How To Shoot Straight, Monday

"Your trip is next week," Atton said. "So I think this is as good a time as any to end the block on handguns."

They were in the gun range again. He was waving at... guns, yes.

"I want you guys to team up," he said. "One of you has to get the gun, go through all of the safety measures we've talked about, and score at least twenty-five points on the moving targets at the back of the range. The other one takes notes about their point score and whether they're doing everything correctly. Yes, you're allowed to correct each other, and if the other person does it right the second time, they pass. If the other person then behaves like a stubborn idiot and does it wrong anyway, they lose points."

He clapped his hands.

The little round targets at the back of the range - some marked '1 point', some '5 points', and occasionally, one '10 points' - started moving from side to side.

"When you're done, swap places. Okay, go."

Atton's watching all of you.

Find your partner, figure out who's doing the whole run first, and then go get ready and shoot some points.

Alluka looked around for a partner, half-expecting to be chosen last since, well, hey. It wasn't like she had a lot of experience in the whole being picked thing.

She patted the little stuffed flower in her pocket (Mr. Bubbles did not get carried around during Atton's class) and tried not to worry about it. Someone would pick her, right?

Ringo hadn't actually been avoiding Alluka during this class so far, but the subject matter had left her uncomfortable enough that she hadn't been paying proper attention to her friend.

She wasn't feeling particularly more comfortable with guns today, but she was relieved when she looked around for a partner and spotted Alluka.

"Hey," she said, managing an awkward grin as she walked over. "Do you have a partner yet?" She hoped she'd gotten there in time to be first.

"I don't!" Alluka beamed at Ringo. "Do, do you have a partner?"

Maybe she was just saying hello?

"Not yet." Ringo smiled in relief.

"Will you be mine?"

There was a Valentine's Day joke in there somewhere, but Alluka didn't notice.

"Oh, yes, please! Did you want to go first?"

Yeah, Ringo was too nervous to catch it either.

She was too busy smiling a bit nervously and licking her lips. "Um, do you?" Because Ringo didn't want to say she didn't want to go first, but she totally didn't want to go first.

Alluka's expression shifted to something... a little more thoughtful. She was still smiling though.

"I can do it," Alluka said earnestly. "I don't mind."
