"Why a bow?"
"Because guns are loud," she said as she released the arrow.
He watched as it split the arrow dead center of the target. Pulling out his gun, he shot the target three times before looking at her.
"I can hit it too, but mine is faster."
"Debatable," she said as she turned to face him. "Do you really think the men who protect my uncle will allow anyone with a gun into the palace that they don't know?"
"They have to be able to get this gun away from me and no one has done that yet. You forget I'm security."
"Doesn't matter," she said, shaking her head. " Besides, this isn't my only weapon."
"I've seen your arsenal. You still need a gun," he said.
"Since you're bent on being my shadow, you can carry the guns."
"You're not comfortable with them, are you?
Without blinking, she grabbed the gun in his hand and fired at the target. Her aim was true and the broken arrows fell to the ground as she handed him the gun.
"I'm comfortable with any weapon. I choose to use something else," she said as she stepped back.
