[ omg Hans is asking him about his trade... this is great. ]

Aye, it keeps it sealed tight. Once the metal cools, it's all but fused with the barrel.

[audentis]

That still sounds boring, but I'm happy for you if it is bringing you fulfillment.

[ he's so generous but look peasants need to keep themselves entertained sometimes ]

[fortunaiuvat]

It's just interesting, is all.

[ He can't help but feel like Hans might be condescending him, but he's going to choose to move on. ]

Some things change, and some things stay the same. Horseshoes are still horseshoes, for one.

[audentis]

[ That's just his nature...it's who he is....]

The hunting's kind of split. Some people use a bow, but others use guns. It's very loud--I'm not sure how they manage to get anything done without scaring off all the game.

[fortunaiuvat]

[ It is... Henry knows this, and loves him for it. ]

Like the handgonnes Zizka and his men tried to show us a Nebakov? You can barely aim those things. You'd blast a hare to smithereens.

[audentis]

They're a little better, but not by much.

[ amazing what technological improvements can do. ]

I'm perfectly fine with a bow, though.

[fortunaiuvat]

It can't be any good for the meat or the pelt if they're being shot at.

[ Just going by the way the Finger of God destroyed Nebakov (don't think about it, don't think about it) then even a tiny bullet would cause a far bigger wound than an arrow. ]

I'm sure you're showing them all off with that bow of yours.

[audentis]

Right you are, Henry. I'm great with a bow.

[ Why miss the opportunity to talk himself up. (': ]

[fortunaiuvat]

That's right. I'm sure you'll be making a reputation for yourself in no time.

[ Henry can both talk him up and tease him a bit, that's the power of being his best friend/page/it's complicated. ]

Maybe not as "the Ghost" though, eh?

[audentis]

You know what I think? I think you're jealous, that I was so good at it. That I had a reputation at all.

[fortunaiuvat]

Jealous? Of a poacher? Hans, the last thing I'd want is a reputation for breaking the law.

[ Like, he can steal and sneak and break into places, but he doesn't want a reputation. ]

[audentis]

No one knew it was me. The Ghost had a reputation.

[ Except that they eventually did know it was him and he almost died, but, you know. ]

[fortunaiuvat]

The Ghost was known for leaving sloppy carcasses and disappearing before anyone could catch him!

[ Let's not talk about the part where he got caught, Henry is willing to avoid it for the moment. ]

[audentis]

Hey! Don't call me "sloppy," that's very rude.
