[Dan’s beaming like a lighthouse at the two of them, watching both very closely for all the little tells and details of their body language, extrapolating what he sees both in terms of ways to coach their shooting and in what idea he had of them as people. Truthfully, demonstrating things he can do for others and then giving his opinion is the closest he usually gets to revealing anything about himself; in a way, the sparring match and now this is the most of “Dan’s” life he’s let anyone see on the rig.]

Not bad, not bad at all, either of you. Real good, actually. [Guts especially is learning and self-correcting quickly - although shooting for the heart always makes Dan squeamish - and Saturday seems well aware what her stumbling block is. Dan names it anyway, just to assure her he’s paid attention.] This is just practice, Saturday. You want to get it perfect in practice so that when you do use it in a fight it’s as natural as blinking. Think about shooting on the inhale. Bring all your attention inward. It’s counterintuitive, but when you focus on your body you focus on your steadiness in a way you can’t if you’re focused on the target.

[He nods at Guts.] Very loud. I got [he gestures a hand around his right ear] some hard of hearing from using them in fights too much. I’ll see about asking the brass to make sure we always got silencers whenever we use these in the field. I heard they didn’t equip them last time.

[He doesn’t reload his weapon, instead standing back up watch the two of them.]
