( Perhaps an indication that the projectiles would, indeed, be "mixed up," is Herian setting down the basket at her feet. She gathers up a few pieces at once, and waits for a nod of confirmation that Cosima is ready before resuming.
Cosima was entirely correct; the Venatori would not wait for comfort or readiness. The time would come when training would have to intensify, once the shield was an easy reflex. Building proficiency and confidence must come first.
Once she has the nod from Cosima, the driftwood projectiles are faster and harder. Just a couple at first, then three in quick succession and much harder. It continues, until she throws one that seems poorly aimed, before it ricochets off a pillar and towards Cosima's back. )
