He smirks faintly and eases the bow's tension once more to accept an arrow from his friend. There is still the matter of actually holding the arrow properly on the string however and he accidentally lets it fall off the string when he tries to nock it.
"Stars above..." he curses softly as he bends to pick it up. At least the quiver won't run out of arrows?
... Somehow, it is terribly endearing to see Hades - always so capable and powerful - fall prey to such rookie clumsiness. As he watches, a mischievous idea strikes Hythlodaeus, and he takes a small step back, placing himself so that Hades will not easily see what he's doing.
"Oh, 'tis normal to struggle with the arrows at first. Take your time, Hades."
... Aaaand he will use the brief pause to take out his shellphone and start filming, as stealthily as he can.
Grumbling under his breath, he straightens and fits the arrow back on to the string. He doesn't realise Hythlodaeus has begun to film him.
"Bah, this is why I preferred the gun when I discovered it. Easy to load, easy to fire."
He draws back the string again and sights along the bow. His fire shield is still in place around the target. Aiming as he would for a gun, he looses the arrow...and it strikes the lower edge of the target.
