Welcome to Gaia! ::

Heh. Oh ho ho, certain kinds of women. At least he's not gay. Nobara shrugged, and moved towards the front entrance of the training hall, opening the door and walking back in. The smell of sweat and other assorted objects immediately came to her nose; she certainly hadn't smelled THAT before. Raising her upper lip, she took the bow off of her back and held it ready in her left hand.

"Yeah. So... now what? I'm not going to sit and watch you perform fancy circus sword tricks."

"Fine.." She said slowly, walking past him, her hair touching his face a little. "I'm going to the archery room. Do whatever you want." Nobara whiffed her hand around as if she didn't car what he did, and began walking down the hallway, swinging her bow from side to side. Once she reached the area, she sighed and took out an arrow, nocking it and aiming it, finally releasing. Unfortunately, the arrow struck her upper forearm, and she winced, gasping slightly; the band tying it all together was made out of a stiff material.. and her arm quickly became red.

Dropping her bow on the ground in the empty room, Nobara sat along the wall, looking at her injury. It was a common thing for archers; she had just forgetten to rotate her elbow out. Nevertheless, it hurt like hell, and a welt was beginning to form.

"I'm FINE." She lied. It was a bad lie, too, since the welt was turning a deeper shade of red. She smirked and stood up, facing Kuro. "An archer's got to deal with these things. It's no biggy." Ignoring his help, Nobara turned away and picked up her bow, aiming once again. She didn't need magic or any of that fancy stuff to help her. She just had pure skill.

Firing the arrow, it landed right next to the bulls eye. She smiled lightly, and looked at the welt, then ignoring it once again.

Nobara was surprised at his sudden exit, but didn't take it too seriously. He was probably off to find someone else. Sighing lightly, Nobara brought her bow over to the wall and put it on a rack, sliding down against the wall, her knees crunched up against her chest. She also put her head against her knees, and with her fuzzy hair all over the place, people couldn't tell exactly who it was. She sniffed a little, and then was silent...

"NO! WHY WOULD I BE CRYING!? CRYING IS FOR TOTAL PANSIES." Even if she was a horrible liar, Nobara didn't want Kuro to know she was crying just a bit for who knows why. She spoke while her head was down, so she was a bit hard to hear, but it didn't make any difference. "I'm... not... crying..." There was some snot running down her nose, and she tried to sniff it back up, but unfortunately, it made a loud nasty sound. GREAT.

Nobara looked up at Kuro, forcing a small smile. "I guess I am.... I'm not really good at anything. Oh well." Even when I should be putting up a front... I'm bringing it down in front of him. WHY!? I have to keep it up.... it's like Kuro is taking a sledgehammer and knocking away the appearance I've kept for fifteen years... Standing up, Nobara looked away, picking up her bow off of the rack. "I'm... going to go somewhere. Please don't follow me." It was with those last words that Nobara took off, running out of the door and swiveling around, busting out of the training hall to somehwere else.

Triumph glittered in Lena's mind. She shoved back into him, throwing her body on his and grabbing a hold of his wrists tightly. Her momentum caused them to fall back on the ground. The moment they hit, Lena's teeth were jarred. She was straddling Taern's stomach and holding his wrist directly above his chest with both hands. "I win."
