Chapter 8 - An idea

"Ha you're really getting the hang of that bow now aren't you?!" The Elytrian shouted across the opening they stood in.

A week or so had passed and the two hybrids had stuck to their promise of training with each other every morning. In fact both seemed to look forward to it (not that Techno would admit that of course).

They had gotten to the point where they were full on sparring each other with the weapon they were learning with. It was quite impressive how the both of them had gone from complete novices to skilled fighters, Techno with the bow, and [y/n] with the sword.

"What can I say," Techno shouted back, ducking under an arrow shot by the winged girl in front of him, "I'm a natural."

"Pfff." The girl scoffed, "Only because I've been going easy on you though, I could've hit you on any of those shots, I was missing on purpose." She said smugly in a way that Techno couldn't tell if she was joking or not.

Over the last week they had gotten to know each other much better, and would happily call themselves acquaintances. Techno learning of [y/n]'s sarcastic and cunning side, it made him realise how much he had missed playful banter without any negativity lurking behind the conversation.

She reminded him so much of Tommy in the way she acted, but he also saw his other brother Wilbur in her, that mysterious yet intriguing side that always made him want to ask more questions but was too afraid to.

On the other hand [y/n] had come to understand the Piglin hybrid's reasons even more, with her asking about his brothers and what they were up to during the days. She found herself wanting to meet them, finding similar traits and quirks in the brothers that she found in herself. God, they could have the best conversations if they ever met.

She also found herself entranced by the Piglin, how someone who looks so scary on the outside was actually a kind and nervous individual. She never discussed this with him of course, she could just tell. Like she said to him that one time, she was insightful.

All that time she had spent alone in the village, it was nice to finally be around someone other than her uncle. Not that she didn't mind his company of course, but with Techno... it just felt different.

"I'll believe you for now, if I wasn't so nice I'd say you just aren't that good of an aim." Techno replied to her previous statement, making the Elytrian gasp in shock at the remark.

Instead of saying anything back she almost instantaneously loaded an arrow and shot it at the hybrid, with the arrow catching his right shoulder sleeve making him stumble back slightly so that he was now pinned against the nearby oak tree behind him.

Her smile widened at the sight, she did think it was quite funny in her ability to prove the larger hybrid wrong. Plus it was a nice boost to her ego that had started to show whilst training.

"You were saying..." She retorted, inspecting her nails with a smug look on her face.

It wasn't the first time this had happened, not counting their first encounter as well. They definitely found a way to wind each other up while training. Unfortunately for Techno the sheer speed of the Elytrian at times was too much and most of the time ended up stuck to the tree behind him.

He pulled the arrow free and patted down his blouse that had become ruffled. "You gotta stop doing that, all my clothes are starting to get holes in them." He chuckled slightly.

"Eh, what can I say," She winked, "It's my trademark."

He was sure if it was any other person who shot holes in his clothes the voices would've made sure he ripped them apart. Not with [y/n] though, in fact as the week had progressed they had begged to get to their training sessions faster instead of begging for the blood they once used to desire.
