yugioh_dressing[With the weather finally warming up, the fresh life of spring bleeding into a slow approaching summer, Atem has taken to spending days at the beach once more; the closest he will ever get to his homeland in this world.
Recently, he'd found a small cache of weapons and armour in the depths of the castle, among them a nice composite bow and a few full quivers. He's a reasonably skilled archer but the lifestyle of lethargy that comes with living on the island has left him sorely out of practice and today he's decided to fix this, somewhat.
He wears a leather bracer on his right arm and a guard to protect his chest, drawing with the left. The trees lining the beach are marked with makeshift targets, covering a distance of at least a couple hundred yards and he stands with his feet squarely planted in a firm plot of sand, concentrating completely on his practice. The arrows fly fast and loose, a sharp curse following any that miss. One thing he's surprised to find is that he's not tiring as fast as usual at least.
Altogether it's probably not the safest activity to pursue out in the open, what with tendency towards random passerbys. Perhaps someone should mention that. If they can get his attention. A near miss of the fatal sort is all it would take.]

Date: 2010-05-23 03:31 am (UTC)Of course, that nice warm day just got a little chiller because of him too.
Hm. Target practice. A very good idea. He chooses a target that hasn't been hit yet and flicks an ice spear toward it.]
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 03:47 am (UTC)Adding insult to the injury, Ryou's spear pierces the intended target and Atem turns back towards the source with a slight sneer, although it's not necessarily directed at the other.]
Can I help you?
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 03:52 am (UTC)Only if you can provide more targets.

Date: 2010-05-23 04:15 am (UTC)A limit could be set upon how many spears I create, compared to how many arrows you have. The highest score once all have been used wins.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 04:29 am (UTC)That sounds reasonable. [Quickly rifling through the quiver.] I have nine left here.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 04:32 am (UTC)I am Hell Kaiser.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 04:44 am (UTC)I suppose if we are using the same number... then we are free to start whenever we please. [And with that he lets the first projectile fly. It slams neatly into a tree.]

Date: 2010-05-23 05:56 am (UTC)Damn [He mutters, turning to watch Ryou finish.]
[OOC: Haha then that makes two of them XD tie it is then.]

no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 05:45 am (UTC)Something wrong, sheut?
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 05:50 am (UTC)You almost hit me with that first one!
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 03:38 pm (UTC)[He replies with a shrug and a slight smirk, a few arrows already in hand. He makes straight for Yuu however, taking the one he's holding as he leans up to plant a quick kiss on his cheek.]
In any case, I did not.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 08:53 pm (UTC)I suppose that's all that matters then.
Still, that seemed like such a deliberate shot [linefaise] The target was nowhere near up that high.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 11:03 pm (UTC)[He shrugs, not feigning innocence at all or anything.]
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 11:07 pm (UTC)[And he knows it as he squares his shoulders and leans over to drop a kiss onto his forehead fleetingly.]
no subject
Date: 2010-05-24 12:05 am (UTC)[Atem smiles and pokes him with the feathered end of an arrow, then turns on his heel and wanders off to retrieve the rest of what he spent.]
no subject
Date: 2010-05-24 12:11 am (UTC)[He trots after him, hands in his pockets as he finds an arrow out of the corner of his eye and moves to grab it, reaching down to dig it out of its place and handing it to him.]
Were you good at it back in Egypt?
no subject
Date: 2010-05-24 01:04 am (UTC)[Then he laughs, obviously teasing, as he reaches for another arrow that's found it's way into a bush. He just can't help it when it's Yuu.]
I was. I had to be. One cannot maintain an empire if they are not prepared to fight for it.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-25 12:42 am (UTC)[He tosses him a light-hearted grin before hearing the last bit and giving a nod.]
Did you end up in a few fights during your time there?
no subject
Date: 2010-05-25 01:36 am (UTC)Fights? I have been to war, little one. [He admits somberly.]
no subject
Date: 2010-05-25 02:23 am (UTC)Twinging in an apologetic manner for bringing it up, he rests his palm against Atem's upper arm gently, fingers drumming gently at the skin.]
no subject
Date: 2010-05-25 02:56 am (UTC)He covers Yuu's hand with his own, stilling his fingers and offering a faint smile.] Do not look so upset. My struggles hardly compare to those of my forefathers. I only have to maintain their progress.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-25 04:23 am (UTC)Bet you were doing a pretty decent job before you came here, then.
[Dropping a kiss onto the side of his face, he uses his other hand and brushes one of Atem's blonde forelocks with his fingers, winding them around one for a moment before letting go.]
no subject
Date: 2010-05-25 07:14 am (UTC)[He has a hard time keeping the amusement out of his voice however, and he leans into Yuu almost instinctively, kissing his neck softly. He meant to slip away at some point, continue practicing but right now this seems like a much better option.]
no subject
Date: 2010-05-29 03:16 am (UTC)[Yuu lets out a soft purr, just barely audible and a simple rumble in his throat as he returns said kiss to the throat with a kiss to Atem's jaw, fingertips raised to brush the other side of his face delicately, running down his cheek in an almost curious manner.]
no subject
Date: 2010-05-31 02:51 pm (UTC)[His skin feels warm beneath Yuu's touch and he turns with a subtle, fluid grace, opening to the exploration though it's one that they've done countless times before. He sets one hand on Yuu's wrist, the other still full of arrows and hesitant, unsure of what to do with them.]
...if you insist on distracting me.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-01 04:58 am (UTC)[He nips at him in an almost playful manner, noticing the hesitancy in the hand that holds the bundle of arrows, and Yuu brushes the hand, trying to coax the held shafts of them out into his own palm to set them down at the foot of the tree.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-01 06:47 am (UTC)[Instead of relinquishing them, his grip tightens around the shafts and he pulls away, albeit reluctantly. The eyes that look up at Yuu are flickering, either side ready to take control depending on what he decides.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-01 02:32 pm (UTC)Yeah, you're right.
[With a light nudge, he eyes the direction back to where they were and smiles.] Come on, let's go back now.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-02 03:57 am (UTC)Would you like to give it a go? [He inquires lightheartedly, heading back to where he left the rest of the equipment.]
no subject
Date: 2010-06-02 05:30 am (UTC)Aa... sure.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-02 04:20 pm (UTC)You know what to do at least?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-03 03:03 am (UTC)Not at all?
[He gives him a sheepish grin and looks at the bow with a brightening curiosity. It's the sort of thing you only see in books or Duel Monster cards where he's from :\]
