Archery Workshop #3, 6/6, Danger Shop, Afternoon

[deadly_little]

The Danger Shop was set up much like it had been the week before: outdoors, targets, bows, quivers, except this time the arrows have the more traditional points on them, as opposed to suction cups. There is no blackboard, as Miho is being optimistic and hopes her students are smart enough to figure out what to do. The sign-in sheet is on a folding table near the entrance.

Miho prowls up and down the line of students, a pad of detention slips and a pen in hand and a tiny, very scary smile on her face. She was initially going to give the whole class detention just for the heck of it, but Goldie said she didn't think teachers were allowed to do that.

"Booyah!" Buffy said appreciatively.

Dawn started giggling and eventually had to lower her arrow so she didn't shoot someone by accident.

Buffy grinned back. "What?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You." It occurred to her she'd never seen Buffy have fun while training. "You actually seem to like it."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

"Well, yeah." Buffy looked puzzled for a moment, then held up an arrow and grinned. "Sharp, pointy, flying fatality! Wooosh!"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

More giggling. "God, you're all kinds of bloodthirsty."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

"Nooooo..." Buffy attempted to look innocent. "Just because I'm sometimes shooting things and hitting Alec things and staking things, doesn't mean I really like it a lot." She pulled the arrow back and let it fly. "...Well. Maybe a little."

"Favorite weapon?" Dawn asked, releasing her own arrow and frowning as she missed the heart again. "I mean, you're on a desert island, surrounded by vampires and demons, and you only get one. Which do you pick?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

"Stake," Buffy decide after thinking about it. "'Cause eventually I'd run out arrows, and blades would become dull, but pointy stakes are always pointy and I'm generally holding them."

Dawn grinned a bit wickedly, not really surprised by Buffy's answer. "Okay, so boys. Who's more your type? Blonde, kinda short and nerdy, or tall, dark, and broody? Both guys are built, although the blonde guy's more compact and the dark guy's bulkier. Both are utterly devoted."

Hey, there was serious money riding on this back home. She'd be able to buy herself a new wardrobe.

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

That one was trickier. "Do they have to be nerdy and broody? Can't they be fun and possibly with a car?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn snorted. Hey, they were Buffy's choices. "Occasionally fun? And I think they both have cars, though I'm not sure and they're probably black."

Buffy gave her a slightly suspicious look. "These are hypothetical guys, right?"

Dean chuckled. "I take it you're as happy as I am to get rid of the suction cups."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Ya-huh!" Buffy nodded happily. She watched him shoot a few arrows. "You're pretty good at this."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean grinned. "Thanks. You seem to have got the hang of it too."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

Buffy hmmmed at that. "I don't know. I mean, I hit the target a lot, but I don't know if I'd hit something moving."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I like you, Buffy, but I'm not about to offer to go down and run the target around so you can find out," he teased. "Maybe we'll get moving targets next week."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"What, not even one itty bitty round?" Buffy pouted playfully. "And you call yourself a man."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I do. And I'd like to remain a man and not a pin cushion."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

Buffy remembered something Sam had said, and her eyes lit up. "Are you saying you're... chicken?"

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Chicken to let a Slayer shoot arrows at me?" Dean snorted. "Absolutely."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Damn. Sam lied to me." Buffy pouted again. "Or is it not working because I'm a girl? 'Cause that's very sexist of you."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Is what not working?" Dean asked, shaking his head in confusion. And what made him think he could actually have a conversation with Buffy where he didn't end up doing that?

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"The chicken thing," Buffy explained. "Sam said that if someone littler than you called you chicken, you'd have to do it." She frowned. "He might've just said it because he kissed Anakin."
