Hot Potato (party log)

Who: Chloe Frazer & any and all party people!!
What: Harvest Celebrations/Halloween Party/Ruby’s Birthday/Rat Marriage/Big Communal Cooking Party so Chloe doesn't burn down her house
When: October 12
Where: At Chloe’s house on Greene Street

Content Warnings: Food descriptions, probably.
Other Notes: Feel free to make this a mingle and reply to other characters!

Chloe had wondered whether to go through with the harvest party once Lalo had disappeared, but as they say, the show must go on. There's still a lot worth celebrating, and people need something hopeful after the mess last month. Luckily her house had made it through everything all right.

The poster had said to wear a costume, so she's hoping to see a lot of those, and she’d recruited some people to help her put together the menu exactly to Lalo’s specifications, so unfortunately no one is safe from British Potatoes. There are even candles for the birthday cake.

Chloe herself is dressed as a sexy lumberjack, with one of Lalo’s old flannels tied in a knot under her breasts and denim cutoffs made from the jeans Kostya had gotten blood on (shh). She's got a fire roaring, because otherwise she’d freeze.

Reiner nods. "I would appreciate it. I wouldn't want a poor shot to cost someone dinner."

He tries to inject a little humor into those last words—but he's serious, as well. He knows how to use a firearm. If he could improve his aim, he'd be more reliable in bringing in meat.

"No problem. It might be a good idea to learn with a bow, too, since arrows are easier to come by." In that they could be made much easier.

A bow…

Reiner's gaze flicks away for a moment, but not quickly enough to conceal the shadow that crosses his expression. He's reminded of a former friend with whom he never had a chance to reconcile. One more casualty in a war he failed to prevent.

"… That might take longer," he says, once again composed as he looks back at Levi. "I've never even touched one."

He shrugs, noticing but declining to mention the shadow. If they ran out of bullets he might have to get over whatever it was anyway. "Neither had I before coming here. Its really tricky at first, though."

"I believe that," Reiner says. Then, injecting a hint of teasing to his tone, he adds, "Do you think I should start with aiming at a barn door, or a tree?"

It's half a joke, half a genuine question.

"Honestly either. The part I had trouble with was figuring out how to fire the arrow and how much force to use in the first place."

Reiner nods. "So, mechanics first, perfecting aim later."

"Yeah, once you get that down aiming isn't that much different than you would with a gun."

Reiner nods. He doesn't quite smile, but his eyes are warm.

"Thank you. I appreciate all the advice."

"I can give you some pointers later, if you want." He still doesn't feel fully comfortable with a bow, but he could pass some things on.

"I'd like that, if you wouldn't mind." Polite, but Reiner genuinely means it. He always learns better by example.

"Yeah, no problem. Just let me know when you want to, I do patrols a lot but I sleep at the community hall so I shouldn't be too hard to fine."

"Thank you, Levi," Reiner says, offering another subdued smile. "I'll keep an eye out for you."

First, he'll need to find the appropriate equipment. Then, he'll get in some practice to see how far they have to go, and what he feels he needs the most help with. But after that, he will indeed seek Levi out for pointers.
