Kael stayed silent for a bit after being asked why he preferred the bow over the magical arts. His eyes looking at Katriana as he smiled.
"Well, when I was younger I had an excellent shot. And I was amazed at how the bow works. And if in the right hands the Bow can do amazing things. But yes I know I have very strong magics in me. But in the village I grew up in there were two groups, the rangers and the wizards. It was either you were gifted in one but not the other. I was given both, iit would be another reason why the elders feared me and wanted to control me. I use my magic, but not as a first resort. I combine it with my bow to make my attacks stronger, as you should know."

Katriana nodded slowly as she listened to Kaels explanation, it made sense to her in a way, Katriana knew what it was like to be used, though the blonde version of her only recently found out she had been used the blacked haired Katriana knew longer. She stared at Kael "So, who taught you magic so well then? cause I highly doubt you're self educated" she said as she raised her eyebrows slightly

Kael leaned back against the tree even more and smirked at the next question he was given.
"You'll be surprised by this one."
His head turning to her to look at her briefly before looking back out towards the forest.
"When I was younger. My parents taught me of our history, and began teaching me the very basics of the magic. Later as I grew older I taught myself to use the bow. I became the best ranger in our village within weeks of pickin up the bow. My magic however was powerful, but was a limited use to me. Since I didnt focus on using it. When the elders noticed my powers and skill they stepped in and took me to train me. It was maybe a month before I ran off from there, but during that time they had trained my magic only to a point where they could control and not fear me. So I would say probably moderate level spells. But after leaving the village I continued on with training my bow and crafting them myself, and also began teaching myself new spells, stronger ones. And then I began to combine both together."

The black haired Katriana nodded a little, impressed at the mans ability to create his own spells after only a limited education and also being able to combine them with his archery. "not a lot of people have the ability to do both so you're truly talented" she said with a curt nod of her head. Her black with blue eyes moving over the landscape slowly as she pondered briefly "so, have you inscribed your bow somehow then? to channel the magic through?" she asked as her eyes had come to rest on Kaels bow.

Kael smiled at Katriana's next question, as he nodded his head some. Reaching around and pulling out his bow, holding it in front of him. His eyes running over it as his fingertips lightly ran across the wood shaft. His head tilting up and looked at Katriana.
"Yes, this bow has inscriptions on it." As he held out the bow for Katriana to take to look over for herself.
"But in the beginning I didnt. I would channel the magic through the bow without inscriptions. How do you like the bow Katriana?"

Katriana reached out to take the bow from Kael when he held out the bow to her, her fingertips gliding gently over the smooth surface of the wood she followed the gentle curve with her fingers as she felt the engravings. She didn't want to pry as to what he had put into the surface but her fingers told her it was a simple guiding incantation. Katrianas eyes moved over the bow slowly, making sure she didn't read the spells in the wooden surface as she didn't want to know about them. "It's excellently crafted" she noted again. Beginning to hand it back to Kael when a small insignia caught her attention, maybe there was a little more to the guiding spell than she had expected but she shook it off casually.

Kael reached out to retrieve his bow back from Katriana as he noticed her pause briefly as she was handing it back. Smiling as he took his bow and laid it down beside him and sliding his fingers over the incantations on the wooden shaft.
"I saw something caught your attention there Katriana." smiling at her now.
"Is it to do with the incatation on the bow? and Im not worried if you tried to decipher it either."

Katriana's lips pulled up into a smile as she nodded a little, a light shrug lifting her shoulders gently as she stared at Kaels caress of his bow. She tilted her head slightly to the left "yes there was one inscription that caught my attention, I recognise it from someplace but I can't quite put my finger on where" she said, a frown marring her forehead. In her mind the blonde Katriana had let out a mental gasp when she gripped the fleeting image of the insignia in front of her minds eye. She also had seen it before and if she was correct it was similar to placing a soul bind on someone but she wasn't sure. She sent her considerations to the other Katriana who raised an eyebrow sceptically at her worries. The black haired Katriana smirked as she stared at Kaels face with her intense black with blue haloed eyes "Kat seems to think you're soul is bound to the bow" she smirked.

