"Didn't intend for first impressions to be this mess, hooked up to wires and shit while the eddheads run tests."
She shrugged, a few of the scientists rolling their eyes.

-
[i] Adrien somehow haf bullets left, and went through a magazine as she arrived. [/i]
-
She grinned under the helmet, watching him as fiddled with the armor a bit.
-
[i]Adrien holstered the pistol a second later and looked around, eventually realizing Minx was there. He smiled a little bit as he thought of a fitting joke. "Jesus, which of us is the stalkerish one now?" [/i]
-
She looked up at him from a holographic interface on her gauntlet. "Didn't want to startle you is all."
-
[i]"Well thanks, though it couldn't have done me any worse in the shooting." [/i]
-
She shrugged. "You'd be surprised actually."
-
[i]"What do you mean?" [/i]
-
"People are idiots at times, easiest way to describe it."
-
[i]"Very true. Especially those dudes wearing knight armour in the city." [/i]
-
"Yeah, they are.... Special. Most haven't seen an actual gun." She shrugged. "Some gawk at my armor and yell blasphemy."
-
[i]"I had one guy call me a heretic for using a phone." [/i]
-
"Sounds about right, welcome to Tatakai. You tend to learn to tune it all out."
-
[i]"Damn do I hope."[/i]
-
She nodded then. "So, see your not that bad of a shot."
-
[i]"Why thank you." [/i]
-
"You said you weren't that great." She shrugged then, knowing he was lying. "So, fired anything else yet?"
-
[i]"Nah, not any guns." [/i]
-
She nodded then, gesturing to the rifle. "That should roughly be a .44, try firing that."
-
[i]Adrien grabbed the rifle and lined up a shot. Rather than firing several at once, Adrien was rather restrained in his shooting, firing one round at a time and carefully tapping the trigger. [/i]
-
She stepped closer then, watching his shots carefully.
-
[i]He aimed for centre mass, slamming the bullets into the chest of the targets. [/i]
-
She waited, watching his stance for the time being.
-
[i]To his credit, Adrien did maintain a proper shooting stance. Legs spread at shoulder width, both hands on the gun, all of it. [/i]
-
She grinned again, maybe he wasn't as bad as she thought. Though, could he hit moving targets. Walking to the next stall over, she hit a button on a control panel, and each of the targets started moving slowly.
-
[i] Adrien shot a little bit slower now, taking the time to line up the barrel with the target's projected pathway. He fired well and managed to hit a good half of his shots, though he definitely had room for improvement. [/i]
