Lucy took some time to ponder at what gear he would neat. The woodsman was already fairly well equipped, but even he understood the importance of good gear in the heat of battle. His own bow would serve him well enough when it came to fighting, after all he'd made it himself and improved it's draw weight with time, carving a new bow as he felt his strength and efficiency improve with every hunt. But what would he need? Bowstrings of course, as poor weather or a nasty blade could quickly drive an archer into the corner, unable to use their preferred weapon until they could find a new string.
His blade was also good enough for hunting and carving, but may not stand up in the field of battle. A shortsword would do him well...hopefully there would be someone who could teach him how to use it, but even just getting a feel for it would be better than relying on a hunting knife against an axeman or a spear wielder. Lucy would...just have to hope he wasn't in range for anything, spears would especially be dangerous for Rose's health, and the last thing Lucy wanted was his lifelong friend to meet a sticky end on a spear.
Lucy's attention was brought back to the room by the familiar "thwing" of a string, followed by a hard thunk as arrow reached wood. He glanced over to the mushroom girl...Mion was her name. She had seemingly shot at the general, perhaps intentionally missing or maybe her aim was off. Still, she had done a transgression too great to ignore, even for the simple huntsman. Stalking up the Mion, the huntsman loomed before her, reaching out he quietly grabbed her shoulder, applying a firm grip...
and pushed it slightly down.
"When you shoot, make sure to keep your shoulder down. It sticks out, more power this way. Stronger shot."
after fixing the flaw with Mion's shooting, Lucy returned to making his selection, before grabbing three bow strings, an extra bow, and a short sword. He also took two more quivers, after all...the last thing he wanted was to run out in the middle of a fight.
Content with his inventory, Lucy nodded to the others, and then walked out of the room, heading towards the stables. He wanted to tend to rose, since after all he wasn't quite confident in the stable boys here, he wanted to make sure his friend was being well taken care of.
