[tuned_wrong]

[He is sniping away at the targets, hitting one mortal area after another in a most professional looking way. The only thing that makes it look a little bit silly is that he is using the tip of his spine-like tail to block alternately the sight of his right and his left eye.

He keeps going faster and faster until he finally runs out of bullets and lowers his gun, breathing heavily.]

...So much to this.

[ghostofaqueen]

[Sarah lost interest in boring old targets a long time ago, but its still sometimes entertaining to watch other people do it. Plus, she can gauge their abilities in comparison to her own. She supposed that if she were the Queen of Blades, she might be making it more difficult by covering her eyes too.

Of course... that creature would be tearing open chest cavities for the laughs, so she was pleased to just be watching the odd display from Aion. Clearly he needed moving targets to make anything worthwhile.]

I'd suggest covering both eyes, but you're probably 'accidentally' shoot someone.

[tuned_wrong]

[He turns towards her and a small smile of recognition graces his face as he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face.]

Probably. [He chuckles under his breath.] Though I wonder if that were such a bad thing, in some cases.

[He shook his head to show that it was just a joke and put the gun away.]

Anyway, I need to keep practicing if I want to keep in shape. How do you do?

[ghostofaqueen]

Depends if I like the person you accidentally shoot or not. [She held up a hand quickly right after.] Don't worry, I happen to like very few people, so I doubt there will be issues.

[She crossed her arms over her chest and regarded the targets that he was shooting at. Those were some nice shots regardless of what eye was covered.]

Well, a sore shoulder and finger are indicators that you're doing it right.

[tuned_wrong]

[He laughs dutifully before he lowers his eyes as his cheerful posture falls apart.]

..what about sore eyes?

[ghostofaqueen]

[She raised an eyebrow at the shifted of his expression but said nothing about it.]

Stop trying to poke yourself in your eyes as an extra challenge, and you should do fine. Scopes were made for a reason.

[tuned_wrong]

[He lets out a small laugh at that and smirks at her even when his eyes remain serious.]

I haven't injured myself anymore with that ever since I was a hatchling. [HE sighs.] I'm already using the scope. I was trying to test out my limits.

[ghostofaqueen]

There are surprises around every corner or... tail in your case.

[She glanced at his weapon then at the target and back at the weapon again. She snorted softly.]

If you want a challenge, I suggest a target that fights back and can shoot you in return.

[tuned_wrong]

[He turned to look properly at her, turning his head lightly to the side as he smirks.]

Are you offering?

[ghostofaqueen]

[A smirk of her own appeared as she shrugged her shoulders.]

It can be an offer if you like.

[tuned_wrong]

I think I would like that. [He muses, voice a mix between evil and playful.

Then he frowns.]

But not here. We would trigger a minor panic if we suddenly open fire and start chasing each other all over the place. Which would be one fine way to introduce the new people to the Watch.

[ghostofaqueen]

Do you fancy using real bullets as well?

[She shrugged her shoulders, not particularly caring one way or another when it was started. She knew better than to fire into a crowd after all, even if it was in pursuit of a target. That was what knives were for.]

Well, it would make them have to catch someone and learn what real action is like in this place. It is a war after all.

[tuned_wrong]

More-so when I can heal the holes you might end up putting into me instantly. I've had a bad time of getting myself cut up recently.

[He smiles. What a rough woman.]

True, but they might end up attacking us for real in the process - and they are many enough to warrant that at least someone isn't going to miss if they just try often enough.

[ghostofaqueen]

I assume your dodging skills are as good as your shooting ones. If not, I'll try not to aim for anything too vital.

[She smirked.]

I suppose you have a point. It would be inconvenient to be attacked but a large group; they tend to turn mob-mentality after awhile.

[tuned_wrong]

[He grimaces and unfurls his wings to their full impressive size.]

Can I get a handicap?

[ghostofaqueen]

[She shook her head a little before setting her hands on her hips.]

You need one?

[tuned_wrong]

[He grimaced and twitched his wings once demonstratively in response.]

I have a lot of extra-space to be hit and am still cut and patched up from the recent fights. Do you really have that little empathy that you wouldn't mind shooting at an injured man without giving him even a chance?

[ghostofaqueen]

[She was certain he could tuck those in. Besides, the advantage of flight was rather real.]

Shooting an injured man? I have no problem with that. Giving you a chance? What kind do you want?

[tuned_wrong]

[It's an advantage, but only if your opponent doesn't count on it and there is plenty of space for dodging and hiding.

He laughs lightly at her reply.]

Somehow I had a feeling you would say that. [He touches his chin in thought.] Something to make it fair... Maybe a handicap or a terrain that lets me actually use my advantages since I'm still hurt.

[ghostofaqueen]

[She considered him for a long moment, eyes running over his body in search of weakness that would still be obvious even in a situation where he had his own set of advantages.]

Well, I'm pretty certain given a rifle, I could shoot you down. However, hurting you more isn't the point, is it? More to ease your boredom.

[tuned_wrong]

[There is still an obvious but mostly healed big tear on his left wing, but the rest - cuts from blades and claws both on the front and side of his torso - is carefully hidden away under his clothes.]

Exactly. So if you use a riffle I'd like to ask you to shoot paint bullets rather than real ones. [He grimaces dramatically.] I might not look like it, but I know firsthand how much a forced landing hurts.

[ghostofaqueen]

[She snorted softly at the mention of paint bullets. She had already mastered that type of weaponry when she was partnered with Eridan. She hadn't kept up on them.]

So long as you use the same type of weapons, I don't mind. I do have dibs to potentially humiliate you on the network, as real incentive.

[tuned_wrong]

Agreed, and only if I can do the same to you, should you lose. Let's make it fair and square.

[ghostofaqueen]

I wouldn't have it any other way. Of course, that gives an expectation that I might lose.

[She flashed a smirk.]

[tuned_wrong]

[He smirks back.]

Right back at you.
