Pulling the trigger: easier every time.

I find the exact opposite actually. The trigger seems to get heavier every time I have to pull it.

I'd never fired a gun before but I've been practicing. I thought it would be harder than it is.

Ah. It's a rush when you first start. It only gets hard when you're aiming at more than just a target.

Well, I might find out sooner rather than later. I'd rather be prepared in case I have to.

Of course. You have to be prepared. You never know when you'll need to fire it. When you only get one shot, you have to make it count.

Exactly. I have no idea how I'll react when that day comes but I have to be ready. It's my duty.

Practicing?

Gotta do something to keep busy.

Wasn't sure how easily I'd take to it.

Are you alright?

Always. Just staying focused, working.

Been worried they'll try and use the 4th to lure you out.

*small smile* I wouldn't put it past them to risk people's lives in an attempt to lick their wounds. Almost makes it more tempting, just to prove their lack of remorse and caring for the public they're claiming to be protecting from me.

I'm proud of you, you know.

Okay, the point of that statement wasn't the encourage you. Do you really want to see my reaction if you end up back in prison?

For what? Talking pot shots at waves?

*smirks* I'm aware. And I didn't say I would. Just that the idea was enticing.

For being you. For everything you're doing. I haven't said it enough, I know.

I'm aware of how you respond to enticing things, Thomas.

Thank you. It means a lot to me, but you don't have to feel you need to say it. My loyalty lies with you, Thomas. I will do whatever it takes to protect and serve, which makes me laugh to say.

I try to keep in mind where I'm sending someone.
