"Of course. Finding things is part of what I do, after all."

*Livio brought out two small woodcarving knives, setting one down on each of the table.*

"How do you shape the bone? Just whittle away at it?"

*Livio was relatively familiar with the other parts of it. Feathers in particular, he knew. Shaping was another thing. It was always the heads he had struggled with though. To be honest, he hadn't made his own bolts since he was in the army; a long time. Perhaps it was time for some more practice.*

"...Something like that. Large claws help." *Sonja nodded in agreement.* "It's the most time consuming part. In a rush, you might be able to find arrow tips of the right shape at a market. Still cheaper than buying full arrows."

*The Ursinoid reached for one of the knives and became to slowly cut notches and grooves into the first bolt shaft, then showed it to Livio as an example.*

"This is what we want all the wood to look like."

*With that she reached for a few more pieces of wood and started to bring them up to speed too, cutting and carving away as needed.*

"Buy them at a market? Interesting..."

*Livio had never thought about buying only bolt heads; only entire bolts outfitted with fletching. That would be more economical, not wasting money on time spent carving and sticking the feathers on. The white-cloaked man watched Sonja's movement closely as she cut the grooves into the wooden stick, and he followed to the measure. The bolts were compared soon afterward, Livio making sure it was accurate.*

*The mercenary nodded. He got to work, carving out the notches and grooves, wood shavings and chips now littering the table. Those would make for good fire starters. With both of them working on the shafts, they were done soon.*

"Which part next?"
Philip
*Sonja watched closely as Livio did his best to match her movements. He seemed to get the hang of it pretty well. She nodded silently in approval after glancing over some of his work. Together, they seemed to be making quick work of wood! But there was more to bolt making that wood carving, as Sonja well knew.*

"Feathers are last. It's easy to damage them if you are handling the bolt to string on an arrowhead." *The bear lady explained with a slow nod.* "So then... Tips next."

*Not wasting a moment longer, she reached for one of the crudely carved arrow points and fitted it into a slit carved at one end of the arrow. Next was the string, which was used to fasten it securely into position. Sonja made her movements slow, so as to ensure that Livio was able to get the hang of it.*

"...Something like this. Make sure the bone is secure enough not to wiggle."
