Archery 101 [Friday, Second Period]

Clint was practically bouncing as he watched everyone file into the Danger Shop. "Hi guys. And gals, I should say, since that's most of you," and yes, that delighted Clint quite a bit. "This is archery class, so if you're in the wrong place, well, you're welcome to stay because I say the more the merrier. I know you're probably tired of the introduction thing by now, but I want to make sure I get everyone's name and I'd like to know how much experience you have with a bow, if any."

Then, Clint motioned to a table of assorted recurve and longbows, all set up but with no arrows yet. There would be time to shoot things once he had a better idea of what and who he was working with. "These are some of the bows we'll be working with. Go ahead and check them out and see how they feel. Everyone's got their own style that they like, and if you happen to have a bow of your own, you can bring that for class."

The end of introduction week is nigh!

"Hey, I'm Alex," she said to the class. "And I don't have much experience with a bow."

Other weapons, yes, but the bow was new.

"That's totally fine, that's why the 101 part is there," Clint said. "What made you decide on this class? If you heard nice things about me, you can totally say so."

Sorry Alex, your teacher was kind of a smug weirdo sometimes.

"Yeah, that's exactly it," Alex said with a little smirk. "And also, shooting arrows seems like a useful skill to have."

"Alec Lightwood," Alec said. "As you know. I'd say I'm... intermediate to advanced?"

"I'd say that as well, inching ever closer to advanced," Clint agreed with a smile. "If we get more angry vegetables flying around, you might get there sooner than later."

"I'm Natalie Adams," Natalie introduced herself, mostly addressing the other students. Clint knew who she was. "I took up archery about six months ago, and am okay enough to at least hit some flying chili peppers, provided they swarm close enough together. And I'm the TA for this workshop."

"Snow White," Snow said. "I don't have any experience, but I want to learn."

For great country-liberating reasons.

"Great, then you've come to the right place," Clint said. "Are you looking more for recreation or hunting purposes?"

He'd learned to ask that question around here.

"I must learn the arts of warfare if I'm to take back my kingdom from Queen Ravenna," Snow said.

Maybe she should've stuck with "hunting."

"Ah, I see," Clint said, getting a little more appropriately solemn. "There are a lot of strong warrior types around, most of whom would probably be willing to help you. We can't have kingdoms in the wrong people's hands, after all. Is that why you came to Fandom?"

"The magpies led me here," Snow said. "I know that must sound very strange, but they helped me escape and brought me to a blue circle of light. My big sibling called it a portal."

"Believe it or not, I've heard stranger things involving portals," Clint said. "But now I'm especially glad you're here, and in one piece too."

"Thank you," Snow said. "Everyone here has been so generous and kind." It was hard to wrap her mind around sometimes, given the past ten years.

"I'm Zee," she said on her turn. "And I've never used a bow, either, but I have decent aim when I'm throwing stuff."
