They watched with mild fascination as the knife flew, body moving on its own as they tried to imitate the man's stance. No luck. They pouted but stowed away the information for later. They were sure sir Cekirse and the rest would be thrilled to know that the inhabitants were able to wield human weaponry.
They would record their findings some other time; right now they had encountered three strangers. How exciting! More opportunities to learn preferences was always a plus in their books. Bokarsi scampered closer to the trio, hovering dangerously close to the blade as they studied the workings of it. They kept their ears perked as the man spoke to the other child, absorbing his advice with vivid attention.
One point caught their attention. Bokarsi glanced up at the man, head tilted. "May we get a story on how the skill has saved your life?" The child asked, poorly masked anticipation laced in their tone. They loved hearing stories--they served as lessons, if one tried hard enough. They were slightly interested in the art of throwing knives itself, but they had been told they were much too young to learn sharp weaponry. They had to settle for their staff for a few more years.
