Aim for the High Score!

[Seraphina]

A nervous smile offered to Circe.

“Awww! You’re too sweet Mary! But don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” She teases her friend with a light laugh.

Turning to listen as Circe spoke of her first attempt, she nods, taking in what was said. “Could have been worse.” Could have been better, but this was something completely out of her comfort zone. Something she never pictured herself doing. “Well, I’m not one to shy away from learning, and now that I know what they feel like, maybe I’ll have better luck my next try!” trying to be positive. This was something she was going to have to keep working at. It wasn’t going to overnight. A nod, “Exhale then squeeze? Ok, I’ll try that.” Then as Circe shows the aiming, Sera will try to mimic what the other Fairest does. “That might make things a bit smoother.” She almost said easier, but this was not going to be easier.

So, she does that, aims like Circe showed her, exhales as she squeezes the trigger. And low and behold, she hits it! Now, usually, the Nix would celebrate when she was successful at something, but this didn’t feel like the place to do that.

Instead? She puts safety on, puts the gun down, and looks to Circe with a proud smile. Then goes through the motions of the magazine from before, then takes the ear protection off. “Clear!”

Looking to Alice, “What can I say? I love to learn new things.” The proud smile still on her face. “If you’re going to give your teacher one hundred percent, why waste their time?” asks the angelic voice.

"All who encounter me before coffee would shout objection, oh ho ho ho!" She laughs with Seraphina. Then nods, a lot, when Seraphina says it could have been worse. Circe had dealt with worse. "It is one of two schools of pistol shooting Sarah. Precision: one shot one kill. The other is dakka. More fun, but harder with pistol. In Cali, it is kind of restricted to stuff that isn't legal outside of Hollywood, and we can't rent here. We'd have to go to Texas," she jerks her thumb towards the door. "Could shoot a BIG stuff too. Arizona is closer, but they prefer big irons on their hips."


Yes, Circe starts humming a song after that line. She can hum a tune and pay attention to Seraphina.


Circe observes as Seraphina takes the time to aim before shooting. A grand success. "Excellent Sarah!" She praises her friend. "The longer you take lining it up, the more effective it is. Good way to learn. Start slow, then go fast. And no, I won't teach you dakka today. Doing it manually is an advanced technique. We have to master the basics first." Which was just common sense. "And I don't think they rent assault weapons here," Circe actually pouts at this fact. What, they were fun!


"Yes it is Alice," she nods in agreement. Though the Summer wouldn't call herself a brilliant teacher, she did not just edu-mah-cate on the street. "She is such a good student! I'm glad she doesn't need the school of hard knocks. Such terrible students, they never learn," she cuts herself off from mentioning the broken muggers. Not something to admit to doing amongst so many witnesses.


"Good handling on the pistol Alice. Your preferred option?" It is nice to talk to a fellow gunner. Even if she can't go all in on the talk, due to well, gun running. Circe can get some stuff in.
