Sam wasn't sure what pistols at dawn was going to entail, but he was pretty sure it would not entail a duel. Ninety percent sure at least. Eighty percent sure if he was really, really low balling it. He was 100% sure though that it was going to require pistols and being up at dawn.
The pistols were found, albeit with some effort, down in Rapture. He spent even more time looking for a decent amount of ammunition for her as well. He had even run across a bottle of booze down there that he thought she might like. It was sort of a peace offering. He'd already apologize profusely, but he figured a hard earned bottle of alcohol would go a long way.
The up at dawn part wasn't all that difficult either. Somehow the novelty of sleeping late wore off pretty quick when it wasn't a luxury anymore. Sometimes he even got up that early to go running. This morning, there was a ten percent chance he was going to get shot at. At the worst, twenty percent chance.
So maybe he was slightly nervous while he waited for Kate, but he was also looking forward to it. It wasn't that he was eager to learn to shoot, but if someone was going to teach him, he wasn't going to turn away the offer.
