Cole blinked. He was not expecting the sudden question. “I had a job to do. It was important to the other fairies we did our job. If no one gave out the dust or distributed it properly all fairies would surely lose their magic.” The fairy didn’t point out that the growing darkness weakened them already and it was more important now then ever to make sure his kind could defend themselves if there ever was a need to. Even though he stole from them and was abandoned it still was his home for as long as he could remember. Cole’s face got solemn at the memories and his head and shoulders lowered.

“So if one person didn’t produce something right, everyone would s-suffer from it?” Sora asked trying to comprehend the whole dust thing more. He noticed the male’s posture change and frowned some. “I’m sorry.”

“See. The lack of sight let’s you focus on the correct way to position your body and helps you get a feel for your form. Adjusting your bow would come after.” Cole looks to the side and shrugs. “For as long as I can remember. I’ve been here for a long time just was never able to leave the Hollow.”

[sorathelostboy]

“I guess it does h-help, you’re r-right.” Sora said in agreement before nodding at what he said about being in the Hollow. “How come you couldn’t l-leave?”

“Asked. The captain.” Cole shrugged afterwards and left it at that. “I see. Well your bow isn’t the problem.” The fairy took the initiative and moved the boys arms, leveling them out. “Close your eyes and practice pulling the string like that.” He froze, eyes widening he was quick to add, “You don’t need to focus on the string or even an arrow….just yet. Just get a feel for how your arms are and how your body is positioned with it raised.” Cole bowed out of his way and gave him a little space.

[sorathelostboy]

Sora found it weird that he had to close his eyes but did so, he let go of the string before raising his arms up into the position that Cole set his arms and drew the string back while doing so, it was much easier than before. “T-this is e-easier.” He said as he opened his eyes and looked at the male next to him. “How long have you done archery?”

Well now he felt like an ass after hearing such an innocent reason. “I can use this.” Cole tapped the small blade at his hip. “Just I lack tons of experience sooo. I’d say it’s not my best defense if I ever have to fight.”, The fairy wanted to make it clear he had some experience but wasn’t confident in swordsmanship. “Well for starters can you easily draw your bow. Or is it difficult?”, he asks while his eyes fell to what the kid used and almost hit him with.

[sorathelostboy]

“Have h-h-hook teach you, or one of the other p-pirates.” Sora said before he rose his bow and drew it back with a little bit of difficulty. “It’s a little d-d-difficult.”

“I’m not sure if spreading my weaknesses around would be such a good idea.” Cole offered up a smile as not to deter the guys enthusiasm in wanting to learn; avoiding answering the question.

Besides he found the way he talked was kind of cute. “So how much of a beginner are you?”, Cole says interested in how much he actually knew about archery.

[sorathelostboy]

“I m-meant to help train you w-with. Sparing, archery, the w-w-works.” Sora explained himself as he slowly smiled a him. “I d-d-don’t know anything.”

“Train you!” Cole exclaimed louder than he meant. “Well I do. I use to protect the pixie dust in the hollow.”, he explained while his eyes lowered. “We had to keep others away. It was better to keep them at bay then deal with them up close and in the keep.”, he continued leaving out the fact he was no good with a sword and a one on one was something back then he would have avoided at all costs. “It’s all I’ve known really. The bow, the dust, the keep, and nothing else.”

Sora watched him, he seemed excited to him. He nodded as he heard the fairy talk, but he just smiled at the end. “Sounds-sounds interesting to m-me. Is th-there som-something you’re n-n-not go-good at?”

Cole waved his hand to calm the boy down, seeing as he hesitated with every word he spoke. Tilting his head and raising a brow in thought; maybe he just spoke this way. Unsure he focused on his face and the concern in his voice. “First time?”, he questioned with a reassuring curl of his lips. “You got the arrow to fly from the woods till it passed me. Thats impressive.”, he nodded and relaxed rolling back on his heels. “It’s fine. I’m a fairy. If I felt to threatened I would have shrunk.” Cole states, knowing he did it when he panicked and sometimes lacked control.

[sorathelostboy]

“C-c-can you t-t-train me?” Sora asked even though he paused a bit while listening to the fairy talk. He was interested in what fairies are, he’s never met one. “You s-s-seem to know how to s-s-shoot.”

Cole was full of energy when he was back in the cove, rushing across the beach with his bow in his hand. He knew a bow was useless on the sea and he was overjoyed at the chance to use it again. The fairy stopped dead in his tracks, rolling his neck to watch a projectile zoom past him and disappear into the sand behind him. “Who’s there?”, he shouted before scanning his eyes along the beach. He had a nervous twitch in his fingertips even though he kept a calm face. Alright Cole act tough even when you feel small. “Now is that any way to treat someone?”, He called out making sure his voice projected itself over the waves.

