Dojo workout (Closed to Clint/Hawkeye)

[parisprincetroy]

Paris entered the dojo, searching for either Natasha or Clint. He spotted the archer and headed over to him greeting him with a friendly smile. "Not sure if you remember me? I'm Paris. You were going to give me some tips on modern archery? That is if you're available today. If not, I can come back another time?"

"I've got time," Clint didn't quite smile, but then he wasn't really a smiler. "And of course I remember you. Not a lot of well known archers in history man."

Lucky shot or not, the guy was part of the whole death of Achilles by an arrow in the heel mythos.

"I for one am grateful that you know me for my archery skills instead of my other crimes." It was refreshing, this village that no one watched him pass by and whisper behind his back.

"I brought my old bow with me." The one he used to slay Achilles with, it had been in the hotel room along with a quiver of arrows (including the arrow that killed his nemesis). "But I suppose I should learn your type of bow." He motioned to the modern looking device with its sleek design.

"Your arrows, why are they different? I've never seen one with its hilt made of metal instead of feathers." He asked picking up one to study it.

"Crimes are relative," Clint had blood in his own ledger, enough that he wouldnt judge.

"And you don't need to learn a newer bow unless you want to. They haven't changed much. Materials, some bells and whistles, but basically it's the same weapon." He pulled one of the student bows own to put it on the counter in case Paris wanted to look at it. It was a compound bow, not as high tech as his own but certainly more so than a traditional longbow.

"And that one's actually aluminum and carbon fiber. I have some traditional wooden ones as well, but the composite one's have more spine. And they don't warp."

Paris listened to what Clint had to say and took it all in, fascinated by what was told to him.

The Trojan inspected the more modern bow intrigued by its design and the fact that it did not warp. He picked it up and studied the strength of it, "It feels more durable and from the material of the bowstring, I gather the arrows can fly further? Can I test this one?"
