Legolas
I stood there transfixed Laurelin beautiful in her determination, she slowed her set and release probably so that I could correct her if need be. I moved then to stand behind her to see if there was anything I missed in the previous view. Sometimes if you changed your viewpoint you saw something you had missed previously. She let loose her seventh arrow splitting another one straight down the middle. It had taken me years to be able to perfect splitting arrows. Before she strung the next arrow I spoke,
"Laurelin the only thing I see that needs improvement is that you get nervous in the release of your arrows causing them to waver. Imagine Mage Laurelin that the bow is a part of your arm and that you control completely where it goes and what it shall strike. It will not strike what you do not wish it to. Now with that in mind Laurelin, Let the Arrows fly." So she did only this time her concentration nor the arrow faltered. Five arrows flew straight and true through the air splitting their predecessors and I knew without even looking that my own arrow was standing straight and true aiming itself at Laurelin. At this point I was glad my leggings were at least a little roomy and that my shirt fell well below him. I cleared my throat rather loudly trying to get some semblance of control over myself. My lover of her and her trust of me overrode any lust or desire I was feeling but the fellow in leggings begged to differ. She turned to me then with her bottomless leafy green eyes.
"How was that, did I do good?" she questioned me softly wanting approval from the elf she trusted with her very being.
"Good you did great, Fantastic I have never ever seen a beginner shoot with such speed and accuracy are you sure you've never used a bow before?" I praised her struggling to keep the husky tone out of my voice all the while I felt stabs of lust twisting my insides upside down. I would have to leave soon or else risk losing her trust and friendship forever. She blushed becomingly under my compliments. She mumbled a sweet thanks.
"Will you teach me more Legolas" she asked. Her completely innocent question made my already swollen member jump and grow bigger if that were possible. Apparently he wanted to teach her much more than she was asking for. Biting back a groan I said,
"I will but not tonight we must both seek our beds and rest for tomorrow will be a long and taxing journey for everyone, so I am going to head back to the main house and will see you early on the morrow friend." I tried to make it seem like everything was normal and was failing miserably. She nodded and bade me a safe return and a good rest. Taking my cue I quickly gathered my things turned on my heel and walked leisurely until I was out of Laurelin's sight. Once out of her sight I bolted into a run through the woods.
Laurelin
As I watched Legolas go I felt a heavy burden settle on my heart. I had displeased him in some way. My archery lacked horribly compared to his in fact he almost seemed embarrassed by me. I felt so stupid I could cry . How could I even consider that I could impress one such as him, he was my friend nothing more and nothing less. He didn't want to hurt me that was all it was.
