[comradery]

[Hughes makes a mental note of the pronunciation.]

Yeah? And you deal with guns, too, huh? Did you do this kind of stuff back in your own world?

[pishirogane]

Yes, I did. It would be unwise taking this position with little to no experience. While these guns are considerably non-lethal in comparison to their actual counterparts, mishandling could still result in serious injury.

[comradery]

[Hughes chuckles.] Likely wouldn't stop Black☆Star from trying, though. But I agree. It's not something I would really want to have around children, if at all possible. [Not unless it was completely disarmed.]

Did you work as a detective, then? Or as an understudy rather. [Hughes was only assuming based on the age he perceived from Naoto's appearance.]

[pishirogane]

Black☆Star-san must stop getting himself into trouble. [Seriously, he's been annoying her several times over. Kishin Chamber, Soul Perception, she can still hear him yelling every time when new arrivals come.]

Both. I take cases, but still consider myself an understudy. There's always more to learn.

[comradery]

Hehe. I tried advising him before, but he doesn't seem to ever learn.

Hm. That's a good way to look at it. No one is ever truly finished learning, after all. Though, well, I suppose that would make us all understudies, hehe. Whom did you learn to shoot from? If it's alright to ask.

[pishirogane]

I suppose some people are just that way.

[There was a misfire on the field. Hmph...] My grampa.

[comradery]

[Hughes catches the irritation and chuckles faintly. This kid is very strict.]

I guess you learned when you were little, then?

[pishirogane]

Yes I did. He thought it would be in my best interests.

[comradery]

Hm. You weren't ever afraid of holding a gun?

[pishirogane]

No I wasn't.

[comradery]

Ah, so you were a natural then, I take? Well, that would certainly explain why you're instructing here. [Hughes chuckles.] Assuming you age the same way as people from my world, I'd never picked up a gun until I was around the age you are now.

[pishirogane]

No, it's a family custom when one begins their training.

[comradery]

...so you had problems when you started?

[pishirogane]

Any child would have initial difficulty using a gun. If not aiming, then pulling the trigger.

[comradery]

And recoil, too. Mm. Yeah, you're right. I suppose I was assuming you may have started with something simpler like a spud gun or pellet gun first.

Do you enjoy doing what you do? Solving cases and shooting guns and such. [He has to wonder since it seems the lifestyle was forced on Naoto.]

[pishirogane]

I rarely use my gun, but I do enjoy solving cases. The gun is to serve as self-defense and injury dealt is meant to be non-lethal.

[comradery]

Ah. A well meaning detective! I like that! Unfortunately, in my own case, though I would have preferred that to be the situation, if I had encountered anyone I would have had to draw my weapon on back home, I would likely have had no choice but to shoot to kill. However, it was likely due to the type of cases I worked, so I guess choosing not to switch divisions was my own fault. [Though if he had, he would not have been able to help Roy.]

[pishirogane]

[Hm, cases where they had no choice, but to kill should the situation come to it. Not a simple police detective. The build and when he began to handle a gun say something else.]

... Military?

[comradery]

[Hughes chuckled.] Brilliantly deduced, though the military was more or less the government in my country, so you could consider my position governmental as well.

[pishirogane]

I see... There tends to be little negotiation in such governance.

[comradery]

Hehe. Unfortunately, no. [Hughes smiles sheepishly.] It wasn't that bad, though. For the average citizen, anyway.

[pishirogane]

Then I worry about your well being and Mustang-san's for not being average citizens.

[She shakes her head] You probably came over not expecting to dwell into this subject. I will refrain from further inquiry and investigation for now lest you wish to continue; otherwise, feel free to change the subject.

[comradery]

Hehe. Well, honestly, it's already a bit too late for me. Roy on the other hand... [Hughes shrugs.] It's fine. I don't really mind, actually. If you'd prefer we switch a subject, that'd be all right, though.

[pishirogane]

[... Mental note: talking to a dead man.]

It's your decision really. I'm attempting to better my social skills still, but unfortunately, I fall back into interrogations and tend to come across as... unsympathetic.

[comradery]

[Hughes laughs shortly.]

Well, I don't know how well I could help your social skills since I'm one of the most obliging when it comes to conversation. I suppose in general, it'd be inappropriate to discuss that stuff, though. At least, a lot of people don't like touching politics because things can get heated fairly quickly.

Let's see...what's a better topic... [Hughes taps his chin lightly.] Do you have any hobbies outside of work?
