[ Natalie just raises two challenging eyebrows at Henry over her shoulder as she goes to retrieve her arrows to place them back into the quiver. ]

Maybe it's 'cause I prefer training over improvisation.

[perfectforyou]

Okay, but it's literally in my blood.

[ Still grinning by the time she makes it back, he preps his next few arrows. He shoots them off in quick succession, landing them in a close grouping but not quite on the bullseye. ]

At least I'm not trying to reenact that scene from that Mel Brooks movie.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights?

[ She snorts, leaning against the tree behind him. ]

Who would you be in this context?

[perfectforyou]

Hey, I'd make a great Robin of Loxley, wouldn't I?

[clearasil]

I think so. I'll be Will Scarlett O'Hara.

[ She grins, slinging her bow over her shoulders. ]

[perfectforyou]

Isn't he more of a knife guy?

[clearasil]

Yeah, but. I could probably work with knives too. I just like him.

[perfectforyou]

Aren't knives one of your mom's symbols, anyway? It totally works out. Except you're not from Georgia, but who's keeping track?

[clearasil]

[ Natalie points at him. ] Look, you're not British either so it doesn't have to be an exact match, does it?

Are we still doing the stealing from the rich to give to the poor thing?

[perfectforyou]

My mom can trace her ancestry to Great Britain, so I kind of am. [ Putting on a really bad British accent, he continues: ] Do you have Georgia in your blood, Miss O'hara? I think not.

Oh, totally! If anyone could get away with it, it's us.

[ She snorts. ]

I don't know if I'm prepared for that kind of commitment, actually, that's a lot of social pressure and I might give into keeping all the wealth to myself. You sure you want me as your partner in crime?

[perfectforyou]

[ Tsk, tsk. ] With great power comes great responsibility, Nat. I'd have to follow you and make sure you stay on the right track or something. I wouldn't want to have to find someone else.

[clearasil]

Ye of too much faith in me. [ Pushing off the tree, Natalie, restless, reaches for another arrow and unslings her bow. ]

I do have killer aim, though.

[perfectforyou]

Emphasis on the "killer." I'd hate to be that dummy right now.
