[He's getting good at this, the phone is held steady against a table and Vasquez is centred in the frame of a new location, where a sign behind him reads SON OF A GUN. To say that Vasquez looks happy is underselling it, mainly because he's finally in his element.]

Hola, everyone. For a limited time only, we're going to run a special here at the gun range. You come down and have a class with the new instructor, me, and maybe I'll show you a few tricks.

[One of them he shows off with proud ease, spinning both guns in perfect synchronicity even as he keeps his gaze fixated on the camera.]

Just come down, ask for Vasquez. I'll even see if they'll let you have ten percent off, maybe, but only if you tip very nicely.

I hope I get more than ten percent off.

[ She's (mostly) kidding. ]

[quinientos]

What if I gave you the first session free, but then you give me a very good recommendation to paying friends?

[angelpants]

What if I give you the first session free?

[ Now, she's really teasing him. ]

[quinientos]

Now, I think, maybe we are talking about things that will get me in trouble.

You wouldn't do that, of course, would you?

video.

[dedikated]

This what you ended up doing?

( Get it, V. She's impressed. )

[glaza]

Not bad. Who taught you?

If you don't mind me asking.

[quinientos]

It's good, yes? They even let me shoot my guns without clucking their tongues at me, and some people even look impressed.

[Of course, he has to go through belittling safety courses, things he's known for ages, but if he has to prove this to teach, then he will.]

[angelpants]

I would never!

I'm just teasing cuz I'm already a pretty good shot.

[quinientos]

Taught myself. There's plenty of time to learn where I come from.

Not to mention, if you don't learn, you put yourself in danger.

[quinientos]

Maybe you should come and prove it to me.

Or maybe we have a competition?

[angelpants]

Only if you want to lose.

[ She's mostly joking, but hey she might be a better shot than he is. ]

[dedikated]

Better than my job.

( She didn't try to find a teaching job. She's regretting that right now. Fucking about with throwing knives sounds more fun than selling dildos. )

[quinientos]

I don't know, how many men have you shot in the last six months? I might have you beat on this.

[quinientos]

What are you doing now?

[He only knows it's not the firing range, since he hasn't seen her there, but truthfully, he maybe also hasn't been paying attention much, which is bad of him.]

[angelpants]

Hey now, I didn't think we were talking about men.

Just who is the better shot.

[quinientos]

What's the point of shooting if you're not being so accurate that you can stop a man in his heart?

What are you shooting at?

[angelpants]

You know...cans and stuff. I'd shoot a man if I had to.

[ Or you know, revenants. But he doesn't need to know about that. ]

[quinientos]

It sounds like you can come down and shoot at a man-sized target, then. It can't hurt anyone, maybe except for the papers?

[angelpants]

I mean, if you insist.

[quinientos]

Come on, then. First session free, so long as you and I, we have a competition to see how the skills are.

[angelpants]

And when you get beat by a girl?

[quinientos]

If you beat me fair and square, then I get beat by a girl. Maybe I'll promise to show you how to spin a pistol and impress some boys.

[angelpants]

I already do that with my hair for days. Girls too.

[quinientos]

I have to imagine me teaching you to spin guns is different than hair, but maybe we'll see.

Girls too? Because you want to? Or necessity?

[He knows about the second one. Not girls, though.]

[angelpants]

I meant that was how I impress them, not that I spin it.

And yeah, some people like guys and girls.

[ And Waverly is one of those people. She hopes he won't be upset about it. ]
