Utterly enchanted by Tempest's show of archery prowess, Henry couldn't help staring. Being a 13-year-old, she made up for her lack of experience in weaponry with a deep fascination. The second shot colliding with a distant cabin made Henry let out a genuine bark of laughter, the first in a long time. The journey to Camp had been scary and tiresome, and the threats she had faced along the way even more so. While Camp still felt alien and unwelcoming, there were aspects of it that beckoned Henry; the scenery, the protection, and Tempest. "Who knows? Maybe we're sisters." "The cabins are all bullseyes as far as I'm concerned," grinned Henry, taking up a bow and arrow from the basket at the start of the firing range. She didn't like to admit her inexperience, but she had never held a bow before. Determined to appear competent, Henry copied Tempest's posture and loosed an arrow. It missed the target entirely, dropping to the grass feet before the target. "Fuck," she muttered, blushing red at her failure.

At Henry's earnest words, Henry laughed, a light-hearted and genuine sound that echoed through the archery range. "Badass?" she said. "Hmmm I guess that's one way to look at it." She shrugged, her features relaxing into a gentle smile. It was a rare sight, one that Henry would soon learn was seldom bestowed upon others. Tempest couldn't help but appreciate Henry's perspective. She'd never considered her lineage as something badass or cool. Most people viewed Nemesis, the goddess of vengeance, with a sense of trepidation, if not outright fear. It was a nice change, to hear it referred to as something positive. Picking up a bow that lay discarded on a nearby rack, Tempest twirled it around with a practiced ease. Taking a deep breath, she nocked an arrow and drew the string back, her eyes fixed on the target in the distance. Tempest released the arrow, watching as it flew through the air and hit the target. It wasn't a bullseye, but it was close. "Hermes, huh?" Tempest echoed, turning her attention back to Henry. She laughed again, this time a bit louder. "Well, I suppose it could be worse. You could be in the Ares cabin. They smell like a mixture of sweat, iron, and misplaced testosterone. I wouldn't worry too much though. With a mouth like yours, I don't think you'll be there for long." she teased. Another arrow left her bow, shot with more force than precision, flying way above the target and hitting a cabin in the distance. An echo of a thud followed by a surprised yelp made her grin slightly. "Well, that was not intended but still funny" she admitted, glancing sideways at Henry. "Ever held a bow, cub?" she asked, already knowing the answer. She proffered the longbow towards Henry, a dare in her gaze. "How about I show you how to shoot? Don't worry, I'll make sure you don't hit any cabins," she said with a wicked grin.

Upcoming Delays As many of you know, ShadowsOverScotland and Lilythe will be getting married on July 28th. DUDEITSBRITT will be in attendance at the wedding. Since we've had a staff member step down recently, that means that there will only be one staff member around to monitor the site for the bulk of the day. We ask that you be understanding during this time. What does that mean? It means that many of the tasks around here that require staff will take a bit longer than normal. Applications require 2 staff members. We don't have 2 staff members... Applications likely will not be reviewed between July 22nd and August 1st. Please be patient with us! Since the remaining staff member is a Moderater and not Admin or Global Mod, they don't have access to the ACP... So sorting member groups, awards, and drachmae distribution will be on hold after July 22nd until DUDEITSBRITT is back in the states. Really, all we're asking is that you please be patient. Lilythe and ShadowsOverScotland deserve to have a relaxing wedding with their friend DUDEITSBRITT in attendance without the site going to chaos. We will be back to everything as scheduled as soon as we can be. We appreciate your patience in this matter.
