Neve smiled when he took her too go see the arrows. Her interest was peeked when he seemed to want to get out of the area quickly. Perhaps he was wanting to avoid the other students? what ever the reason she simply followed. When they got back to his room she waited patiently till he showed her a single arrow. She marveled at it a moment, her breath catching at how it glittered in the low light . Feeling like a crow observing a prized piece of silver, she had the sudden urge to touch them. She reached out, taking the arrow in her hand, marveling at how smooth out felt. "Amazing....real smooth glass and sturdy too. And look at the head, carved like polished wings..." She held it a moment running her finger along the edges and then to the point. She ended as it s sliced her skin like a razor, but only enough to bring a beading blossom of blood to the finger tip. "Atrious they're lovely. But probably worth more than I can afford..." She said as she looked to him, her look wary. After all the Khajiit very seldom gave one another gifts. "I really want to try shooting one. Is there anywhere I can?" She asked since she was supposed to be pretending to be interested in magic not bows and arrows.

Atrious smiled,"Out back of the college- come. We will go." He said leading her out to the back in the courtyard where there were some pillars about and such and lots of snow. " Tie this marker on it- then shoot it into the snow so it won't shatter-and we can reclaim it." He said handing her a shred of cloth he just tore off his cape.

Neve followed, practically humming with excitement to try her new arrows. She looked around the deserted courtyard and felt her hands tighten on her bow that she ahd retrieved from her things. The arrow was in her hand, since she left the quiver back in his room. She accepted the bit of cloth, giving him a surprised look when he tore it from his cap. "Mercy, well, i guess I better make this shot a good one." She said, before stringing her bow. This arrow felt a bit heavier than the elven arrows, but something about it felt much more....solid perhaps. It felt cool in her grip, like holding a piece of ice that was poised to kill. She felt the cloth on her fingers licking her hand from the breeze, but it hardly distracted her from her shot. She took aim at the snow, eyes focusing on a bank quite a distance away. She sucked in a breath holding it momentarily before releasing the arrow and her breath.
It soared through the air, cutting it like a knife in the blink of an eye before sticking into the snow. Shock was evident on her face at it's speed and when she ran over to collect it, she found it had even cut through the ice and stuck into the icy undergrowth.
She let out a victorious cheer before hurrying back to Atrious, all but leaping at him in hug.
"These are awesome!! So cool! Thank you!" She gushed before releasing him with an excited look practically bouncing from her energy.
"Atrious you've got to try this! Come on I'll show you." She said, offering him the bow to give it a try. It was her most prized possession so for her to ever let anyone touch it was something amazing of itself, howver she trusted him and wanted him to at least have a feel for what he had given her.

He loved her excited face when she shot it and was rather surprised when she hugged him. When she put her bow in his hands he looked almost honored shy in a way. "I doubt i'll be any good but I'll give it a shot." He commented wondering just how it was going to work.

Neve was smiling when he accepted and moved to his side to instruct him on stance. "First of all, I'm right handed so if you aren't do the opposite of my instructions." She said with a small smirk. " "First off face me. plant your feet shoulder width apart. Then I want you to bbalance yourself for me. Either being one foot forward or one back. It's according to you which feels more comfortable." She gave him time to do as she instructed before she went rather close to him. "Now I want you to hold the bow with your right hand, don't grip it but let the grip relax on the meaty part of your hand, fingers relaxed." She placed her hand on his forcing his fingers to relax some before she turned to his grip on the bow string.
"Alright arrow in, let the base more on the string and just below the head rest above your hand. Grip the feather between the middle and index finger and pull back. your stance..." She giggled lightly at how tense he looked and moved behind him, adjusting his string arm a little higher and making his bow arm straighter. "The pull your feeling from the string is good...use it to put power in the shot. Now, take a deep breath in........and release the store when you let it out..."

