Closed [Archery Range] Just Breathe

[Loggan]

-----

It felt like there was a hot coal rising inside of her and wanted to come out. Her blue-grey eyes became wide with astonishment as she simply stared at Azira dumbfounded. "Really..." She just couldn't comprehend it all at this moment. Every word that the Avora spoke only made her fade out of it more and more. Her breath came out slowly and with a little force as if she was having problems getting the air out of her lungs. She might have snapped the arrow twisting in her fingers if she had not snapped to.
Calm down and don't act like a child! Loggan scolded herself; brushing her hair out of her face at an attempt to calm the pounding nerves.

"I would love that, truly. I am ever so grateful for such an offer. I promise I will work hard and do my best. You won't be let down by me." And that was when she smile started to form, growing big and strong on her pale face. Truly she was so happy all she wanted to do was take off running and scream out her joy until there was no voice left inside of her. Sure, this was not an apprenticeship; but it was pretty damn close to being one. "Thank you Azira."

Loggan looked truly stunned. It was as if this was the most shocking thing that anyone could ever have offered her. Azira found herself worrying a little about the girl's sanity. The youth wasn't breathing properly either and her gaze seemed to be becoming more glazed by the tick. The huntress wondered if she'd managed to break her somehow.

Then just like that, the girl seemed to return to her senses. The Avora smiled at her then, feeling a little off balance because of her sudden change. Loggan had obviously just been a little shocked, that's all but now she'd been fine, right? The teen hoped so.

"Glad to hear it. Nobody gets anywhere by slacking off. And you're welcome," she replied, her smile warmer this time, any signs of uncertainty gone from her expression. "It will be soon...well as soon as I can manage it but I will try to make time if I can. The sooner we start, the better. You be ready, all right?"

Her eyes strained on Azira she was a little startled to see the looks she was getting from the older girl. Was she thinking something was wrong? Perhaps Loggan was reacting to this all wrong? Should she have been less excited; more calm about it all? She had to relax a little. She did not want to scare the Avora away. A little excitement was ok, but she needed to control herself from this point on. Spotlight was on, time to get serious.

Once Azira smiled a little Loggan felt better. Perhaps her reaction to the news had been a little.....much. She was just happy that's all. Her own smile widening Loggan nodded. "Oh yes of course. I will be ready whenever you call." She did not like waking up really early, but if this required such hours she had no problem with such a thing. Perhaps all of her hoping, dreaming and hard work was finally paying off. Perhaps now she could achieve one of her goals and actually move forward in her life.

There wasn't anything more that the huntress could say to the Yasi. The girl had accepted the offer that earlier this morning, Azira had had no idea she would be making. The youth had even agreed to come whenever she was called. That was a good sign but the young woman wondered if the girl really had the conviction to becoming a hunter. She'd find out soon enough she supposed.

"Right then, that's settled. I will come looking for you soon. As for the moment, you can return to your shooting or whatever and I will go off hunting. Hopefully I'll actually catch something," she summarised, muttering the last part as if talking to herself. She nodded in acknowledgement to Loggan and to the Chiet man when he caught her eye and walked from the range, her mind full of possibilities.

She was taking a second Yasi under her wing but unlike Erade, Loggan certainly seemed to have more potential. Her life was going to becoming amazingly busy in the near future. Bringing Yasi hunting, teaching a Symenestra how to use a short bow and perhaps, she might just try to make amends with that hunter she'd sliced up. She had all that ahead of her along with hunting, archery and reading. What a busy season this was going to be.

Azira's mind might have been full of possiblities; but Loggan's was teeming over. The moment her back was turned to the Avora a grin wider then a child's spread across her pale face. Her grip around the single arrow tightened and she hugged it close to her body. Ah yes! This was what she had been waiting for. Well.....not exactly but it would do. It was like there was a fire burning inside of her at this moment. Loggan felt as if she could run around the whole mountain and back. She just wanted to scream and jump and gloat. Keep it calm!

In taking a large breath she cooled her nerves and glanced around at the other Yasi. Some were casting her looks while other tried their hand at the bow with less luck then Loggan herself. So the redhead could not help but feel justified at the smug smile that stayed on her visage as she walked back to her target to finish the days shooting.
