Amara took a deep breath as her arms shook slightly. She aimed carefully, raising the arrow arch just slightly before she let it fly. It landed in front of the target rather than hitting it, but it was much closer than she thought she would make it. A smile formed on her face. "This is kind of fun" she said. "Is it normal for someone to enjoy a weapon like this" she asked.

"Enjoying the use a weapon isn't unnatural. If you feel comfortable with the weapon and you do well with it, then finding enjoyment and satisfaction from the weapon is perfectly fine." Isekara said as she walked over to pick up the arrow in front of the target. Amara was short of the target, but considering that it would have hit if it she had a bit more power behind the shot. "You show some potential with the bow. Let's begin your training."

Amara gave a nod when she was told it wasnt unnatural. It made her feel better about liking the bow. When she was told it was time to begin her training, Amara was ready. *Maybe I can really show them that I am not like the others out there who are cruel jerks* she thought as she motioned for Isekara to train her. The female felt ready for this lesson, more so than the one yesterday, her confidence growing ever so slightly.

(Time skip?) Isekara nodded in return and set up a few targets and began to dive into her first lesson with the human. It was a big risk for Orion to take when it came to bringing in a human, and an adventurer no less, but maybe she was the exception rather than the general rule, so Isekara held out on hope that this little experiment wouldn't blow up in everyone's face.

(Yeah. I am good with one. Sorry, havent been on the computer all week and I give better responses on it, so I didnt make a post until now.) / Amara waited until the other female was out of the way before she readied the bow and arrow once again. She took a deep breath before she aimed and let it fly, this time hitting a target, creating a smile on Amara's face. She pulled out another arrow from the quiver and aimed again before she let one more fly to a different target, missing that one, but grazed it with the following arrow. It wasnt hard to see she needed practice, but would get better in time.

As the lesson with Amara continued on, Isekara slowly realized that Orion's chance on taking her in instead of killing her along with the other adventurers was a good one, as she continued to learn well and had great potential in shooting the bow. The hours seemed to fly by as Isekara enjoyed herself teaching her new student. Finally the lesson was over, but instead of Orion coming back to lead Amara back, it was Sokoya instead. "If you come with me, Orion will tell you what happened in regards to what made him leave before the lesson began. And don't worry about being bored; he knows how to tell a story." She said in an unwavering tone, making it hard if she was sarcastic or not.

Amara looked over at Sokoya, a little surprised she was there to bring Amara back. She looked at Isekara and gave a polite nod. "Thank you for the lesson today" she said before she turned to follow Sokoya. "Is anyone hurt" she asked, knowing she could at least help with minor wounds, and wanted to be ready to help. She gave a nod for the other female to lead the way to Orion, somewhat nervous and excited to hear about what happened. She figured by now the others would assume she and the rest of Zane's group was dead, which, they wouldn't be wrong about Zane and his followers, but she was still grateful that Orion let her live.

"A few goblins were hurt, so no big losses at the end of the day." Sokoya said in a lackadasical manner, showing that she did not value goblins highly at all. "But Orion is perfectly fine. His clothes are a bit messy, but he'll live." She added as she slithered through the hallway, not moving too fast so she didn't lose Amara. Orion, meanwhile, was having some of his outfit cleaned by the goblins as a way of them saying thanks for dealing with the slime creature, who was still in the throne room at that moment. He liked that he was able to bring in another monster unto the fold instead of resorting to killing it; slimes did have a strong method of digestion, so if there was anything that needed to disappear, the slime could be called to make it so. Finished cleaning his attire, the goblins gave him back the clothing and Orion carefully put it back on, admiring the attention to detail and quality of work that they did. "Good work. This is quite satisfactory." He said simply, and the goblins were quite relieved. "You are dismissed." The goblins nodded and they left, leaving Orion and the cube of slime in the room.

Amara followed closely, almost shocked at how Soyoka seemed to not care too much about the others. "Sorry to sound blunt, but it seems you dont care much about anyone who isnt Orion" she said. "I am curious as to why, but dont feel like you have to tell me if you dont want." She didnt know what was with Soyoka, but if she was to stay here, she wanted to know about everyone, especially to stay on their good sides.

Sokoya merely grunted when Amara said that she didn't care much about the other monsters in the dungeon with the exception of Orion. "I don't really have an opinion either way about the majority of monsters down here. I don't mind the lizardmen because they revere me as a part of their religion, the undead are... well, undead, and as for the goblins..." She took a breath before continuing onward. "I find them incredibly annoying. They're small, easily scared, and almost always in a franctic state when you see them. On top of all that Nagas are solitary monsters. We prefer to keep to ourselves to avoid dealing with others... and since we are naturally cannibalistic, it's another thing to worry about when a stranger encroaches on our territory." She turned the corner and found the main room, where Orion and the cube of slime were waiting for the two. "Looks like Orion is waiting for us." She said, leaving Amara to stand by Orion's side. As soon as Orion saw Sokoya and Amara come into view, he stood up and welcomed the two. "Good to see you two once again." His Naga bodyguard leaned over and whispered about how the training went. "Understood." He got a bit closer to Amara before turning to the slime monster. "I'm sure you're wondering why, or even how, there's a giant cube of slime sitting in the main room with me. Well when I was called to the entrance I found this cube of slime standing there, cornering a few goblins. After some... convincing the cube backed off and I was able to tame it. It doesn't talk, but it does react to food rather well." He held an apple high into the air and the slime turned to it. Orion tossed the apple and it landed within the mass of slime, visibly being digested and disappearing in a minute's time. "I'm sure it'll be useful to have one of these. Now..." He turned to Amara. "Was there anything you needed to talk to me about?"
