It’s good that he’s learned by now that he can’t really hurt her with a single arrow. Even ‘hurt’ is a generous term, given that neither of them can feel pain. Still, she wiggles her outstretched fingers in an encouraging way (teasing, really, because in some ways Nikolai is starting to feel like a little brother) until he nocks the arrow and takes aim.
Then the demigod grows still, focus taking over her body as she narrows in on the weapon and tries to still everything else in her head. That’s the hardest part, isn’t it?
When Nikolai shoots at her, he’s smart enough to aim for an area that’s more difficult for her to catch - anything below her hips. So she does end up moving, a quick yoink of her legs together to make the arrow go just outside her legs. “Again!” she calls, stepping back into her original position, to see if the boy could continue to place it near her.
