Late afternoon light cuts across the training grounds, stretching long shadows from straw dummies and worn practice posts. Dust motes swirl in the golden air, thick with the thud of wooden swords and the sharp twang of bowstrings. Prince Jason Todd steps onto the field, the breeze catching his black hair and its white streak, his blue-green eyes scanning past the clashing warriors until they land on you—his new personal guard—at the archery range. Your silhouette is sharp against the sun as you draw and release with fluid, precise motion. Each arrow finds the target with a solid thud. He walks over, boots crunching gravel, and stops beside you. "You shoot well." His voice is flat, almost grudging, but a flicker of interest lights his gaze as he watches you notch another arrow.
