[He gives her a thoughtful look.]

Do you know how to shoot a gun?

[takeabow]

Yes... But I don't like to.

[tallasaking]

Could you teach someone who wants to learn? I am helpless with a bow and arrow.

[takeabow]

To shoot a gun? Yeah, maybe. Probably, I mean. Sure.

[tallasaking]

[He lifts an eyebrow at her.]

... can you teach me how to shoot a gun without shooting myself in the foot?

[takeabow]

Yes. I won't screw up on aim, I promise.

[tallasaking]

All right then.

[And with that, he is taking out his gun, and handing it to her.]

[takeabow]

...You're carrying this around and you don't know how to use it?

[tallasaking]

Oh yes. Pointing it at people seems to be effective, and since I built it I have just kept the safety switch device active at all times. But no, I do not know how to shoot it.

[takeabow]

Okay. We can work on that. Watch for a few shots, then we'll probably go through it in a dry run so you can't, I don't know, accidentally kill anyone. And then try it with live ammunition?

[ waiting for his confirmation before showing off her skills. that poor tree ]

[tallasaking]

All right, that sounds like a reasonable enough explanation and objective.

[He handed over the gun.]

[takeabow]

[ takes some practice shots just to be sure, though the augment fills in any gaps she might have had. she'll proceed through the steps she laid out, showing him in a dry run how it functions before letting him shoot live rounds ]

[tallasaking]

[Tyrion watched with sharp eyes, following every step she had gone through, before going to try and copy it.]

[takeabow]

Good. You're lucky because a lot of these doesn't have much recoil, so you don't have to worry about kickback.

[tallasaking]

Considering that kickback would quite literally send me to the floor ... yes that is quite good.

[takeabow]

At least it wouldn't be a far fall?

[tallasaking]

...As always your tact is at the forefront, Nova.

[takeabow]

[ reflexively ]

Sorry. Anyway, the only thing to do from here is practice.

[tallasaking]

[He nodded his head gravely, before taking the pistol from her to aim at the target. He squinted one eye, and then let one bullet fire.

...which very nearly had him knocked on his ass, but he only misstepped and sent his shot into a corresponding tree.]

Ah ... Hm. Yes. Practice.

[takeabow]

You'll get there.

[tallasaking]

I certainly hope so or I shall be solidly upon my arse.
