Boy oh boy do I sure love archery

It had been a normal morning like any other, you wake up, get ready and go out to...

Well, to do anything really.
Life in this world was boring when you had enough to survive.
You had food, water and necessary equipment.

With all this you just had to figure out how to live rather than how to survive.
Sure there where monsters every night but as long as you stayed inside and pretended they weren't there than well,
they weren't, or so it seemed but you didn't feel like going into extreme detail here.

You decided to go to the the forest not to far from your home.
You lived near a small community of players, quite boring honestly.

You currently lived near the edge of the little group very close to the edge of a little forest. You had been warned to not venture in too deep multiple times by some older players so you only went in to a point you still saw the border.
There you are far enough for some simple shooting practise but close enough for safety.

You had been shooting some simple targets when you heard someone speak.

"Your back is too bent"

"Heyy! I'm tying my best over here okay! "

"Tssk, whatever"

You looked at where the voice was coming from, it was a skeleton leaning against a tree seeming pretty relaxed in the daylight.
Their bow layed idly beside them as they where judging your every move.

"Well then... Skeleton lad, I'll keep your advice in mind but I wonder, why are you out here? So close to a player base nonetheless"

They stayed silent for a while likely contemplating if they would answer you.

("I forgor💀")

"I didn't properly pay attention to time... "

You couldn't help but snicker at the skeleton, you thought you where forgetful but this skeleton had practically forgotten to go inside so they wouldn't die.

"Hey it ain't funny! "

They angrily crossed their arm tapping their foot on the ground impatiently.
It only made this whole situation more ridiculous if you thought of it.

"Whatever you say pal, you're lucky no one in here likes the woods"

"Then why are you here? "

"So I don't accidentally kill someone while holding a bow"

"Well I suppose that's a good idea... with that posture of yours I'm surprised you haven't killed someone already... "

"Oh cut it out it's not that bad!"

There was a comfortable silence between you two until you realized something

"Why haven't you shot me yet? I mean, last time I check we're not supposed to get along. "

"... "

"Well? "

"If you would burn...'alive' the second you get from under this tree and there's an armed human in front of you, would you try to kill them? "

"So if it was night you would've just shoot me? "

"No questions asked. "

"... Wow... Point for honesty I guess"

It was the skeletons turn to snicker.

"My chief is gonna kill me" they said, the slight laugh still noticeable in their voice.

"Oh? "

"Well let's see... If you where to stay out all night without a warning and then randomly arrived back home somewhat around noon at your... parents house, what would you parents do? "

"Oh I'd be dead... Ohhh sucks to be you"

The skeleton nodded. "It is what it is"

You walked towards them rather suddenly and they flinched standing in a slightly defensive pose reached for their bow.
You held up you hands
"Calm down it's hot out for humans too"
As they relaxed you leaned next to them against the tree noting that this skeleton was kinda short.

"... "

"What? "

"... "

"What is it"

You Pat their head and they looked at you as if you just told them you saw a sugar plum Fairy.

"Are you seriously implying I'm short you fucking beanpole"

You couldn't help but burst out laughing at the insult the skeleton just threw at you, it didn't take long for them to start laughing along with you.

You stayed a their side for the rest of the day, to keep each other some company and they even showed you some tricks you could do with a bow.

It was around dawn the skeleton broke the mood.

"You should head back to your home, it'll be dark soon. "

"Will I see you again? "

"Maybe, maybe not, but you better work on that shrimp back of yours by that time"

You laughed a bit as you both stood up.
You gave them a playful punch against their shoulder and they returned the gesture.

As you walked to your little home on the edge you thought
Turns out things can still get interesting after all
