Back before she'd become a vampire, Ruth never could have seen herself as a gun person. Hell, after becoming a vampire there had been even less reason to get into guns or gun safety. But, it was the sort of skill you needed to learn to be a cop. Getting on the force was a pragmatic choice given to Ruth by her sire, Valeria. Ruth hadn't disliked it, so it was done.

Here, it seemed like more fun, even if fun wasn't the word Ruth would have used to describe her job. Especially not to her higher-ups.

She'd gotten very good at shooting over the course of her time. She hit all the non-critical parts of the body, the way you might when taking down a perp without killing them. It was harder to put someone down without killing them than it was to just murder and be done with it.

When she was done, she took her ear protection off and stared at her handy work. Yeah, that would do. She mostly came here to stay sharp.

With a slight spring in his step and not much to do with himself, Eurys could be found wandering along the streets of Manta Carlos whistling quietly. It was late enough in the day that he'd completed all his duties related to school and family, and now found his body carrying him down the roads without an especial aim in mind. In truth, he was starting to get rather bored. Boredom was something that never ended well for Eurys - it usually led to reckless and impulsive behavior.

After a while of this pointless wandering, an idea came to mind. Judging by where he was, he was extremely close to the shooting range. Even though he had minimal training in weaponry such as guns (he was much more attuned to the sword and bow), there was a small possibility that he'd encounter someone else there. Someone who would be shooting. The prospect of any kind of action was one tjay enticed him, and he figured he had time before his younger sister Marilee would begin to question his whereabouts. As such, his path became more sure and he made his way towards the range.

To his pleasant surprise, he did in fact hear the sounds of a gun being shot as he approached. Excellent! Upon approaching, he spotted what appeared to be a woman practicing her shots on a dummy. He observed her a while from a distance, rather impressed with what he saw, before deciding to approach and strike up a conversation.

"You seem like quite the shooter, my lady. Can I ask how long you've been at it?"
