[OOC: hello I'm late but happy to be finally kicking these two off hehe]
[Charlie stands clean of arrow-powder only because he's just been escorted onto the range. He'd insisted to the casino staff guiding him that he's really not fast, he'd be too boring of a target-
Only to be told that some people like easy victories.
He's one of those people, and when he's abandoned with a pat to the shoulder, Charlie quickly looks around for a quick-fix of his own. The sound of fireworks crackles over the field; he recognizes it from a near bidding-war earlier in the week. A brusque boy with a loud mouth stepping in to help people without even being asked-
So when he's asked, he'll certainly come to the rescue, right?]
Hey! You!! [It's difficult to yell over the explosions, but Charlie manages (read: he's a loud guy too).] P-protect me, okay?
There's no way I'm dodgin those things! [While this is true, Charlie is absolutely playing up how much like a wet, pathetic rat he looks. He gestures to his smaller frame, then demonstrates some pretty pathetic footwork in shuffling to one side away from an arrow passing several feet wide.
So long as he can stay away from the fire too, this is a great plan-]
