Somehow he felt a bit of apprehension from her, but for now this was the only way to learn. Then the arrow was away, she was high on her aim. He was mentally going through her mistakes before his ears caught the alarm of her voice and his form left hers quickly as his hand gently held her arm to inspect for any damage.
He didn’t act like this, normally such a thing would bring laughter to his maw at his pupils mistake but she was different and he really didn’t want her to get hurt because of him. Finally satisfied that she wasn’t drastically hurt he took up the task of teaching her how to hold her arm. He took the bow from her gently, with a smile before he gestured for her to come near him so she could look at his placement. The bow may have been a bit big for her but it was the only one he had, and it was powerful enough to bring down a deer at a good distance. Now though he pulled the bowstring back without an arrow his head swiveling back to look at her.
“See how I hold it at full draw with my left arm slightly angled away from the bow strings path? You don’t lock your arm either since that would pull it straight into the path.” Saluce let the bowstring go and it thumped forward missing his arm and not skinning him.
“Ready to try again?”
