Amaranth nodded once more. "If you want, you can come over to my house, and I can show you how to make things." she offered with a smile. She felt sorry for her. Her apprenticeship was one of the best things that had happened to her when she was younger.

Gretchen's eyes glittered, "Really? Wow, thank you!" she said, before abbruptly hugging the older elf. She then blushed, and stopped hugging.

Amaranth giggled and hugged her in return. "It's no problem. I loved having an apprenticeship when I was younger. You wouldn't want to miss out on that." she said with a kind smile.

Gretchen slightly chuckled out of embarrassment, but soon relaxed, and looked at amaranth. "Yes, I don't want to miss out," he said, feeling happy.

Amaranth smiled at the girl. "Do you have a bow?" she asked. "I can teach you to hunt if you do, if you don't we can make one, and then I can teach you, if you want." she said.

Gretchen nodded, and went to the lake's edge, near a blue bolder. She dug under it, revealing her well-kept bow. It had a soft, glossy gleam, as it was made from strong yet flexible fibers. She revealed a quiver full of arrows, white feathers on each one. "Here we are," she said.

She nodded, "I don't really know how to hunt.." she admitted, because her diet usually consisted of vegetation and berries.

She nodded, "I don't really know how to hunt.." she admitted, because her diet usually consisted of vegetation and berries. she sighed, and strummed a fragile finger on the bow, hearing a remnant strum emerge.

Amaranth nodded. She pulled her own bow from her shoulder, and shot an arrow off. It hit a tree with a thud, and stayed there, stuck into the wood of the tree. She looked at Gretchen. "Show me your aim." she asked of the girl, watching closely.

Gretchen nodded at Amaranth, stood up, and as she stood, pulled a swan feathered arrow from her quiver. She sighed, and closed her eyes, putting the arrow onto the bow, pulling it back steadily. She opened her eyes with renewed concentration, and let it go, hearing a whizing noise, followed by a thump, as it struck a tree. The arrow bounced off with a clash, landing in the under brush with a pathetic whumpth. Gretchen furrowed her brow in anger, not pleased with her result.

Amaranth nodded. "That's alright. I started off just like that." she told her. "Here, hold the bow horizontally with your arm." she said, walking toward the tree to gather their arrows. She walked back. "Try again?" she asked.

She blushed, and nodded, and held the bow horizontally. She squinter her eyes, and pulled another arrow from her quiver. "I'll try again," she confirmed, as she aimed to the base of the pine tree. She shot, and it struck the tree, planting itself into the bark. She gasped, and grinned, jumping up excitedly. "I did it!" she exclaimed.

Amaranth smiled. "See?! It just takes practice. You got it! Now let's see if you can get an animal." she said, motioning with her hand to follow her. She fell back to walk beside her. "We'll go a little ways away from here, but we have to be quiet." she said.

Gretchen smiled happily, and ran to grab the arrow, put it in her quiver, and trot up to Amaranth. She had a slight frown on her face. "Alright, but I don't really want to kill animals..." she whispered.
