"A duel then." She drew her blade.
"Uhm I'm unarmed now." I stopped myself when I reached for the empty space at my back where my arrows and bow normally rest.

"It's not a 'date' shadow."
"Our dual then... See you tomorrow, be at the fountain at dawn." She nodded at my wrist. Walking away from the hall flipping her dagger in the air simply catching it again.
I watched her walk away her chestnut hair catching in the sunlight. Her coffee brown eyes glanced once again at me.
