I was sat down by the edge of the forest, the supposed home of the masked elf as he was known. He was causing trouble, stealing from locals, getting into fights. I personally think it's all for survival but 'rules are rules' according to our government, sometimes I wish I joined my orphan killing friend on his travels instead of being here, drinking the last of my soup before getting up, dusting off the dirt from my pants, moving my wings around a bit. I mean I was the 'strongest' in their village, by physical or mental?... mental of course but I wasn't scrawny, I could put up a good fight but I was a hunter, a tracker if you will. If I were only strong what good would it do of me? I grabbed some arrows I was messing with and put them back into their holster, sighing before walking into the forest, my bare feet not making a sound. I quickly realised if he was here he was probably living in the trees, giving me a major disadvantage on my spot on the ground. I looked around and up as I walked along, spotting a patch of bright green climbing it's way up a tree, hiding behind some branches, I thought of what to do and walked over to a tree trunk opposite his and lifted my wings before I sat down, closing my eyes, using my own heightened hearing to hear as he came closer, I heard every step, every branch, every breath until I could feel his presence right in front of me. I opened my eyes and grabbed him, not to hard but enough to make him unable to get away, did I mention I was sent here to kill him? No? Alright... he looked at me in shock and started pulling away, fear the main emotion on his face, him having pointed ears with a few piercings that looked really cool

"Calm down, I don't want to hurt you"
"..."

He slowly calmed down, my hands still had a strong grip on him though

"I just want to talk"
"Your trying to KILL ME!?"
"I'm not, I'm not. I don't listen to what the government fucking tells me, who do you think I am?"
"A normal human being?"
"Yea no, define 'normal' "
"Someone who hates elfin"
"Nah, you do it for survival I'm sure, I do the same mate. Times are tough in the village itself, you wanna go after someone go for the rich folk, stay clear of any red or blue houses though, those are dangerous"
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because a few years back I had to hunt to survive, and I still do that"
"Could you... maybe teach me to hunt?"
"Surely you already know?"
"... I mean of course I just need to... learn more! Yea that's it"
"Uh huh sure, we'll start with a bow and arrow, ground first, then we'll go up"
"Okay"

"Right so with this you want to hit preferably the eyes, with humans, if faced in a life or death situation of course, go with the head or heart, eyes also work but it doesn't necessarily kill them, good way to get away though"

I gave him a book a few minutes ago and he went straight to work trying to copy down what I told him, when I looked at the paper his writing was very messy from writing too quickly

"Next we'll talk about different types of arrows and how they affect animals and humans, one - poison, never on an animal your gonna eat, humans will most likely suffer but they probably wouldn't die"
"Uh huh"

...

"You good?"

I'd just knocked Dream to the floor with a long stick, we were training with the equivalent of a sword but it would hardly hurt if it hit you

"Yea... God that hurt"
"Sorry, can you breathe alright?"
"Yea"
"Good, wanna continue?"
"Of course"

I lent him a hand and helped him up, giving him a pat on the back before calling it quits for the day, him gaining quite a big bruise on his chest from the hit

"You'll come back Tomorrow right?"
"Course, I'll just help you get dinner first"
"You don't trust me?"
"I do... maybe"
"Haha, sure let's go!"
