[ Cara spends most of her time down at security, checking out the weapons and learning how to hold them, handle them. She's not reckless enough to test them on the ship itself but she does dismantle one of the guns and lays it out on the table and then stares at it for a long time before struggling to put it back together.

Otherwise, she's in the kitchen trying to make the stove work. ]

[Furiosa comes by to check in on Cara, and see how she's settling in. She watches her struggle with the gun for a moment, and then walks up to her.]

Not exactly familiar with firearms, I take it?

[ Cara scowls. ]

Not yet.

Do you want some help? They were a big part of my world. I grew up with them.

[ Cara looks scandalized. ]

I don't need help.

Okay.

[She's going to sit back and watch.]

How are you settling in?

[ She turns her head, perplexed. ]

Why would I settle?

You don't have much of a choice. It's not like you get to leave anytime soon.

There's always a choice. I will make do, but I will not settle for anything less than my departure from this place.

[Furiosa shrugs.] Suit yourself.

[She is just as ready to go back as the day she arrived, but having a place to call her own? That was something she wanted to take advantage of.]

You sure you don't need any help with that gun?

[ Cara already has a place: with Richard. She's not going to trade that for the Fleet. ]

No. I've already been taught the basics. The rest, I must master.

As long as you're not mastering it wrong. You get in the middle of a firefight, it's nice if the gun fires.

[There's certainly something to be said for figuring it out yourself, but given the luxury of time and relative peacefulness they have here, Furiosa figures she's got some useful knowledge on the subject.]
