Espio vs Gun Safety

[turnip_rage]

[It's not all that surprising that Espio can actually use handguns. When it comes to class, after all, he is a very hard worker even on subjects he doesn't like, and the training he's taken has at least covered basic firearm usage and safety

Are you okay?

[turnip_rage]

Ah!

[Oh, hi! Espio is slightly startled by sudden Tobias.]

I'm fine.

[heartcorrupt]

[Tobias is ninja. Why have you not learned this yet?]

I'm glad, then.

[turnip_rage]

...thanks.

[He's still not going to expect Tobias around every corner! ...he kind of expects Marco around every corner, though, with the frequency he pops up out of nowhere.]

But remind me never to throw a gun, even if it annoys me. It's a bad idea.

I know that guns are projectile weapons, but that is probably the most unique way I've seen them used since--oh, the time I decided that smacking a Scarlet Crusader to death with my bow was a good idea, since I was out of arrows.

[If Katsura is mocking anyone, it's mostly herself, but there's still a slight smile on her lips.]

I'll take it as a given that that's not your preferred method.

[turnip_rage]

[Espio glares at the Instructor. He was sure nobody had been around to see! He instantly takes on a defensive tone, snapping at her.]

No. It's not. I'd rather not use guns at all.

[kat_asks_later]

Any specific reason? Or just prefer your fists? [She had said she'd like to observe...she just did it sneaky like! Though Kat doesn't react to the snap, seeming genuinely curious.]

[turnip_rage]

[Shrug. He has his reasons, but he doesn't want to share on this occasion.]

Prefer my fists? I suppose you could say that.

Even things we think of as monsters have lives too you know.

[She's been sitting nearby, watching him more out of curiosity than anything else. Even for all the things she's seen, Deedlit has never seen anyone that looks quite like that. Still, since he seems fed up with his gun practice, it seems like a good time to come forward for that promised indirect magic demonstration.]

No life should be taken lightly, not even theirs. [She gestures at the grats near by.]

[turnip_rage]

[Oh, hello. So, this is the "elf" then, is it? She sounds... kinda hippie-ish. Espio vaguely wonders if that's usually the case with elves.

He shakes his head.]

So do plants.

[lovesthehero]

[The response was so unexpected that it startles a smile out of her as she practically all but beams at Espio. At last someone who understood.]

Exactly!

[turnip_rage]

[Don't get too excited, Deedlit! Espio thinks she didn't quite grasp his tone.]

...right.

So what do you want? Are you the one who's gonna show me some magic?
