Sometime after settling in and having their arrangements for the night sorted out Eric found himself outside of the town limits with several beer bottles lined up on a fence.  He stood a ways back, unholstering his gun and taking a steady breath before firing at the first bottle.  The bullet whizzed by missing, going low and to the left.

"I reckon that there's what they call a miss," a familiar voice muses. Complete with her new getup is a fake western accent, just for him, as Rebecca walks up to him from behind.

Who knew she could rock light blue?

"The tumbleweeds are trembling in terror." She nods towards the botths he has set up.

"Want li'l ol' me to give you a few pointers, Marshal?" She bats her eyelashes at him. Dear god, having to be quiet because she was a woman was annoying! She needed a break.

He'd snicker.

"Sure, what pearls of wisdom do you have for me Miss Kitty?"

She grins at the snicker and takes a few steps back, nodding to the bottle he had aimed for.

"Show me again. From the holster." Since she can actually see it at a visible range this time.

He'd holster the gun and take another deep breath before pulling it out and aiming at the bottle and firing. This time it went up and to the right!

She watches him pull then gun, turning her head to track the bullet's path once she sees him aim, then nods.

"Where's your focus when you're aiming? The target?"

"Yeah."

Where else would he focus?

"Alright, that's a start. She walks closer to him and gets a look at his grip before readjusting it if necessary. Then she steps back again.

"Focus on the foresight."

She does have to readjust his grip a bit!

"Alright."

He does so but waits.

She lets him get used to the new feel of his grip, chosing not tin interrupt.

Unless he takes forever.

After a few moments he'd fire. Hitting the bottom of the fence post under the bottle.

"Better." Another nod and smile. "Try again. Try to keep the trigger pulled until you feel the resistance while you're aiming. Get rid of the slack."

"Gives you more control." Boys and their guns. Of course he'd want that. She grins a little and nods at the Remington.

"You pull right through, you can see the gun wiggle a bit. Keep it pulled like that keeps it steady."

He'd nod and try it her way. Taking aim at the bottle and focusing on the foresight, keeping the trigger pulled to the point of resistance as he lined up the shot. Squeezing the trigger the bullet would fly through the bottle shattering it.

"Yes!"

He'd grin widely, feeling more bad ass already!

She lets out a small laugh to cheer him on as the bullet hits its mark!

"See? Before long you're going to take the world by storm."

"Well hopefully I can just keep it to bluffing. But I thought it would be smart to be able to hold my own if someone calls my bluff."

He'd lower the gun and turn to look at her with a sheepish smile.

"Honestly, I'd rather no one ever called my bluff."

"I know." Her smile softens. No matter what else they had gone through since arriving at Paradigm, Eric was still Eric. He was still the guy who regretted pushing the Gravedigger through a portal, or the robots who came out. The guy who believed he had summoned up cap guns instead of actual weapons on their first mission because of his instinct to resist using them.

If only it could stay that simple.

"But we both know that, sooner or later, they will. Or at least, they'll try." She nods at the bottle he had shot.

"Now we know you can work on making sure you can properly defend yourself if you ever need to."

He's sigh.

"Yeah, besides. I can't rely on my power forever. Or Magic. Eventually it's going to come down to just me."

And when that day came he'd really like to not die.

That makes two of them.

"Exactly." She nods, looks over to the bottles, and smirks as she looks back at him.

"So, Mr. Dillon, do you want to fire the rest of those bad boys off yourself, or do you think you can handle a little competition?"

Still grinning.

"You and me are going to have a little one-on-one. See who hits the more bottles."

"And what do you want when you win?"

He was being a realist.
