She swore she could feel the heat coming from his face. Or maybe that was her face. She didn't think he was going to kiss her again, but he did, and she felt a small happy sound come from her as it happened. She dropped the bow, letting it return to the grass where it came from. She used her ability to mentally cause his bow to turn back into it's original form, hoping he would drop it. She kept the one hand on his chest and the other, now free, she moved to rest on the tree behind him so she could lean closer.

He pulled away rather quickly, so much so that Accalias eyes were still closed when the 'sorry' came out of his lips. She opened them to see his bright red face just inches from hers, as he continued to apologize. She smiled and shook her head, a small laugh escaping her lips. "Charlie, you don't have to apologize," she said, her eyes glittering with humor. "I like you. I mean, you're nice. You're funny. Clearly smart," she gestured to the monster dust on the ground, "I just mean... you don't have to apologize." Now SHE was blushing, maybe even more so then he was... if that was possible.

Accalia turned toward him as she heard the words come out of his mouth and suddenly he was kissing her. Her eyes widened for a moment but then closed into the kiss, her hand clutching the fabric of his shirt where her hand still rested. She kissed him back, not even thinking about all the reasons why she hadn't kissed anyone in... oh gods, how long had it been? Her other hand was still holding her bow, sadly, so she couldn't do anything with it. So, she stuck to leaning toward him and holding onto his shirt for dear life.

Accalia watched, hand still on his chest as he pulled the strong back and fired. Maybe her talent and skill had somehow seeped into him from that touch because the arrows flew straight and true, right into the monsters eye. It was a damn good hit! Accalia gasped, "Oh my god's, Charlie! Look at that!" she exclaimed happily, practically squealing with delight. Heck, if he was this good the first time shooting a bow then he had some real potential! Unless it was beginners luck. But she didn't want to think that right now. No, she was too excited at that hit!

Accalia laughed as she realized he had jumped at her yell, and he was laughing too. Then he spoke softly, claiming that he thought one of the monsters had heard her. She moved closer to him, just enough to get a better view and put her lips to his ear. "Oh, you're right! Okay, so that's a good aim but you need to calm down," she was in full teacher mode now, not really realizing how this could look as she reached one hand over to gently place it on his chest over his heart. "Slow down your heartbeat. Take a deep breath," she'd shoot it herself, but she wanted to let him have the first go.

Accalia nodded as he held the bow up, "good. That's good. Just move this hand lower," she lightly touching the hand what was on the bow part and not the string. "Just there," she explained as she pushed his hand down a little. She pulled back and lifted her own bow, "now, we wait... it shouldn't be long now. Hmmm," she didn't want to make them wait forever, so she just shouted, "HEY! OVER HERE!" She chuckled and turned back to Charlie with a wide eyes, but they sparkled with mischievousness. She hadn't had this much fun in a long time.

Accalia patted his arm softly when he arrieved and got comfortable, "good climbing! Okay, it shouldn't be too long... It'd be easier if one of us was bleeding," her eyes widened as she realized that this made her sound a little twisted and she shook her head, "but we can wait a little longer. No need for that," she corrected.
"Let me show you how to hold it properly," she started, lifting her bow and showing him the appropriate hand placements, "see? When you pull the string back you want your fingers right by your lips, just there," she reached over and tapped the corner of his mouth where it should be placed. "You try," she suggested, trying to ignore that strange fluttering that was making it's way through her stomach now.

She was glad that he seemed a little more excited about this idea now. She giggled a little, guiding him into the forest. Once surrounded by trees she turned toward him, gently touching his arm. "Okay, the best place to get a good vantage point is from up high," she explained. "If we climb this tree, a monster should smell us pretty soon and then I can teach you out to shoot it. Come on," she wasn't necessarily in tree-climbing clothes, but she started to climb anyway.
Once in a good place, with a good spot beside her, she turned to make sure he was following. "You can sit right here by the trunk. I'll sit on the branch," she explained, grinning. Was she completely crazy? Maybe.

