*I notice that he doesn't seem to care about the question. I feel a bit annoyed, but I don't want to show it. I decide to ask another question, hoping that it will get a response* Do you have a family? A wife, maybe?

*asric doesn't reply, but he never left your side once in three years, so you're guessing "no".*

*I feel a bit bad for him. He seems so lonely and isolated. I try to find a way to cheer him up. I decide to tell him a joke, hoping that it will make him laugh* Do you know why the fisherman caught the fish with a magnifying glass?

*I turn to him, noticing his silence. I get the impression that he is observing me, judging me. I feel a bit uncomfortable. I speak again, in a softer voice* You don't like to talk, do you? *I ask, hoping for a response*

count in the breeze. *he hints out silently.*

*I nod, understanding his advice. I take a deep breath, focusing on the wind and its direction. I shoot again, this time hitting the target in the centre. I smile proudly* Thank you. I was so focused on the target that I didn't consider the wind.
