Comments

[shiromadoushi]

Thank you... [[bows slightly.]] Any help you can provide with this... I'd be really grateful.

[pishirogane]

... Let me see the gun you're working with right now.

Disclaimer: I know so very little about guns. Sair just said it'd be a light one Bakura could use.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Nods, picking it up and very very carefully holding it so that it faced the ground when he held it out.

It's a small, rather light-weight gun. Vash had given it too him with Bakura's own lightweight-frame and damaged left harm in mind.]]

I'm not an expert myself, but I get what you're saying

[pishirogane]

[Naoto accepts the gun and examines it. Yes, seems like the right kind for someone of Bakura's build. Small kickback of course, but just enough to perhaps startle someone if they're not prepared. She opens the chamber, checking the ammunition.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura had very carefully loaded it, and only shot half the rounds so far before taking the break. Even the light kickback was able to be felt after a while and he had been at it a fair bit of time before this round.]]

[pishirogane]

[Once she completes her inspection, she closes the chamber again and hands the gun back, nodding]

[shiromadoushi]

[[...well, he guesses that means there's nothing wrong with the gun itself...?

He accepts it back, feeling a bit unsure.]] Vash showed me the basics of taking care of it before--- before he left. [[It was still a bit hard to admit that he was gone, but he was getting better]]

[pishirogane]

[That's exactly what it means. She nods] I see... Prepare to shoot again.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Nods, taking a deep breath to steady himself. He carefully adjusts his stance to match how Vash had told him how to stand, taking his time aiming before pulling the trigger, wincing just a little as the shot goes off.

While he hit the target, it's not anywhere near the bullseye. But at least it's hitting the target, right? That was something....]]

[pishirogane]

[She watches, walking around behind him as she observes, stopping when he pulls the trigger. Yes, hitting the target, but... she steps closer]

Since the target is stationary, you should support your gun with both hands. It will lessen the recoil on your arm. Also, you're not using the sight properly when aiming.

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa... [[almost grimaces at that suggestion, but nods. Deep breath before he very carefully brings his left hand over to support his right. There's a nasty scar on the back of his left hand and the fingers don't curl quiet as well as they should. Just focus, you can do this, Bakura Ryou!]]

Like this...?

[pishirogane]

[Again, she paces around. Naoto's eyes do not miss the scar]

... How long have you had that?

[shiromadoushi]

About a half a year... [[He always feels so uncomfortable when someone notices that... but he supposes in a situation like this, there's no helping it.]]

[pishirogane]

And your hand still has difficulty functioning?

[Hm...]

[shiromadoushi]

It's not too bad! Mostly just a little stiff most days! [[Other days it was worse, but details, details. He knew he was lucky he had use of that hand at all, with how it had been impaled like that. Not that that meant he had properly followed up in taking care of it after, but he had Megumi pestering him about that now, so it was all taken care of, right?]]

[pishirogane]

... Perhaps you should consider some form of regimen to gain better mobility.

[shiromadoushi]

...What sort of regimen...?

[pishirogane]

Small hand exercises. I suggest compiling research or speaking to a physician who specializes in therapeutic methods.

[shiromadoushi]

[[he nods]] I'll ask Takani-sensei what other advice she can offer then. [[since she was already helping him a little with it.]]

[pishirogane]

[She doesn't know who Takani is, but if Bakura says they can help... she nods, having to take his word for it.]

Very well.

[shiromadoushi]

[[She *is* a doctor... so of course that's enough, right?

That minefield successfully navigated, he goes back to trying to figure how to brace with his left arm without it being more of a hindrance than a help. He thiiinks he has it...

He's going to glance over for confirmation before attempting another shot, however.]]

[pishirogane]

[Naoto examines, stepping closer to see his grip. She gives a small adjustment before stepping back and nodding.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[A deep breath before he fires.

He winces worse this time, the support from his left arm doing the opposite of what it was supposed to do, the small amount of shock making his hand hurt rather sharply.]]

[pishirogane]

[She frowns]

That's extensive nerve damage. If you're unable to lessen the pain and restore some more functions, you'll have to strengthen your right arm and hand to compensate.

[shiromadoushi]

[[nods, shoulders slumping slightly]] I'll do my best...