Sora was actually starting to train since he had free time. He wasn’t in his tent, and he wasn’t talking about sunsets with Bee so he figured that he should try to teach himself bow and arrow since he didn’t know where Tootles was. He thought he was getting the hang of it until he accidently shot an arrow and nearly hit someone, the feel of guilt instantly washed over him. “S-S-Sorry! Thi-This is my f-first t-t-time actually s-s-shooting it, I’m s-s-sorry.” Sora couldn’t help but feel bad for the fact that he almost killed someone he didn’t know.

Bee smiled widely as she nodded her head, looking over at him. “You haven’t even seen the best ones yet! Sure, no time passes here and all, but not all sunsets are created equal nonetheless. Coming up soon is a period of like four sunsets that put all the rest to shame. I don’t know how often it happens specifically, but it feels like it’s been around the right amount of wakeups. I’ll have to bring you when they’re at their prime.”

[sorathelostboy]

“Yes, please! I’d l-l-love that. The sunsets that you say put the others to sh-shame interest me a lot now.”

Bee smiled as she entwined their fingers before humming in thought, leading the boy towards the water. She swung their hands the tiniest bit as they walked, licking her lips before speaking. “I think I like the sunsets and sunrises. Being out at hours when no one else is is nice. Plus, it just makes it feel like living here forever might not be so bad. How about you?”

[sorathelostboy]

Sora followed her happily as he held hands with her. He listened to her talk and looked at her while she did so. He thought she was really pretty. “M-me? Y-yeah that makes s-sense.” He smiled at her as he got a bit closer to her while they by the water. “I haven’t been here t-t-too long but the suns-sets are great.”

Bee grinned at Sora’s agreement to play, nodding her head repositioned herself to kneel. She stood up, holding out her hand to him. “We’ll need to go towards more damp sand, but you can start. What’s on your mind?”

[sorathelostboy]

Sora took her hand willingly when she held her hand out to him. “That makes s-sense.” He nodded in agreement at her sand statement before tilting his head side to side a bit, to think of what to ask. “What’s your f-f-favorite thing on the i-island?” He looked down at their hands, actually liking the way her hand felt in his as he laced their fingers together.

Bee hummed in thought before grinning, nodding her head and looking over at him. “We could play a get-to-know-you game, like 20 questions! Meanwhile, we can build a sand castle? I haven’t gotten to in ages and four hands is better than two by far.”

“S-sure.” Sora said with a nod, liking the idea of playing a game and building something called a sand castle. “Want me to s-start?”

Bee nodded in understanding, grinning after a moment as she shrugged. “So, we’ve just got to get you completely comfortable with me so that you don’t have to stutter with at least one person. So, any great bonding ideas?”

Sora shook his head at the girl’s question, he wish he had an answer for her, but he really didn’t. “I don’t k-know an-any. What about y-you?”

Bee smiled at the compliment, shrugging her shoulders. “I just like knowing a lot about a lot, honestly. I tend to prefer current events, but I’ve got to learn something when the island is dead and lately that’s come in the form of Greek mythology.” She explained with a quiet laugh, nodding in agreement before narrowing her eyes with a curious smile. “Your stutter’s been getting a little better since we started talking, did you notice? Is it because you’re getting more comfortable around me?”

[sorathelostboy]

He listened to her talk and nodded at the end of her statement. He wondered what all she could know on the island, and how much information there is to know. “Y-yeah. D-D-Dylan said my s-s-stuttering will get better t-t-the more com-comfortable I am around s-s-someone.”

Bee laughed as she nodded in agreement, shrugging her shoulders. “Yeah, I totally had that one coming. Although, a rendition of hermit is Hermes who doubles as a greek god so I think I can manage that, even if he was a guy. Feel free to call me your goddess now,” she joked back, pretending to act like she had an air of royalty around her before laughing it off.

[sorathelostboy]

“Y-y-you really kn-know your s-stuff.” Sora said quite surprised as he leaned back a bit, obviously shocked. “I think h-hermit will fit you. Since you w-were gone for a w-while.” He hoped that maybe the female would help get rid of his stuttering. But he knew it’d come back if it meant meeting new people, or talking to people he wasn’t comfortable with.

Bee smiled warmly as she nodded in agreement, leaning her head to the side afterwards to feel the sun on her neck. “I’m a lost girl! Lately I’ve been more of a nocturnal hermit, I’ll admit, but I swear I’m normally not so dreary. Quite upbeat, actually! How about you?” She asked, nudging his shoulder lightly with hers.

[sorathelostboy]

Sora was a bit surprised that she touched him, even though they barely knew each other. He kind of was comfortable around her more than some others on the island. Yet, he was still the most comfortable with Dylan. “I’m a l-lost boy. S-should I just call you h-h-hermit?” He teased a bit. This was the first time he’s teased with someone new.
