"Ah thanks for reminding me," Kat said, barely even trying to conceal her smirk, "patience. Another important thing in archery." She took another bit of her apple. "This, right here?" she said, making a vague gesture in Ernst's direction, "Not gonna do you any good." If she was being honest with herself, Kat was actually enjoying riling Ernst up – almost enough for her to let that comment about her not making any shots slide.

"And you think speed's not a big deal? Let's say we actually make it to the dragon. He's barreling down on our great dwarven leader, ready to swallow him hole, and you have to stop it. I don't care how strong you are, you're not piercing dragon scales with an arrow, so you have to go for the eye." Raising her hand, she made an O with her pointer finger and thumb. "You have to hit a target this big in a matter of seconds, or someone ends up dead. You have to not only get a near perfect shot, but do it under pressure and you don't have time to line up and correct your aim. Tell me speed's not important."
