[VIDEO]

[See this? This is one Hibari Kyouya, looking rather bored - he's standing in the middle of the archery range (which is empty) with his bow in hand and his quiver of arrows slung over his shoulder. He glances around, before addressing the communication device.]

Someone fight me.

[IN PERSON]

[If there's anyone passing by the training grounds, they'll see Hibari practicing his marksmanship; feel free to join him, or challenge him to a fight. He'll gladly oblige you. Hey, he might even agree to having an archery contest!]

[Like he would pass up this opportunity EVER. Though he doesn't approach Hibari right away, instead he just watches for a bit, smoking a cigarette off to the side. After a good few minutes he FINALLY finds it in him to comment.]

Your posture sucks.

[He doesn't react, letting go of the string and watching the arrow fly straight into the target before turning to look over his shoulder at the redhead.]

Really.

Really. Do you even know how to string the thing properly?

[Best to break him out of any bad habits now... before he gets too set on shooting incorrectly.]

Yes.

[So deadpan. If you're so fussy about it, G., come here and show him how to do it properly.]

[He just chuckles and shakes his head, before finally getting up to show the little ~~whippersnapper~~ Vongola how it was done.

Naturally G could string his bow in his sleep, but he actually takes his time with ti this time, making sure Hibari could take note. When finished he gets into position and draws the string to make sure the draw length was enough for him to pull his arm all the way back comfortably. Then, he knocked an arrow to his bow and drew back.

He took a deep breath, and then exhaled as he let the arrow fly hitting the target dead center.

and he topped it all off by giving Hibari a cocky little smirk]

[He's not part of the Vongola, damnit. He's an independent agent.

That little cocky smirk has him scowling darkly - he can now see what his posture is supposed to look like, and corrects it accordingly. But really, G. didn't have to show him how to string the bow. He knew that much already. Really, he did.]

Tch.

[G just chuckles and shrugs, before drawing two more arrows and knocking them both to the bow. He may just be showing off, but part of it may also be showing Hibari how to do it... once he gets some more practice. Taking the pose again he lets both arrows fly, and they hit both hit the centers of the targets, though it took him a bit longer to aim.]

Exhale when you shoot.

I don't need you to tell me.

[Despite his words, he steps up and follows the other's advice, exhaling before he lets go of the string that he had drawn back, the arrow flying straight and true into the heart of the target. Hmm. That's... helpful.]

[There's another smirk and he rolled his eyes, not that he really cares either way, but of course he's going to smart mouth about it.]

Clearly.

[He lights up another cigarette and turns towards Hibari]

Try two.

Hnf.

[Oh, fine then. So he just needs to steady himself... take aim... exhale, and let go.

There we go. The two arrows fly straight into the center of the target, though he's not quite up to the standard where he can split one arrow in half with the other.]

Not bad. Won't be as easy with a movin' target though.

[He pauses to take a nice calming drag from his cigarette before bothering to respond]

It's the same as shootin' a gun. Try to anticipate their movement and aim for the biggest hunk of flesh you can see. Doesn't always matter if you miss vital points, if y'hit 'em enough they'll go down, or leave you a pretty red trail to follow.

[Lesigh. So just aim for the biggest chunk of flesh that you can see. Got it.]

... I see.

[Scowl. Now leave him alone so he can practice in peace.]

[Nope, he's going to take his seat again and watch you practice. Noting any possible mistakes, or things that could get him killed down the road if he's not careful...

and maybe he's just enjoying the weather a bit]

[.... Okay, archery is getting boring. Why doesn't he practice with his sword a little bit...? Yes, he'll do that. Brb grabbing his sword from where he left it over near the sparring ring.]

[Hahahaha swords. He can't help there.]

Ugetsu might be able to give you some pointers with that thing.

[He's gathered small things from watching Yamamoto Takeshi and the loud shark spar, though he knows that he would most likely lose against the first Rain Guardian. A few moves and tricks does not maketh a swordsman.]

... Hnf.

[But will he be humble enough to ask the Rain Guardian, is the question.]

[He rolls his eyes at the lack of a significant response.]

That fluff-head won't bite y'know. He's been lookin' for a sword anyway. Bet if you could get him one he'd be glad to spar with ya... get him off my ass for a few hours...

... I will see about it.

[Pft, it's no problem with the sword - he's already got a spare stashed away in his room. The First Rain Guardian can have that one.]

[G stretches out a bit and leans back, folding his arms behind his head. He's just going to take a nap on this here fine day]

Do what ya want. In the end it doesn't matter to me.

...

[Fine then, he'll be ignoring the redhead. He's got stuff to do.]
