[Monday | After School]The archery club captain pulled me aside today after morning practice to tell me that I'm not performing to her standards

I'm sorry to hear about that...

If you're stressed though, maybe you should take it easy for a while.

[healingpink]

Easy for you to say.

[torawareta_tori]

U-Um... I'm sorry. I didn't mean...

I'm sorry...

[healingpink]

...I'm sorry for acting like this. You were just trying to be nice.

[twosidedfortune]

S'not like we came here to become noticed.

[fatal_requiem]

I agree.

[twosidedfortune]

No one ever said that we'd get praise for saving the world; they pretty much said the opposite.

.....um, w-who are you?

[fatal_requiem]

You should know that. We don't come here to be put on pedestals.

...

Don't worry about it.

[rundae_anna]

Well~ ...

... would you rather get a lecture on how to improve or pressured about how this whole 'Defeat The Shadows' thing is going on a daily basis?

Plus I really don't think they'd believe us if we told them what we do -- we do this because we're the only ones who can, right? :3;;

[healingpink]

It wasn't even on how to improve; she was just telling me that she expects more out of me.

Ever since I joined S.E.E.S., my archery's gotten much better. I guess when you're hitting moving targets, hitting the stationary ones is a lot easier. But lately, I've had other things on my mind, and because of it, my performance has suffered.

She doesn't understand that I'm not intentionally slacking off. If she just knew what we had to go through...

[rundae_anna]

Ahh, I see ...

Yeah ... while I haven't been to Tartarus very much, my archery's been getting better too -- shooting a stationary target is nothing compared to nailing a headshot on a shadow D: I wanna see them throw targets like THAT into archery clubs >> But regardless ... I think there's a lot on everyone's minds right now ... just ... different things.

I really wish we could just stand up and tell the world to give us a break because of what we're doing, but ... we just can't. The only way that could happen is if EVERYONE experienced the Dark Hour -- but that'd be sooo chaotic D:

[kreitzer_samuel]

That sucks....indeed it isn't fair, especially with all we do as part of SEES is train to fight Shadows...*sighs*

Unfortuantely, as much as it sucks to say it, all we can do really is make use of the time we have and use it to our best....but I will say that I know you're doing your best and giving it all, despite what your captain says.

I hope that helps.

[shelteringly]

I say you fire one of them practice arrows square up her ass.

Thanks, Taka.
