Do you break your bows a lot? Or do you keep having to run and leave them behind?

[Those are really the only reasons he can think of for why she'd use whatever she can get her hands on. It's why he left his longbow back then. I don't even remember when he left his longbow behind orz]

[Maybe he should also see about those crossbow plans he'd been working on before meeting up with Perrin...Those'd been what he'd been planning on equipping the Band with for the Last Battle after all, not Two Rivers longbows.]