Accalias heart was racing as she awaited his answer. He was just so sweet, so innocent, that a part of her felt like it was her duty to teach him a little bit about this kind of stuff. Plus, adrenaline was good for bonding. He nodded and agreed that they could go into the forest and her grin widened even more. "No monster blood on clothes. Got it," she said with another little chuckle.
His eyes were widening at her words but she figured that would happen. She was being a bit... insane, in a way. He was trained with a sword and she nodded, "exactly. Never too late. Charlie Webster, consider me your official archery teacher!" she formed another, making this was a little sturdier as she stood from the table. Then she held it out to him, "come along, then!" she invited.

Oh, they were a rather blushy pair, weren't there? Accalia continued to nurse her food as he responded to her with the questions. She grinned swallowing her most recent bite before responding, "well, I was thinking of just the forest but... we could sneak out of camp. Or we could just save that for our next date," she whispered, but then she chuckled, "I mean our next not-date." She was a bit worried about his not having faced monsters before... but she could handle it. "And all the more reason you need real life experience. I mean, maybe some training first would be good but... being thrown to the wolves is a good way to learn, too. Plus, we won't have to get close," she lifted a hand and a vine snaked around her ankle until it wrapped around her hand and shaped into a bow, "archery is my chosen form of attack. So, we can just stay back. What do you think?" her heart was racing and she was still smiling. What was happening to her? Need for adrenaline maybe? Where was Daphne when ya needed her.

Accalia was surprised at his next question. She wasn't even sure if she'd ever been asked that... she was sure Jacob would have, right? But, it didn't sound familier. She cleared her throat, her own face blushing bright red as he said for future reference. "Daffodils," she said, "and Forget Me Nots. It's a close tie," maybe daffodils tickled her fancy a little bit more, but not by much.
At his confused question, Acclia leaned forward quickly, reaching out to catch his hands if they were there to hold, "Charlie," her voice was oddly serious sounding, "I'm saying we venture off the beaten path, like you said. Literally and figuratively. I'm saying we go fight monsters, right now, test our skills. I don't know many people, if any, who've done that on a 'not-date' before. I can teach you," she leaned back just a little, "if you need it, I mean. I'm just saying we need to stop being cowards," okay she was more talking about herself then. She finally released his hands, "I'm babbling."

Accalia laughed, "it's not overkill with a child of Demeter. Well, with most of us," she said, shrugging as she took another bite or too of her food as well. "I mean, with this one at least," she felt her cheeks heating up a little and cleared her throat, focusing on her food for another moment or two.
At her comment about the forest he knitted his eyebrows together and her grin stayed in place. When his face relaxed enough to raise just one eyebrow at her she leaned forward slightly to catch his answer. "That's exactly what I'm saying," she was surprised that he smiled slightly, but she went on, "I mean, in the literal sense, that the forest is stocked with challenges. Why stay on the path when there is so much to test your skills?" she chuckled then, realizing how this could be some kind of metaphor for life as well...

"Whew," Accalia joked when he said she was safe from his siblings interrogation. "Well, Dakota is a smart lady," she said when he mentioned the flowers were her idea. She nodded and rolled her eyes, "isn't that the truth. Not just nosy siblings, but nosy parents too," she said that second part softly.
She chuckled as he mentioned only a slight bit about the monsters making things not so fun. She nodded, "but isn't sticking to the paths defeating the point?" she grin mischievously, like she was getting an idea... which she was. She would have to see how he handled that last comment though.

Accalia laughed, "she might have interrogate you and have her spies investigate. Your siblings probably encourage this sort of thing, right?" she guessed with a grin. Then she lifted a hand. "not to assume or anything, that just seems the norm," she had a thing for a son of Aphrodite in the past, and it was the same type of concept. He was not quite as friendly as Charlie was, though, and not nearly as shy. He was more of a big flirt... but, Accalua was a pretty decent flirt back then too.
She nodded at what he chose to say. It seemed a good enough answer to her. Simple. Good way to start. "Me too," she said, her smile softening, "it's quiet until the monsters come," she said in a matter-of-fact tone, then she scrunched her face up. "Yikes, that was a depressing comment, wasn't it?"

OOh HALLO Ezra Parker & McKenzie Carter: Awwww. Oh man, okay. I like the idea of him trying to get back together with her, at least looking for company, but I don't see her falling for it super easily. but yes, their first encounter after she got back would be way fun to thread!!! |
