His fingers carefully counted through the quiver, making extra sure he knew the exact amount of arrows held within. One of the worst things was going to reach for an arrow in the middle of a busy fight and your fingers finding nothing. Which was why he tried to make a conscious effort to remember how many arrows he had burned through, and always made sure to retrieve any he'd gone and left in any corpses.

There were always risks involved with his line of work, and no one could ever tell him that a job was 100% foolproof without lying through their damn teeth about it. Or maybe they truly believed that, in which case they were fools. So, he supposed he was grateful that he wasn't just being lied to, or maybe this one was just more self-aware than others in the field.
As Jock sat back and went over the job, Abelen once more sent a glance across the table at the man he was being paired up with. Though, the gaze was accompanied by a small snort,

How far is this place?Hopefully it wouldn't require too much of a trek, he really couldn't be bothered for a nightly stroll right now.
