[ xie lian follows her gaze to the gun, and then back. ]
Someone has been teaching me as well, though I confess, I do not like it very much. But things like better aim should come with practice, and with time. [ because, like anything else, shooting too will take hard work.
he softens, a little. ]
...Though, after today, if your hands were shaky, I do not think anyone would blame you.
[ there's a small, tired smile on her face as she turns back to xie lian. ]
To be honest, I don't really like them, either. But if this is the only way to defend myself if something else happens, I want to be prepared, and I don't want to let Bucky-san down.
[ xie lian returns the same look, gentle and quietly mournful. ]
...I think he would be glad to hear so. [ how lucky, to have someone like ochako as a student - xie lian has been privy to it, too. from where he stands, he moves to close some of the distance between them, in case she needs it. ]
The loss of an innocent person is always so unbelievably cruel, but particularly so when it is someone you have become close to. [ xie lian dips his head, solemn. ]
I told him I'd come by every day to make sure I got enough practice to use them right, so...
[ here she is. haha. and as xie lian steps closer, he might notice something out of place, set to lean against the counter on her other side. ]
I get why they chose him. But there was still so much evidence against it being him, and they still... [ they panicked, maybe, or chose the most logical answer even though it still didn't fit. ochako can't be angry with everyone for doing what they could, but it hurts. ] It always feels like we're missing too many pieces.
