Dat Archery though (Daniel)

[Deleted]

It was about that time of the day when things slowed down for the 17 year old son of Apollo. He had done everything needed to be taken care of for the day. Now he had his free opitions.He could go just hang out somewhere like the beach,the lake or even just hang out at the camp's amphitheater. Though no he decided to go practice some more with his archery.

Juton walked in the arena quietly with his bow and arrows. He held his bow in his and while also looking around. After a while he went over to the target intended for the archery and pulled out an arrow. He placed the arrow before pulling the bow string back and released the arrow. He watched as it soared through the air before making impact in the center of the intented target.

Though the 17 year old stopped hearing someone come in. He turned and saw who entered.

Kicking the ground in fury, the angsty child of Ares huffed in vexation. Once more he had eagerly took a friend up on a challenge without putting much forethought into the matter. Was it possible the dim teen would ever properly learn his lesson? In a few days time, he'd be competing in an archery tournament thrown together by his friends. He wasn't briefed on what the award could potentially be, if there even was any, but he automatically assumed he'd at least have temporary bragging rights, which was satisfactory enough for Daniel.

Daniel's massively paw-esque hands proposed a predicament in the world of archery, they lacked a vital fluidity and were naturally unsteady. Precise aiming was impractical and he was convinced it was impossible. Shoving his meaty hands in the abyss of his pockets, he observed the area around him. The arena was only a few feet away from his current position. Knowing it would be wise to practice, he trudged forward, wearing a solemn expression as he glued his eyes on his feet. He had a feeling this distinct episode was going to be stress inducing. With a short fuse, he only hoped he could reign it in and not get outwardly emotional under the careful watch of the public eye.

Lifting his head, Daniel saw a camper strengthening his own archery skills, keeping them sharp. Spectating his performance, Daniel gaped at how smooth the boy made the entirety of the process appear. His own archery was ludicrous. It was as awkward as a young tyke taking their first steps. It took him a few moments to realize his presence had been uncovered. Clearing his throat as he rubbed at the nape of his neck, he shot a toothy grin at the archer. Not wanting to encourage any awkwardness, he walked towards the male. As he drew near, Daniel wracked his brain. The boy was highly familiar, the two had crossed paths on multiple occasions, but Daniel couldn't think of a time they'd been formally introduced. Any attempts to put a name to his face came up unfruitful.

Coming to a halt in front of the other male, Daniel gave him the once-over, noting he was exceedingly attractive. With a coy smile, he gawked lamely as he instinctively clapped the boy on his shoulder, "Nice aim, man," Nibbling on the inside of his cheek, he firmly decided to avoid beating around the bush. This kid clearly had a knack for archery, and Daniel, well, his forte was elsewhere. Shamelessly, he was going to ask for him to be his mentor, to take the Ares boy under his wing and show him the ropes.

Taking a pacific tone, he purred, "You wouldn't happen to be willing to give a few pointers, would 'ya?"

Juton blinked then grinned some. He watched him come over. He knew he'd seen him around maybe run into him at times and yet he never knew his name. Well there's time for that now,he thought.

"Yeah thanks man " He said before he set his bow aside for a moment."The names Juton what's yours?"He asked. He smiled a bit at him quietly.he looked at him for a moment silently when he asked if he could give some pointers.

"Sure I don't mind helping out a fellow demigod"He said. "So Sow me what you know so far " He said.

Speaking in a brisk manner, Daniel grinned at the camper, "No problem, no problem," he chimed with the shake of his head in disbelief, eyeing the arrow that was still lodged into the dead center of the target as he did so. Staring at the extraordinary display of archery slack-jawed, it took him a few moments to process the boy's question. My name? He thought, blinking hard as he was drawn back into their conversation. Oh, right.. "Oh, right," he slurred, adding, "Daniel, it's Daniel," Juton, eh? The name was surely one in million. Playing with the name on his tongue, he murmured it under his breath, "Juton.." Repeating the name a few more times, he added boisterously with an approving nod of his head, "I like it,"

It was all too stress relieving when Juton claimed he'd be up for aiding Daniel in his quest to better his mediocre archery skills. "Oh, thank the Gods!" he exclaimed, his entire body loosening up, letting go of tenseness he had no idea was present. Running a rough hand through his hair, he spoke with a huff, "You just saved me,"

Daniel's euphoria didn't last long. It was shot down rapidly by Juton's wish to spectate Daniel's current level in archery. A fair question, by all means. However, it didn't change the fact that Haven was not up to causing himself humiliation in front of his new mentor so soon. Sighing, he gestured towards Juton's bow, "May I?" not even giving him the opportunity to reply, Daniel plucked up his bow and stole from his stash of arrows. Already, just holding the bow in a neutral position made his clumsiness with a bow apparent. Clearing his throat, he peered at Juton out of the corners of his eyes, desperately trying to gauge his facial expression and get some insight on his current thoughts, but his attempts fell short, the boy giving him nothing whatsoever.

Rolling his shoulders and cracking his stiff neck, Daniel raised the bow and shot. The arrow wobbled through the air as it hit the target with a satisfying thunk! However, it just barely made it onto the target, and the arrow stuck just on the rim of the target. Frowning deeply, his eye twitched in frustration as he spun on his heel to face Juton, folding his arms grudgingly across his chest in discontent. Still, if all went well, hopefully Juton was able to at least see a speck of potential in Daniel.

Juton grinned a bit when he said no problem twice. He noticed him look to his arrow embedded on the center of the target a bit slack jawed. He grinned some "well its great to meet you Daniel. I've seen you around but never knew your name now I do "he said. He listened as Daniel repeated his name a few times before he heard him say he liked it " well thanks it's certainly unique "he said."I like your name as well I don't often hear that name "Juton said. Juton looked at him for a moment before back to his arrow at the target quietly.

Juton blinked when he said thank the gods. He was quiet for a moment.I wonder why he said that, Juton thought quietly. He then blinked when he said he saved him. He blinked for a moment " may I ask how I saved you?"Juton asked. The son of Apollo was quiet as he waited that response.

"Yes of course" Juton said when he tool his bow. He watched intently at his pose and standing form. He frowned watching for a moment. When he looked back at him. Juton knew he had his work cut out for him. Though he could see potential in him somewhere."ok let's start of with your pose "he said
