Feather in His Cap
Shem was quite poor when it came to blade work. His sparring matches hadn't gone to well, proving to be a low point of his training. There were, at least, other skills of his that he could hone. The Rishii fledgling was willing to bet good credit that when it came to bows, he was one of the best marksman at the Temple. That, he hoped, at least made up for how lacking his skill with a blade was. He couldn't rest easy and assume he was the best though. Most certainly not. That would go against the training rhetoric that had been given to him by his father, and of course Uncle Spinner would be greatly disappointed to see him in a lazy rut. He needed to train.
So, that's exactly what Shem did, taking his Goldwing out to one of the empty training rooms and setting up targets. Training droids mostly, all moving in a rotational pattern around the room at various heights. Then, once the training program began, the fledgling took flight with great speed, his trusty bow clutched in his talons. With the weapon on a lower power setting as to not damage any of the training droids, Shem got to work, knocking plasma arrows with his beak and spinning rapidly downward, letting arrows fly and pick off training droids in quick succession. By the time he hit the ground all but one remained hovering, which he quickly picked out of the air with a disappointed sigh.
That had surly brought his time down.
"Time?" he asked reluctantly.
"2 minutes," one of the training droids answered.
A wince came to his face. That was slower than his last run. It seemed that he was much further from being the best than he thought. He sighed, slinging his bow over his back and pulling out a carton of chocolate milk. The sugar was important when training, and Shem quite liked the stuff. His milk was, very quickly, gone, leaving behind only the empty container. As he readied his bow to start again, the patter of footsteps came into the range of his avian ears, giving him a moment of pause.
"Huh?" he reacted, turning to the source of the sound. "Hello?"
