Like every other morning since her first lesson, Dove had made her way into the shooting range, trading in her identification for a cold, black handgun and ammunition, her mind centered and focused on the task at hand. However, on her walk over that morning, the gears in her mind had been turning nonstop, and she hoped that the cutting sounds of the shots could help clear it, if not for the heavy seriousness that stood behind the practice in itself.
After a few minutes of walking that morning, she had texted a friend on her way to the range, knowing he had the full intent to sharpen his skills as well. While she hoped she would be focused on her targets, she did hope he had at least figured out how to use his phone enough to answer it. Curiosity was getting the best of her, and another distraction would be welcome-- if only for the practice of shutting it off at will, if she had to.
Now, the woman stood poised in the same fitted training gear, her eyes locked on the target in the distance as she fired a few rounds, her expression almost blank as one of the three hit its mark-- the other two just far enough to annoy her.

Yuri's returned message went unnoticed, her phone silenced for the time being and set aside.
A few more rounds were fired, before she lowered the gun and stepped back to look at the man, earplugs hanging over her shoulder, opposite where her long braided hair lay. A quick flick of her eyes fell to the gun in his hand as he loaded it, until they returned to his face. "Yes... Every day, for about an hour and a half or so." Though a lot of days, she had spent much more time there, determined and still entranced by the power in such a small device. "How have you been? It's been a few days," she joked. It was amazing how much could happen in only a few hours, let alone a few days, and she knew far too well that time apart could mean something had changed.

She grinned, and turned her face back to the range, lifting the gun to fire a few more rounds. "Yes, well. There's a lot of things I wouldn't have even guessed about myself, but here I am," she sighed, shrugging a but. "And I'm not entirely sure it's the weapons that I'm into." Honestly, she was just really, really tired of feeling defenseless.
Three more rounds fired, then a small nod as she turned to watch him again, giving a pause before speaking again, though her voice and tone were more subdued this time. "I'll be okay."
