Why this must be read: This is another story I was surprised not to see already in the memories. So after checking twice that it really wasn't there, I had to rectify that oversight. This is a lovely little story that highlights the differences in outlook between the oldest and the youngest characters. I loved the understated humour and the insight in this scene both of the characters and of immortals in general.


"That's a bow?" Richie looked down in something like horror at the deceptively simple strip of wood in Methos' hand. "And you expect to hit the target with it? Maybe if you walked up to it and" he made a club-swinging motion, "literally hit it, I guess."

"I could ask you the same question about the object you have," Methos replied dryly, "except that I have seen what passes for a bow in this day and age." A sardonic eyebrow indicated the complex squiggle of polycarbon and wire propped in its holder at Richie's feet. "And I wouldn't care to try using one of those as a club."

That is the coolest thing I've read from a rec in at least a couple weeks.
I speed read and make it through a ton of HL stuff all the time, so trust me, big thank you for a heads-up to this one. :)
