An inch from the bullseye... "Bloody Gavin... Always such a flirt... " He begins to mumble to himself rather loudly... not knowing that others might be around him... "Surely he understands that my knighthood is as important to me as... as he is with the fine ladies of the court..." He angerly pulls out another arrow from his quivver... sloppily putting it on the string... and taking it back... "Eight eyes with the Flirt... and still... no progress... " He clenches his teeth together as he draws the arrow back... "Has been made whatso.." He Lets the arrow go... it hitting the bullseye straight on... tossing the bow aside he walks up to the target yanking the arrows out... he then walks back to his area... looking up with his hazel eyes seeing others around him his ears turn bright pink.... and he looks to the ground... suddenly shy.... (yet simply adorable...)

Making her way into the Courtyard, dark eyes scan the area slowly. As her gaze falls upon Tate her lips curve into a friendly smile and she slowly glides over to him. Catching some of his words, then noticing the blush, she stiffles a giggle. "Hello again Tate! How do you fair this lovely morn?" (NT) Maria 09:46:54 04/01/01 Sun

He looks up and gives a slight smile... "I am fine.. I suppose.. " He brushes his black hair back nervously.. "And you, fair Maria?" (NT) -- Master Tate, 15:02:30 04/01/01 Sun

"I am fine also." Pausing, she glances towards the two that had just entered. Sending them a quick wave as she reconizes them, she then returns her attention to Tate. Taking notice of the bow in his hands, her black eyes flash with curiousity. "How are you doing with your practise.... If you do not mind my asking." Keeping her tone soft and words casual so as not to make him any more nervous than he already, she smiles once again. (NT) -- Maria, 16:51:36 04/01/01 Sun

"Oh, I am doing fine... " His young Hazel eyes look back to the bullseye... tilting his head.. "Although I would do alot better with Gavin around.." He looks back to Maria... his eyes flashing from the ground to her eyes... (NT) -- Master Tate, 18:11:33 04/01/01 Sun

Nodding slowly, she sends him an encouraging smile. "Maybe.... But from what I have seen you are doing wonderfully. Much better than I could, I am sure!" Black eyes sparkle as she pulls her long braid over her shoulder and idly begins fiddling with the end of it. (NT) -- Maria, 12:45:21 04/02/01 Mon

He blushes even deeper... "Do not say such things madam... " he turns away and then turns back... (NT) -- Master Tate, 13:56:31 04/02/01 Mon

Tilting her head a bit, she tosses the braid back over her shoulder...then clasps her hands behind her back. "Oh... but it is true! You are doing wonderfully. And I have used a bow only once... so I am not very good. I need practise I suppose... But I doubt I will ever be all that good at archery." Giving a slight shrug, her tone is cool and soft as she speaks. (NT) -- Maria, 14:29:15 04/02/01 Mon

He sets down his bow and then takes off his wrist gaurd... Feeling more comfortable with her he looks up and asks... "Would you like to try?"... and he stops untiying the leather... "Maybe I could show you?" (NT) -- Master Tate, 14:49:49 04/02/01 Mon

Hesitating, she eyes the bow for a moment...contemplating on if she should try it again or not. Then deciding that she might as well, she nods. "Alright! Kat showed me a few things... Though I must admit that I can not remember everything. I tend to be forgetful at times." Giving a rather sheepish smile, she laughs softly. (NT) -- Maria, 14:46:36 04/02/01 Mon

He nods.. "Alright..." He says looking straight at her... then reties the leather and then picks up his bow... taking a bow in his hand he lies his arm straight out... the bow on top of his arm... the string facing him... taking the bow he puts it in the string... He looks to Maria with his hazel eyes... "You see?" (NT) Master Tate 17:40:38 04/02/01 Mon

Watching carefully so she does not forget again, Maria nods slowly... dark eyes resting their gaze for a breif moment on his face before quickly returning it to the bow in his hands. "Yes, I see." Falling silent once again, she patiently awaits him to continue. (NT) -- Maria, 18:31:14 04/02/01 Mon

She watches with innocent curiosity as the young apprentice teaches the noblewoman to shoot a bow. Her ice blue eyes reflect the happenings around her, but her main interest is upon the boy and woman. She leans coolly against a marble pillar not much more than 10 feet away,able to see everything. She smiles and continues watching,not wanting to intrude upon anything though. (NT) -- Lady Shanteral, 21:17:02 04/02/01 Mon

He smiles and nods... taking the bow in his hands... steping up the line... a safe distance from Maria... His german voice then speaks out... its proud and kind... only a few here at the tor have heard it... "And now... taking it in your hands... you pull the string firmly to your ear... Lining the arrow against the top of your index finger.. which grips the bow... " He looks back... "Got it?" (NT) -- Master Tate, 14:29:58 04/03/01 Tue

Spotting the lady nearby, the young girl of sixteen gives a polite nod before returning her attention to Tate. Tucking an annoying strand of ebony hair behind a small ear, she nods slowly...going over his words in her head before speaking. "Yes... I got it." Taking note of the change in his tone a small smile appears upon her lips...dark eyes flashing happily at the fact he was finally relaxing. (NT) -- Maria, 17:43:01 04/03/01 Tue

He nods... "Bring the string to your ear... " He does so... "Aim... and let... " He lets the string go... "Go... " The arrow hits just outside the bullseye... Nodding he turns to Maria... putting the bow doen and taking off his wrist gaurd... tightning it up slightly to make sure it will fit her... "Would you like to try now?"
