"...um.. sure. I'll see what I can do.."
[i]Niki motioned for Rose to follow her to the armory, knocking on the wooden counter to draw the smith's attention. The smith was a burly man, old, yet seemed to be doing well for his age. Tattoos were strewn across his muscled arms, as soft brown eyes would lay upon the bаstard girl.[/i]
"[b]Mornin', Silver. Where's Gold, trainin'?[/b]"
"I think he is, or vying for the attention of that Guardian girl.. Oliver's crazy for her.
...I need a sheet of steel. For my friend here."
"[b]...I serve weapons 'n armor to thee. You'll hafta pay, metal ain't cheap.[/b]"
"Can I pay you back when we get back to Trayve?"
"[b]Nope. Right 'ere 'n now, lass. Sorry.[/b]"
"You know what Isabella would do-"
"[b]If I denied ya rightful services, I know. She beat a smithie into the ground when he refused 'er, I know. Dumb ol' Morgen.. hold on.[/b]"
[i]The old smith sighed, before returning with a heavy sheet of steel. Niki smiled a little, bowing towards him.[/i]
"[b]Don't tell Freya. Why'd you need it?[/b]"
"Magic stuff."
"[b]...Please. Stay safe.[/b]"
[i]As Niki handed the sheet to Rose, she smiled, as the smith went back to his work.[/i] "I hate to.. to threaten like that, if that was a threat. But Isabella.. she'd do a lot for me. She's always been surprisingly good to me."

"I definitely can, yeah. Guns are easy, but sword fighting will take a bit. But I can teach you it all." She grinned, flashing a smile at Niki as she thought about magic in bed.
-
"Let's start with guns, then. It'll have to be out of here, though.. just you and me, babe."
-
"You, me, a couple high powered rifles... That sounds like one hell of a time." Rose grinned, leaning forward to kiss Niki then.
-
[i]Niki would accept the kiss once more, being a lot more passionate than she had been beforehand. When they would break away, she was still close to Rose's face.[/i] "...still yet to tell me what a high powered rifle is. Though.. you mentioned that it is a gun, still don't know what those are."
-
Rose let out a short laugh. "A rifle is a type of gun, a gun being basically a much stronger, easier to use bow."
-
"Oh.. that's an easy explanation, I guess. Lead the way, Rose. Rose, Rose, Rose-!" [i]Niki had a certain love for the name "Rose" - and the person of which it belonged to, obviously.[/i]
-
Rose giggled, going about dressing completely now, and getting herself some coffee. She poured a cup, grabbed her rifle, and then motioned to follow out to the training yard.
-
[i]Niki would soon follow, encasing herself within a simple, comfortable robe. One that wasn't stylish nor baggy, but still lined with insulation and fitting to wear.[/i]
-
Heading off to grab a few bottles, Rose lined them up, six in total, on a barrier, to which she them turned to Niki. "Pistol or rifle?"
-
"Rifle." [i]Indeed, Niki wanted to witness this "easy to use" bow on her own. It's odd existence and functions interested her, to some degree.[/i]
-
Pulling her sword, Amanda switched it to its rifle formation, and then instructed Niki on how to properly stand, what stance t use, how to shoot it, how to work with recoil, etc.
-
[spoiler]Amanda? Lol.[/spoiler] [i]Niki found the actual shooting preparations to be the most fun. Similar to earlier, she was an able and quick learner, recognizing the patterns of utilizing the rifle - even though the kick made her yelp a little out of sudden shock.[/i]
-
Eventually Rose knew Niki would get used to it, but for now the bandit grinned, watching her handiwork in teaching "With a bit more practice, you'll be a natural!"
-
"Could be.." [i]Niki murmured, almost in an uncomfortable, unconfident manner, before finally nailing the target in the center. It scared the crap out of her, but..[/i] "...no, will be." [i]She smiled a little, nodding.[/i]
-
Rose noticed her lover's hesitation, and worried for a second before it was that Niki hit the bottle. She didn't want to force it on Niki, but would help her either way. "Its likens sword, practice makes perfect. I know they're loud, but guns and firearms are powerful weapons, especially when you get bigger and bigger."
-
"The noise is okay.. battles are exceptionally loud, and I haven't even really fought in one. Maneuvered throughout them and supporting the troops, on the other hand.." [i]Niki fired again, the round slamming through another bottle.[/i] "This is.. extraordinarily relaxing, ironically enough. It's.. fun, even. Thanks, Rose.." [i]She would smile a little, nodding towards Rose with a loving grin.[/i]
-
Rose smirked. "Its usually how I pass the time and relax. Things like this are normally relaxing for me, glad to see you enjoy it too." Beaming then as she finished speaking, Rose turned her head and looked out to where the bottles where, Niki having hit most of them.
-
"Ha. Not surprised, it's actually rather fun.." [i]One final shot, and Niki would check the chamber, before nodding after ensuring that it was empty.[/i] "...Wow."
-
Rose took it back, ejecting the magazine and pulling another from a pocket, slamming it in and then transforming the weapon back to its gladius form, sheathing it. Then, she pulled a revolver, and handed it over.
-
[i]Niki would take the revolver, ensuring that it was on safety before studying it. From there, she checked the chamber, though that was all that she knew to do with a revolver at the time.[/i]
-
After a bit she gestured for Niki to shootm
-
[i]Utilizing the iron sights was.. difficult, but eventually she would manage. Eventually, as in her third shot, as she began blasting the bottles apart.[/i]
-
Rose grinned, watching the bottles fragment and the shards fly everywhere.
-
[i]After a fee more shots, Niki reloaded, firing a few more after smiling widely.[/i] "Holy.. wow, this is amazing! I'm.. probably the fourth best shooter in the Trayven army, technically. Gun shooter, I mean."
-
"Well yeah, obvious reasons apply. I don't know why it is you're people are all sword n board and all. Magic I can understand." Rose shrugged then.
