, but it couldn't hurt just to know.

no subject
[except for the naturally cagey assholes.]
no subject
[that's absolutely going to work out for both of you.]
Plus if they're only telling one or two people, maybe they'll be more comfortable sharing instead of telling everybody.
no subject
And it's better than just sitting around waiting for more information, you know?
no subject
[good luck with that guys.]
no subject
It's a deal.
[She reaches out to clasp his shoulder.]
I'm gonna go get started on that--but don't stay out here too long, okay? You need to take it easy, too.
no subject
Sure. I'll probably head back in a little while. Thanks.
