"Well, thank you Drake!" Evelyn giggled, proud and a bit shy, but soon back to her brave self. Mathias nodded. "It's as good as always. Man, they must have taught you alot in New York...Not as good as Egyptian food from home though." Mathias nodded, humming as he thought of his birthplace in Africa. Egypt had been beautiful...but the U.S was just as nice.
"New York! Known for owa cawfee and food, baby!" Evelyn chuckled in a thick New York accent. Mathias rolled his eyes and looked at Drake. "What a looney." He scoffed as Evelyn huffed at them.

Drake ate his food quietly. He listened to them banter and talk. He was from Florida which was very different from both of their birthplaces. He finished up and set his plate aside.

The arrows where all hand made with bird feathers and simple stone heads, meant more for practicing then actual use of battle. Rainflower smiled filling two quivers with arrows and grabbed a larger bow for her height and strength. "These are a bit different from other arrows I made. I used pine for the shaft not oak or willow." She told her, hoping that they will be strong enough to use.

Blayne nodded her head, watching Rainflower. "That's an interesting choice." She said, picking up an arrow to look at. "Are you really good with a bow?" She asked her, looking back at the centaur.

"I'll take these for you guys." Evelyn winked, taking the plates and moving them to the sink. In her absence, Mathias gazed at Drake, as though searching. In a gruff voice, he observed. "She's fond of you. Friendly. Don't know why, you're the quietest kid I've ever met." He spoke casually, not to offend but to make a humming observation. He chuckled.
"You'd think the opposite, but girls as bright as she is are not as common as people think." He hummed, crossing his arms behind he head and leaning back.

Drake shifted slightly. He looked towards Evelyn, face growing a little red as Mathias talked about her fondnes for him. He looked back at Mathias. "Why is she fond me? I barely speak to her." He shook his head. He looked back towards Evelyn. He felt bad, she was so friendly and free and he was so reserved and awkward.

Rainflower smiled "I am indeed." She replied looking down at the girl before handing her a quiver with arrows she thinks fit her arm length, the feathers being that of a robins she found with a simple stone head. She strapped her quiver onto her waist, blue feathers of a blue jay sticking from the quiver top. She grabbed one of the arm guards and strapped it to her left wrist to protect her arm from the bow string when it snaps back.

"She's fond of many people. I think she's got this ability to see the good...and bad in people. Nemesis, all that stuff, ya know? Those she's fond of...she believes they are good at heart." Mathias shrugged. It was a reason he found her to be a great friend. Because she saw the good in him even when he couldn't see it in himself. He then chuckled.
"That, and she loves a challenge. Loves new things. You, my good man. You, are both of those." Mathias snarked.

Drake pouted a little at him. "How am I a challenge? I'm not a challenge." He scowled. He shook his head. "You're the challenges mister angry all the time." He huffed.
Blayne watched her before grabbing a bow of her own. She pulled and arrow to notch it. She glanced back at her, wanting to see what she could do.

Rainflower grinned "Lets head to the training field." The centaur said, trotting past Blayne. Making sure not to bump into anyone and anything she made her way to the archery range.

Blayne hurried after her. She was kinda excited, centaurs were known for their skills. Being able to train with one would be awesome.

She stopped when she got there and looks around at the targets and trotted over to the target farther away then the rest. "This will do." Rainflower smiled turning and looking at Blayne "Oh... is this length alright with you?" The centaur asked eyes widening a bit.

Blayne nodded her head. "It'll be fine." She told her, looking up at her. "My father is apollo so I have some skills with a bow myself." She told her, ready to go.

"Really? Sweet." Rainflower grinned and pulled out an arrow and notching it to her bow. "Shall we begin?" She asked swinging her lower half to the side to aim better.

Mathias scowled darkly, but nodded. "Yea. You can thank daddy dearest for the hereditary anger issues. He's just mad that everyone liked Athena better." Mathias hissed, but cooled himself down by taking a drink of water. He sighed. "M' workin on it. The anger, ya know. But...if always feels to good to really hit something." He huffed, gripping the table with a splintering grip, instinctively enjoying the cracking sound.

"Sure. After you." Blayne nodded to her. She smiled a little and waited to see what she would do.

Drake's eyes widened. He shifted away from him, a little scared he would hit him. "Yea why don't you keep your hands to yourself big guy. I don't want a black eye and I don't want to have to slice you up." He said, an edge to his voice. Drake was a talented swordsman. Being the son of victory.

She nodded and lifted her arms drawing the string back to her face, she tilted the bow down slightly since she was so tall. Rainflower let the bowstring go after a second, it making a snapping sound as it hit her arm guard, the arrow flying straight and true, hitting the bulls eye. Not dead center the edge of the center circle.

Blayne smirked, watching. She knew she could beat that. She pulled the arrow back and took aim. She lifted her bow slightly to compensate for the bit of wind. She then let the arrow fly, it whizzing through the air. The arrow hit close to dead center. Blayne had inherited her father's prowess with a bow.

Mathias looked at Drake before releasing the table, leaning back calmly again, with a thoughtful scowl gracing his tanned face. "I'll take you up on that swordfighting offer later...A sword is not my axe, but a son of Ares can kill with any weapon...of train, whatever you prefer." He challenged.

"Please don't kill me." Drake stood to inch closer to Evelyn. "I don't want to die." He glared at him. He crossed his arms. He had some ability to influence victory though very minor. Maybe if he concentrated enough he could guarantee a victory for himself.

Evelyn stifled her giggle at the scene, as Mathias smirked wolfishly. "Train it is! Don't worry. I wouldn't kill you. Monster blood is far more preferable...and I've seen you weilding a sword. You're impressive. A son of Ares against a son of Nike. God of War vs God of Victory. The idea is...thrilling." Mathias smirked, as Evelyn cheered.
"Ooh! Like a WWE match with chairs, except with swords!"

"Except I'll win." Drake said, looking at him. "Cause I'm always victorious." He shook his head and looked away to get some water. He didn't want to get slaughtered by the bear that was Mathias.

She then let the arrow fly, it whizzing through the air. The arrow hit close to dead center. Blayne had inherited her father's prowess with a bow. Rainflower nodded with a smile "That really good." She chirped notching another arrow to her string and too aim. "But your not the only one good with a bow." She grinned letting the arrow fly. The arrow slashed through the air, hitting the target dead center and going in deeper then Blaynes did. I hope thats not power playing. Rains really good shot and has been doing archery since she could hold a bow. ))

(No you good. They're half God and mystical so xD)
Blayne pouted slightly. "Not had not bad." She huffed before notching another arrow. She pulled back, aiming the arrow. She let it fly, the arrow sinking into almos the same hole as the first arrow.

Okay, I panicked there for like 5 second like "omg this is power playing!! *has heart attack for a second*" ))
Rain smirked and watched her as she notched her arrow and aimed. She tilted her head slightly "That was nice, you are talented." She grinned. "How do you think my arrows are? Are they any good? I've been making them for a while just no one tells me if they like using them." Rainflower sighed.

"They're not bad." Blayne nodded her head, looking at the the arrows. She looked at her. "I like that they are light. They'll go farther then." She looked at the centuar. She took aim with another arrow.

The centaur smiled again "Great, I'll have to make more then." Rainflower chirped looking out at the target.
I changed Kilroys name to Angelo. ))

"Maybe make a variety though, some light some heavier." Blayne suggested and fired off another arrow. This one was a little off though. "Just for situational purposes."
