Clint couldn't help the small grin that broke over his face, and didn't try. It's always nice to find someone willing to share his hobbies, and even if she wound up sucking at least she was trying. He'd be willing to teach her. Though he's not too sure about holding a pig.
Ahh well, he's done weirder.
"Sure - just let me show you what you gotta do first." Unlike a lot of other stuff involving aim, throwing darts isn't really that complicated, but there are a couple of tricks to it. Clint moves a step so she can see him better from side on, talking as he pulls the first dart from the second set out of his pocket. "You don't want to hold it too firmly, or you're just gonna knock it off its path. Tips of your fingers. Some people've got special grips they like, but it doesn't really matter where your fingers are so long as you're not chucking it like a rock. The fins on the back'll stabilize it as it flies, see? So you just pull back with your arm, like this-" and he demonstrates, bringing the dart up about level with his shoulder "-and then push it forward." And he suited words to actions and threw, hitting another bullseye. "Okay, you try," he said, holding out the darts in exchange for the pig. "Just don't be too surprised if you don't get it right away. And DON'T throw when anyone could be in the way."
