[ssagittifolia]

[Her arrow is released in a smooth swoop as she turns to face him, hair swooshing to settle perfectly over her shoulders. The loud thunk of metal piercing wood makes for a satisfying sound. A smile crosses her face, the sort of smile that widens when she takes in the attractive man standing in front of her.

Her brows raise.] I didn't know there was a current fashion. But the color suits me.

[universal_charm]

Oh, that it does. 

_{[ There is an odd cadence to his words, soft pauses between each, giving his face time to move with that smile, the up and down of his brows that was anything but lewd, just an added mix to his smile. ]}

The bow is a unique accessory, though. Not many women would be able to pull it off.

[ssagittifolia]

[It's charming, in a distinctive sort of way. Perhaps it's a matter of intelligence. Not that it matters all that much. The dumber they are, the easier they tend to be to manipulate. Hadn't she always been taught such things?

Regardless, that smile of his more than makes up for any other faults. And for it, he receives a chuckle rather than a scowl.]

If that's what you think, you should meet my twin sister. She's almost as good as I am.

[universal_charm]

A twin? Well, I can say I didn't see that coming, though I doubt she's as lovely as you in purple.

_{[ He grins at her and takes her hand, bringing it to his lips and kissing it softly. ]}

James Kirk - Captain James Kirk, at your service. I just recently came in from my latest voyage.

[ssagittifolia]

Artemis is more than lovely in her own right.

[But even as she smiles, there's a deadly glint in her grey eyes. No one, not a single living soul, insulted her sister in any way. Or did so and lived. Even if the man had meant it as a compliment, it walked a very, very thin line.]

Katniss Barton.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He felt the name might have meant something, if he were around more often, but he was so out of the gossip ring from home. Probably a good thing, considering his father may or may not have been the topic of such things - or even himself. Oh there was a thought wasn't it? ]}

Well, Miss Barton, could I bother you for a bowman-ship lesson?

[ssagittifolia]

[Perhaps if he spent more time around town and less time gallivanting on adventures, he might just recognize the name. All those in Luceti knew Clint Barton was not a man to be trifled with. Double goes for his twin daughters. Twin daughters that he happens to be very protective of.

Not that Katniss cared to enlighten him in any way.

Instead, she just tilts her head, considering his question for just a second longer than necessary.] You could. But I expect something in return.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He probably would if yes, he hadn't been doing that, but could you blame him? This was a crazy town, and even his own family was crazy with all that melo-drama! Voyaging was a nice escape, got him away, and brought a lot of surprises when he came back. This one would be interesting, to be sure, when it finally clicked. ]}

Oh? And what would the lady require?

_{[ He might be posing the tiniest bits, subtle shifts in his posture and the cants of his mouth. ]}

[ssagittifolia]

[She watches with blatant and obvious interest as he makes subtle changes in his posture. While he certainly knows how to flaunt his assets, she's also forever wary. Her father taught both her and Artemis well. Don't ever underestimate an opponent. Or anyone for that matter.

A second or two later, she quirks an eyebrow.] What do you have to offer?

[universal_charm]

_{[ Good and sound advice, especially in their little town. ]}

Interesting conversation about far away places - which goes quiet well over dinner, I find. 

[ssagittifolia]

[She purses her lips, pretending to consider his awful for a few seconds longer than necessary. She has every intention of accepting. But it's more fun to make boys sweat, even if it's just a little.]

Dinner you'll be paying for?

[universal_charm]

Madame, I was raised a gentleman, and am a Captain.

_{[ He rears back the tiniest bit, offended, like some great stallions whose beauty was questioned. ]}

[ssagittifolia]

[Her smile widens in genuine amusement. And while he rears back, she can't help but take a few steps forward. Enough to run the fletching of an arrow down his chest.]

Not too much of a gentleman, I hope.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He raised a brow, but had to smile at the other. She really was a flirty, thing, wasn't she? And he would be rude not to return her attentions. He never liked hurting a lady's feelings. ]}

I am a modern gentleman, Miss Barton, I assure you.

_{[ He reached up, stilling the fletching of her arrow, thumb rubbing through the feathers as he watched her, slowly heading down to brush her hand. ]}

[ssagittifolia]

[Her eyes flickered down to where his thumb now rested against her hand. A modern gentleman, huh?

Oh, she could work with that.

She chewed on her lip thoughtfully for a moment before looking back up at him, smiling flirtatiously. She took a step closer, so very few inches remained between them.]

And just how modern are we talking?

[universal_charm]

Well, let's just say there won't be a chaperone.

_{[ He grinned with a wicked little glint in his eye, head cocked just a bit and his thumb stroked her hand. ]}

[ssagittifolia]

[A pleased look flashed in her eyes at his response. Daring captain just blown into town. Completely unaware of who she was, of the family she came from. It was exhilarating, really. Just the sort of rush that Katniss lived for lately.

She tilted her head and smiled oh-so-sweetly.] We don't have a chaperone now. Consider this a down payment for lessons.

[And with that, she pressed her lips against his in a kiss.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He opened his mouth respond with some sort of quip, but she was to fast. Her mouth was on his and he was rather glad he had not gotten the chance to speak after all. His arms slid around her curvy waist, tugging her closer, the arrow between them, fletching tickling him through his shirt as he kissed her back. He wasn't bad at it either, if he did say so himself, and any number of women with broken hearts across the seas. ]}

[ssagittifolia]

[She wasn't looking for a broken heart, only a good time. That thrill of flirting with danger. She knew full well that her father wouldn't approve of any kind of dalliance with a sea captain. And that made kissing the boy all the more fun.

Even as the fletching of the arrow tickled her as well, she ignored it in favor of deepening the kiss.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ Well, she was a feisty one, wasn't she? Not that he minded in the least. He hummed, keeping her close as he met her kiss, though a part of him wondered if he shouldn't really know her. She had hinted he might, but what did it matter? She was gorgeous and he was kissing her, so was there much else to think about?}

He pulled back, his lips spread in a cocky grin. ]

Shall we retire somewhere a bit more private? And less likely to get us shot at with an arrow?

_{[ He held up said arrow, brushing the feathers against her cheek. ]}

[ssagittifolia]

[She giggled, coy and not the least bit bashful. As the feathers tickled her cheek, she reached out to place a hand over his and still the actions. Though she had to give him credit: the action had been cute. And he was a damn good kisser.]

What happened to lessons?
