Slings and Arrows

Characters: Darkleer and Equius
Date: October 21st, shortly after the invasion
Format: Action spam
Content Warnings: None
Summary: Equius really wants to learn to shoot arrows, and Darkleer has agreed to tutor him.

[Equius' first task was to find a 'field' for them to shoot. Considering they're in a cave, that's not quite a straightforward job, but he delves into the caves outside the city, past the farmland hydroponics, where the sensitive equipment could be destroyed by wayward arrows and frustrated, raging trolls.

Finally he comes to an empty cave that's quite high-ceilinged and long. Long enough to be an archery field.

He texts Darkleer with the directions to the spot, and sits down to wait]

[Whatever, Equius, he was only putting his hand on your shoulder so Boris could climb back on him! That little squeeze before he lets go is strictly your imagination!]

Yes.

D ---> We will meet again in three day's time
D ---> You will continue to practice in the interim
D ---> Use both hands
D ---> Draw and release until it is as natural as breathing

[Equius bows deeply, not knowing what else to do. He sort of wants to hug Darkleer, but that wouldn't be dignified, would it? Nepeta would hug him, and probably lick him, but Equius definitely can't do that.]

Thank you, sir. I won't disappoint you, I swear.

[Yes, please don't hug Darkleer. Tavros tried that once, and it was super awkward and weird.]

[Darkleer inclines his head back at Equius--a mutual sign of respect--and nods at his statement.]

I know you will not.

[Then the void starts to swirl up around him as he makes his departure.]
