[/html]Even though Wraith hadn’t really been looking at Ithiel, she happened to catch a look he was giving the tree as she passed by. He looked a bit happy, a bit pleased, and a bit thoughtful all at once. It seemed to be a good look, so she hoped it was for her. She didn’t really feel like she needed to impress him the way she did other coyotes like her dad, her sister, or Vesper. Maybe it was because he was a guy or maybe it was something else, but she felt like she wanted to work hard to improve for herself – and not for anyone else.

Of course, that didn’t mean she couldn’t accept his praise. When he said that she had done well, she grinned broadly in reply. She nodded quickly when he suggested shooting quicker. She quickly glanced around to check that Col hadn’t moved from his spot. He was still standing off behind her playing with grass. She grinned again and then set two of her arrows down beside her and strung one. She let each off as quickly as she could, and even though she didn’t hit the target with any of them, she felt a lot better than the other times. She’d get the hang of this yet![html]
