Danger. But she knew that already.<br/><br/>Still. Arrows were meant to pierce flesh, not earth. A warning shot? Or a mere miss? The latter seemed doubtful; though she had been alert, she had been standing still, an easy mark. But perhaps their assailants were bad shots... or poor of sight in the dark.<br/><br/>Speaking of standing still. She shouldn't be doing that.
