She scratches the back of her head sheepishly and grins, blushing a bit. "Eheheh... Oops? Um. Plural system, five girls crammed into one?"

"Okay?" There's a bit of skepticism in her voice. "I'm happy to call you Ruby instead if that's what you like. Does this mean I need to run you through the whole deal with loading and unloading and cleaning again?"

That tone of voice isn't fun, honestly.

Important question, though!

"No, ma'am!"

"Alright then, let's get you shooting. Even pistols have some recoil to them so make sure you have a stance that has some stability. The exact foot positions aren't important but if you're trying to shoot while off balance you could fall and that's usually very bad in a real fight. As for holding the pistol the best grip is like this." She demonstrates. "Before you load your weapon just show me that you won't break your wrist or end up smacking yourself in the face with a hot muzzle."

Shooting time! She can't help but grin as she nods, carefully taking a shoulder-width stance, mimicking Francine's grip precisely, pistol pointed into the ground at an angle out toward the field.

"Good, you're already thinking about overpenetration. There is some chance of ricochet especially with low velocity weapons like pistols but it's a good instinct, better than aiming up if you can help it anyway. Regardless I think you have it." She gets some ear plugs out of a pocket and sticks them in. "Your blessings protect you from hearing damage but I'm not so lucky. Anyway, show me you can load your weapon and then I'll let you actually shoot."

She turns to Emily, "You're already certified but since you're joining us here show me that you haven't picked up any bad habits since then."

"I absolutely have, but I remember the right way." She takes a stance and smoothly loads her pistol keeping her finger off the trigger.

She carefully loads the weapon exactly like Hailey practiced earlier, but does not chamber a round yet, weapon still pointed low and away, finger still resting against the guard.
