*Mirabel turned around and saw a large burly set man looking at her only mirabel was not afraid she could see kindness in his eyes*

Hosea:Mirabel meet Charles Smith told him you've needing some bow training and he wanted to help a gremlin like you for some reason

Hosea:Mirabel meet Charles Smith told him you've needing some bow training and he wanted to help a gremlin like you for some reason

Now

Mirabel:.  .  .ok quick question just a tiny little thing almost insignificant really but how am I supposed to use a bow when you know

*Mirabel lifted her nub of an arm with an unamused expression on her face*

Hosea:that's why I bought you this you ungrateful brat

Mirabel;oh forgive me for not being thankful for being here against my will

Hosea:you're own fault for being dumb enough to think you could fight a bear

*While they bicker Charles just stood there he could tell they weren't really arguing more like playful bickering*

Charles:sorry to interrupt but we're losing sunlight Hosea give Mirabel the gift you've been talking about it in you're letters

Mirabel;letters?

Charles;yes you Mirabel has been what he's been talking about since he found you Tilly loves it though and wants to basically adopt you

Mirabel:ummm I'm gonna say no i have a mother and i will find her one day

*Charles and Hosea saw a mixture of emotions from Mirabel's face from determined, to angry and sadness, Hosea just coughed and threw something to Mirabel who caught it she looked and was surprised it was a wooden forearm With a
spring mechanism that uses a coil of string to tighten and release movement across the entire arm, as well as a miniature, adapted version on the back of his hand for individual fingers*

Mirabel:what....

Hosea:got tired of you complaining about being one handed at least with this you can't say that no more

Mirabel:alright I'll bite how is that gonna help me with a bow

Hosea:with some practice you can move the fingers on got it from this strange fellow old friend of a friend of our a doctor called Marko Dragic

Charles:he was.....an odd fellow

Hosea:but smarter then the both of us combined he said even a 7 year old could use the arm...on second thought.....

Mirabel:oh fuck you I'm short from malnutrition not because of age

Charles:ok i can tell both of you could go on till night fall into next morning but could we hurry this along