Kael smiled and stared back at Katriana as she asked him if the one inscription was a bonding soul. Picking up his bow again and holding it in front of him running his fingers over the inscriptions slowly and coming to a stop on one of them.
"This one here are you referring to Kat? If it is, then no this inscription here isnt bonding my soul to the bow, I havent used a bonding inscription on any of my bows. But I do see some a resemblance as to why you might have thought that. Do you see this part here?" running his finger slowly along the detail of the inscription.
"That is what is difference compared to the bonding inscription and this one." As he returned his eyes back on to Katriana and smiling softly at her.

Katriana hmm'ed softly as she turned her black with blue rimmed eyes onto the symbol that was being indicated by Kael, she tilted her head a little as she stared at it, it didn't look like the soul binding insignia but it did still look familiar. A frown re-appearing on Katrianas forehead she thought about that, mentally nudging the blonde Katriana 'you were wrong' she thought at her as she received a mental shrug as a reply back. Katriana shook her head a little as she rolled her eyes 'still comfy in there' she posed mentally to the blonde Katriana who gave her a mental shrug again 'it's not unbearable, just weird how I want to move but then don't because I'm not in control' she thought at her black haired alter ego. Katriana shrugged for real now, her eyes darting to Kael who was staring at her "Sorry" she apologised "having a little inside conversation with the other Katriana, the one you know" she explained, hearing the laughter of the blonde Katriana in her head from her explanation. Katriana huffed, flipping her black with blonde streaked hair back casually "I was asking her if she was still okay being confined in her head" she continued, ignoring Katrianas laughter "She said she was fine so I'm not sure if she'll be coming back any time soon" she said smirking when she got a mental kick from the blonde Katriana. "Is there anything you would like to ask me? I feel..." she paused "well, technically the Katriana you know feels, guilty for letting me ask so many questions" she paused again "personally I don't feel bad at all" she finished.

Kael smiled and shook his head.
"No dont worry about its alright. And Im okay that you have kept asking me questions, so dont feel bad about it. Hmm do I have a question for you..."
Pausing slightly as he thought of what to ask Katriana.
"Before a little while ago, why did you hate your host?" his eyes staring at Katriana's black and blue eyes.

Katriana kept her black with blue halo'ed eyes locked with Kaels as she shrugged lightly at his question "Easy, she is unworthy of the power she had been given at birth" she said simply, the blonde recoiled in her mind. Feeling the need to explain the black haired Katriana shifted a little, feeling Katriana's unease at sitting still for so long, the blonde herself was used to moving around a lot, especially when she was talking. "She's under the impression she's weak, when she's pretty much the opposite, it annoys me" she said with a slight shrug again

"hmmm, I see." nodding slightly.
turning his head back to stare out towards the still forest once again.
"So if you think shes unworthy, how come you didnt try to convince her before that she isnt weak? and that she shouldnt fear the power she has?"
His eyes then returning back to Katriana's as he waited for a responce.

Katriana followed Kaels gaze to the forest, she wondered if he felt uncomfortable out in the field, it would make sense after all Kael didn't strike Katriana as the kind of person who would walk around in the village all day. Turning her eyes back on Kael she thought about his question "Katriana doesn't listen to me" she started "She's pretty much locked me away in a small part of her mind and sealed it shut, so no matter how hard I tried, and tried I did, she wouldn't listen to me and the only times she did actually let me go it was unconsciously and usually I had to save her ass out of some very uncomfortable situations" Katriana smirked as she thought about the mess the blonde seemed to get herself into.

Kael shrugged slightly and nodded some.
"I see, but Im guessing after your conversation with Vyse things are looking better it seems?" giving Katriana a soft smile as he stared into her black and blue eyes still.
