Crow wrote: Sirius walks in with his bow in hand and a quiver full of arrows on his back. The Celestial Bronze tips on the arrows glowed in the sunlight. It made the tips looks as if they were made of light. It was a really nice day considering it was January. The last few days had been dreary and snowy, but it was finally sunny out and warm. . . well for winter standards. The boy takes out one arrow and starts to aim at a target as we waits for Miranda to show up. He told her he would meet her here, but she wasn't there yet. Maybe she forgot . . . no . . . she left with him. He just had to take a detour to his bunk to grab his bow. She should have made it here first. Odd...

Miranda walked in to the archery range, with her bow and arrows in her hand. She saw Sirius up ahead. She thought that she would make it there first. Well, she had to go to the mess hall to grab some food quickly. She must've taken really long. She hoped he wouldn't be annoyed at her for being late. She walked up to the target next to Sirius and shot an arrow at it. It hit the center, like always. She put down her bow and turned to Sirius. "Sorry I'm late. I had to go grab a snack at the mess hall. I was a bit hungry. I thought it took like five minutes, I guess I was wrong." She told him, a bit guilty. Her bow was behind her with her quiver on her back. Her face looked a bit sad and scared because Sirius might yell at her.

"its ok" i smile at her and notch a arrow.

"Well lets try to get at least one arrow in the targetl"

i smile and pull back the bow "ready?"

Right before Miranda showed up, Sirius let loose his arrow and it hit the blue ring around the target. He was getting there. He had definitely gotten better compared to three years ago when he first tried archery with Miranda. It was hard for him to grasp. He never knew actually where to aim. Modern bows had sights and all that fancy stuff, but not here. Here it was just the wood and string.

When Miranda gets there, Sirius puts his bow through his left arm and hangs it on his shoulder. He scans Miranda's face as she tells him that she was hungry and had to stop at the mess hall. Why did she look so scared? What did Sirius do now? He didn't ever want Miranda to look as scared and saddened as she was now. What she afraid of though? Was there someone around that hated her? No, it couldn't be why. She was nice to basically everyone she met, or so the son of Aristaios thought. Maybe though, was she scared of him?

'It's fine. We all get hungry at times,' Sirius begins. 'Can you answer me a question? Why do you look so scared? Miranda . . . I will never get angry at you. I'm not like that. You don't need to be so frightened,' he finishes with a small smile on his face. He wanted her to see. See that he wasn't one who was going to be mean to her. He was her boyfriend for the gods sake. He would never even think of being harsh to her.

OOC: One liners, one liners everywhere. xD

I walked in. Gods how i hate archery. I loaded the bow and ignoring everyone else i shot the arrow.

"1...2...3..." I let go of the string.

Miranda looked at Sirius, wiping the look off her face and trying to act like nothing happened. "S-s-sorry." She replied, looking around absentmindedly. She was the worst faker in the history of the world, so she just sighed. She stepped back a bit with her hands behind her back. She felt sweat in her hands and turned to the target a few yards in front of her. She aimed her bow at the target.

She shot the bow and it landed outside the bullseye. She gasped at the arrow. Maybe it was just her. People make mistakes, right? She shot the arrow again and it hit outside of the target. Concetrate, Miranda. She thought to herself. She looked at the bullseye, raised her bow, and shot the arrow. It landed on the area just outside the bullseye. Was the archery skill fading away from her? Maybe it was because she was nervous. She could try again later when she came back. She put the arrow she was about to shoot back into her quiver and face Sirius.

"Look, I'm just really nervous you're going to leave me again. I was miserable without you with me." She told him, finally calm again. After she released her thoughts, she felt fine.

pretty self explanatory its target practice for cabin 25