He was scared as hell about this- he wasn't a weapon user ever- at all. He followed her words to the T however when she made him have his legs apart it felt almost wrong he took a breath but changed his footing more close together- one foot still in front of the other partly to the side- he found that more comfortable. Concentrating he took a deep breath and Aired the shot- he felt weird with Neve behind him it made him nervous but he blocked it out- as he exhaled he let loose the fetch and it was pretty easy he found- he hit a pile of snow and it cut threw like Neve's had. He smiled," that was actually rather fun..." He smiled at her feeling happy that she decided to share this with him.

Neve stepped back and clapped when she saw his shot was pretty spot on. perhaps Atrious could learn his way around a weapon if she took the time to show him. "I'm glad you liked it. I think you have the makings of a warrior." She said before she stepped over to the snow pile and gathered the arrow. She looked at it a long moment and wondered if she should bring up what the Arch Mage said. Well she couldn't leave him in the dark now could she..."So that was an interesting meeting..." She said, hopping to break some form of ice.

He smirked at her words," He is an interesting elf... Full of himself and thinks he is a parent when he is nothing close to it- he is a business men and nothing more. What did he say to you?" He said wondering what the old elf let slip that he didn't want her knowing for sure. If she knew his entire past she would defiantly leave and that would leave him friend less yet again in his miserable life- he just wanted a friend some one to confide in some one to tell stupid jokes with- to laugh about mistakes with- just some one who is there for him and to have his back but if she left he would probably go back to his father...that was his only real choice left.

Neve looked slightly uneasy about saying it but began with speaking of the less damaging topics. "Well he spoke about you alot...He didn't seem to care much for the topic of the Thalmor..only he said you were pushed by them?" She raised a brow at him. "what does that mean Atrious?"

He looked at her a bit of a blank expression on his face a frown on his lips,"When I was younger they tried to use me to get them power artifacts...My only friend and I... He was from the village- another reason they hate me. We were down below- in the hatch you were looking at earlier... There is a forge there- one must be powerful to use it- My friend and I figured out how to use it with out all of that- and they exploited us- however when we showed it to them in our childish ignorance with out talking to the Arch mage first- my friend was used as a sacrifice...They killed my only friend and the village blamed me... hell I blamed me..." He told her the truth-he has nothing to hide from her- most at the college thought he killed his friend but he and the arch mage knew the truth. He looked a bit depressed but he smiled at her," How ever I'm happy that I have some one to confide in now. Thanks again Neve- really...It makes me feel better I don't have to lie."

Neve raised a hand to her mouth in shock when he told her about the Thalmor. 'Bastards...' She thought before moving to fidget with her bow a bit in the last few worse. "Yeah well if I ever become annoying it a hindrance let me know." She said before giving him a light smile of her own.
"I'm happy your honest with me...most people aren't.." She muttered before she looked to him. "So that is the power they want now?"

"Its more or less an unlimited power source that can grant them things more or less-the one here is a large powered orb its dwarven in decent if i read the text books right- however its trapped underground right now. There is also a forge of great power here that can be used to made weapons, armor and even summon creatures as I do...They are just seeking any and all power they can et so they can take control of Skyrim. Thats my guess." He sadi looking at her slightly uneasy- she didn't need to see either of the college power sources just yet- when it got to it he would take her if needed- but it was dangerous getting threw the dwarven ruin.

Neve was a bit lost as to why Atrious looked so uneasy as he spoke of this power source things. SHe knew they held alot of darkness in his life but still...think of all the power just lying at his feet...He could do so much with it.
She shook the thought off, knowing her own power play thoughts weren't wanted here. "So I am guessing by that look you're not going to let me near them hm?" She asked, not wanting to push him into a dark mood again.

He looked back at her with a smile," On'y if I have to...They are dangerously addictive things- however if you insist I will show you the forge. Not the other- its dangerous there." he said with a smirk knowing she just might have insisted to see these things that were so worth while- she was more of a 'show me' person in his opinion.

Neve raised a brow, her looked slightly coy. "Sure, you know I love dangerous things." SHe said folding her hands behind her back and looked him. "Let's go. I'm bored and this sounds exciting."
