[Rico is sat on the bottom bed of a bunk bed, carefully inspecting each part of a disassembled pistol, before putting it back in place. She continues this without looking up, until she's finally finished putting it back together. She looks at the gun with a pleased smile, quickly checking that everything is as it should be

Pretty sure that's illegal. How old are you, ten?

[collareddog]

Thirteen, Signore. [Not that she looks it. Or that it makes it that much better.]

[house_1_god_0]

Three years off. Point remains. Unless you're from some weird universe where it's okay for kids to just run around with pistols, then just don't take out your anger on your middle school.

Or whatever.

Don't worry, Signore. I have to practise using my guns regularly, so I know how to use them. And I don't think the others in my class would attempt to harm my handler, so there's no reason for me to attack them.

I should just stop being surprised at this place.

[collareddog]

Surprised?

The only little kids with guns I tend to see are the ones that got into mommy and daddy's closet and decided to play with the fun toy.

Signore Jean says that thinking of it as a toy is what gets you killed, because it can make you careless.

[house_1_god_0]

Good to know that you've been educated. Still.

[collareddog]

It isn't a problem if I know what I'm doing, though.

[house_1_god_0]

No, it's still a problem.

[collareddog]

Why, Signore?
