"Training?" I placed my daggers on the nearby table "For how long have you been using the bow and quiver?"

"Since I started training"

"Wow nice, but why only bow and arrow and not swords?"

"well, everyone trained with swords, someone had to be different right? Besides, I never liked the blades, didn't go well with me"

"yeah right, for someone as tall as your bow and arrow makes you look more intimidating than seraph blades,"  I said under my breath as he stopped and looked my way 

"you said something?" 

"uh yeah, just wanted to ask where you preferred to hit when it comes to demons, I have heard they can be killed by aiming at either the head, chest, or heart" I changed the question quickly 

"Chest actually, because that's how far I have been with my bow" He answered fixing his bow

"Seriously?" He shoot an arrow at the target as I threw my dagger at the center of the target

"you can stop judging me," he said as he shot another one 

"I'm not judging anyone" I walked up to the target to withdraw my dagger from it smiling 

"You had that judging face when I spoke. So I know" he said as we both looked and smiled.

"Sorry for not judging, knowing a guy who's been training with this all his life and still can't get a perfect shot? " I said as I laughed and kept my dagger away

"Mind if I try?" I asked walking over to him as he nodded

"You know how to use it?" he asked as I nodded, set the bow, and pointed it at the target.

Took a deep breath and fired and the arrow shot the left side of the target assumed to be ahead.

"Wow, how did you do it?"

"Practice, years of it. I was always trained to be ready to defend myself and kill anytime" I said handing him his bow back

"Can you teach me that?" he asked me as I glanced at him and nodded

"Sure " I nodded "Can you tell me why you haven't been able to aim at the heart or straight for the head?"

"Well demons move a lot so you can't get a straight hit, and the pressure of pulling the string does leave my body a little shaken" he explained

"hmm, understandable, but you need to focus if your focus is strong then no matter how much the person moves, your shot won't miss. I can teach you a trick, but you might want to practice this shaking up." I explain

He nodded, grabbed another arrow, and set the bow in range.

I walked to him"Now ease out, your body's too stiff," placing my one hand on top of his and the other on his bicep, I made him lighten his grip a little on the arrow from his hand instructing him.

Pressing his shoulder area and moving it to his elbow "This area of your hand is quite stiff, try to relax it a little and take a deep breath" I told him the pressure points as I could feel his muscles while moving.

He nodded as we made eye contact with my hand still lingering on his shoulder, "Shoot" I said as he let go of the arrow with his eyes still staring into mine as the arrow hit the target.

I saw we were gazing at each other more. "Shit, I made it awkward I shouldn't have gotten this close. What might he be thinking of me right now?"

I took a step back and looked at the target, the arrow hit the center of the head "Not bad, still way to go" Withdrawing the arrow from it.

"You think so?" He asked putting his bow down
