[Just enjoying this average day in Reverein? Well, that may be abruptly interrupted when you're suddenly hugged by a random NPC, the individual not only confessing their undying love for you, but just really refusing to let go. Something must've really came over them and the suspicious arrow poking out of them may definitely explain it, but after a few minutes, they'll stop and flee the premises after apologizing profusely.

Strange, huh?

Well, the man shooting arrows from atop the building may be the reason behind this. He doesn't look like he'll be stopping, especially since he just smiles politely and waves just slightly whenever someone looks up to him. He really seems to think he's doing the right thing. Probably.

Alternatively, maybe you're the one hit by the arrow and is now confessing some huge sonnet of love to the nearest person or object near you. Or maybe you're quick on your feet and manage to catch the arrow in midair or dodge it completely. Either way, Hans will still just politely wave from the roof because well, guess he'll just have to own up to that.]

[It looks like Hans is situated on top of a different roof, somewhat obscuring himself as he watches for his next target. Look, he wants to get the reward and he wants to make sure that he fully hits these unsuspecting people without drawing too much attention; he's probably caused enough of that on the other side of town. Besides, he's not in a huge rush, so he keeps quiet for a few seconds before finally standing up, drawing an arrow as he aims at a poor lady just enjoying her coffee from across the street.]

Worse things to love than a warm drink, my lady.

[He talks mostly to himself, as he readies his bow. Maybe someone should stop him or hey, even help him, he's open to selecting new targets.]

[Got something else in mind? Reach me at currykirby.]

(ii) Hunter shouldn't be allowed to use these either

[ Tis a pleasant cafe this lady is hanging out at. Cozy outdoor seating, friendly staff, decent coffee... The lady even got a kind, if homely, waiter walking over to check on her.

The atmosphere is promptly ruined when someone else fires an arrow and nails the waiter in the leg.

Now the waiter drops everything to scoop up the lady in his arms and start showering her in kisses.

Definitely not Hans this time. The arrow came from the rustling tree nearby. The brat hiding in the branches snickers to himself as he reloads his crossbow. ]

[sleightofhans]

[Well, that arrow definitely wasn't his.

So someone else is here, huh? He notices the rustling of a tree that's not too far off and well, he can't entirely stop himself from aiming his next arrow at the person resting over there. Of course, it's a little bit difficult to see him past the leaves and everything, but it will at least let him know that Hans has noticed another individual having a bit of fun here.

And so, he draws his bow, before letting his arrow shoot through the sky, heading straight towards the tree.]

[ The arrow grazes another Patton's head and strikes the tree's trunk. The branches shake, and the kid nearly falls out of them. ] Yipe!

2/2

[hashtagwoof]

[ ... Well. Now that he's been knocked into view, Hans might actually recognize this kid from a dream he had. Hair's a bit different, especially with the leaves sticking out of it, but it's still the same kid... ]

Hmph! Hope you realize this means war!

[ He fires an arrow at the guy on the roof. He's not sure if it will hit, but it should buy him some time to get out of the tree and make an escape while the patrons caught in the middle of this chaos are still figuring out what's going on. ]

[sleightofhans]

[It takes Hans a good few seconds to recognize Hunter, which actually stalls the prince from shooting another arrow. He's certainly familiar, but he can't place him just yet. For one, it's a little hard to see from this distance, but it's really the voice that finally clues him in.

Ah, the kid from his nightmare. Great. Maybe he'll be lucky and he won't recognize Hans. With his thoughts taking root, he barely manages to avoid the arrow that soars by him-- a pretty good shot, he can admit that.]

You'll have to try harder than that.

[Hans definitely doesn't mind putting himself into competition with a boy apparently. It's all in the name of good sport or something like that. He'll just say that later on, especially as he readies another arrow, looking for any glimpse of that red jacket.]

[hashtagwoof]

[ The kid's just getting warmed up!

Of course, if he said that aloud, he'd give away his location. He'd already weaved his way through the gathering crowd and hid inside the cafe itself. If the man wants to get him, he'll have to go through the building.

... Hey, wait. Didn't Hunter hear that voice before? No, couldn't be. It sounded much older than the eight year old he met in that dream... Unless...

Whatever, now's not the time to think about it. He needs a distraction, fast. So he goes up to a random stranger and points out a man on the roof of the building across the street to them. The rando pokes their head out the doorway looking for the man... ]

[sleightofhans]

[Hmm, it seems like he's lost track of his small target here. Perhaps a reason to feel frustrated, but Hans doesn't mind the challenge, honestly. Something new to deal with, other than shooting all of these people with his arrows. It might be best if he moves locations himself, but maybe in due time. He does notice the man peering from the doorway and well, even if he's not connected to Hunter, Hans figures he might be an interesting target to hit.

Look, he can multitask.

So, he lets his arrow fly free, heading straight towards the random stranger.]

[hashtagwoof]

[ And it plunges into the stranger's forehead... Right as he spotted the guy who shot him.

Now the guy's rushing out of the building like some lovesick unicorn, proclaiming his live for the handsome guy on the roof. Which directs everyone else's attention to said roof.

Meanwhile, Hunter's suprised this plan worked out so well. He thought he would have to shoot the rando in the back himself, but whatever. Now to see how Hans reacts to all these eyes on him. ]

[sleightofhans]

[.........That didn't go exactly as planned.

Sure, he doesn't mind being admired, but definitely not like this. He knows all too well these feelings are fake and he definitely doesn't want any proclamations of love from some random guy. He feels himself lowering his bow, before darting to move back inside the building whose roof he's been standing on. He doesn't want to be trapped on top here for sure.

And he still needs to find that kid.]
