It was a surprise for Mytho to discover that Raven was an archer and he certainly had never expected Hotaru to tell him that Raven was practising at the archery range that morning. He had never actually seen her fight before and so he certainly wasn't prepared for the sight of the former duck standing confidently with a silver bow in her hand and a quiver full of several arrows over her shoulder. The weapons certainly looked out of place considering she was in a dark blue sundress and brown gladiator sandals.
"Good morning sleeping beauty" she greeted him with a wide grin that barely masked the worry in her gaze.
"Good morning Raven. I'm a bit afraid to ask this but what's with the weapons."
"A girl has to be able to protect herself Mytho-" she winked "-not everyone gets a knight in shining armour or a beautiful dancing princess to watch over them."
At that he snorted.
"I'm sure if you asked he wouldn't mind protecting you."
Raven's ice blue eyes flashed with something akin to regret for a second, her bright smile never faltering.
"He has his own girl to occupy his time with. Nah don't worry about little old me I can take care of myself just fine."
With that she got into a confident stance, notched an arrow and pulled the drawstring back showing off her surprising strength. Aiming carefully the arrow flew swiftly flew the air and landed dead centre in the middle of the target.
"Somehow I don't doubt that" he replied causing her grin to become wider as she lowered the bow and offered it to him.
