Target Practice
Eiltin was doing some target practice off to the side at the defenders compound. He was currently practicing with a sling though had been practicing with his spear earlier. He was whipping small stones with the sling at a target fifty yards away from him at or sometime above the speed of most bullets.

Ruarc wasn’t far from him relaxing in the warm sun seeming deceptively unaware.

Eiltin smiled. "Very well," He says as he picks up the harp.

He plucks a few strings before he starts his tale. Since he had gotten there when the battle was underway he had gotten the began information from the others. But when he got to the parts he had witnessed first hand the tale really shined. The way he made the music work perfectly with his words expertly chosen seemed to have some sort of power to it and really showed why Eiltin wasn't all that impressed with TV and Movies when he grew up with the tales of the bards of Avalon.
