Seren shot a few more times and after a while she returned inside, leaving only Darion outside. The bow and arrows were temporarily hers now so he did not return them to Garren. She also took the targeting board with her.
Now Darion stood alone.
He felt good about the conversation. Not excited, just settled.
Seren had said yes without much deliberation, which told him the idea had been accepted willingly rather than something she was agreeing to out of politeness.
For a moment there he had expected she wouldn't agree, maybe say something like:
'This wasn't the agreement! I'm not teaching anyone! Fuck you'
But she had agreed, and easily because she genuinely thought this was a good idea and would do it.
The courtyard went back to being a courtyard and soon he found Garren near the barracks, talking to two knights about something he couldn't hear from a distance. When he saw Darion approaching he said something brief to them and they dispersed.
