[He tightens his hold on the bowstring, eyes forward on the target. He lets loose, the arrow scrapping the arrows that were already in the tree, but he manages to land a hit. It wasn't quite dead center, but it was close.]

. . . Better.

[ryuwrighthistory]

[He gives himself a breather before bringing back his focus.] Stay with me. [He takes another arrow from his quiver, preparing to take aim again.]

[exchangeable]

I'm not going anywhere.

[ He stays where he is, fingers still curled around his arm and all. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

[He nods. The second arrow will land a hit, and another. They all still keep missing the mark though. The fourth one brings the same result, but Naruhodou will suddenly jerk his head back. For just a second, his vision went dark as he puts his hand over his eyes.]

[exchangeable]

— are you alright?

[ He leans in, concerned. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

I- [He shakes his head. He's not in pain, just that he couldn't see anything for some reason. He blinks several times until his vision slowly returns.] I don't know? [He puts his hand over his eyes again.] Everything went dark all of the sudden.

[exchangeable]

. . . let's stop for now.

[ He squeezes at his arm gently before sliding his hand back, resting it on his shoulder again. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

[He nods, completely in agreement with him this time around. He glances over at the tree with bewilderment, as if it had done something to him.]

We should...take down those arrows. [He's still shaken up, but his vision is at least back to normal.]

[exchangeable]

Sit down and drink something. I'll take care of the arrows.

[ He pulls away from him, heading over to the tree at that. ]

[ryuwrighthistory]

But- [He frowns, but ends up doing as he's told once Asougi moves away from him, settling down where they had been eating. Maybe that's what it was. Maybe he was more tired than he thought and really needed to just call it a day.]

[exchangeable]

[ He pulls the arrows out carefully, putting them back in their quivers once he's finished, and then steps back over to sit down next to him, glancing over at him. ]

. . . Better?

[ryuwrighthistory]

[He puts down his canister, considering Asougi for a moment before slowly nodding.] Like nothing even happened. [He looks understandably confused about it.]

I think...we should practice another time.

[exchangeable]

[ He frowns, then reaches over to put an arm around Naruhodou, pulling him in a bit. ]

We can do that. This is a good spot for it, at least.

[ryuwrighthistory]

...Yea. [He leans into his partner, still at a lost at what had happened.] I'm fine. I made my shots this time at least, so...thank you.

[exchangeable]

. . . mm. You're welcome.
