EP: Kate Barlow | Outside, Stables / Main Bar

[ikissdhimbck]

It's been a long time since Beaut's had the pleasure of startling the bar with her presence. The front door admits the five-foot cowgirl and her mount, obviously on their way someplace else, depositing them smack dab in the middle of the bar.

Beaut snorts.

"Oh, come now. S'good t'be back, ain't it?"

Kate wins an ear twitch for her trouble. With a chuckle, she sets about navigating the tables and chairs — and waitrats, we mustn't forget them. She'll get Beaut resettled out in the stables and check on the stock, and once she's done there she'll find a calendar. Once she knows the date and has stopped to look for messages in the stables, at the board, or with the Bar, she'll settle in for a while.

Then again, it's such a beautiful evening out. Maybe she'll take advantage of the lingering light and give Beaut a proper ride up the mountain path.


[ooc: I'm so sorry for inundating the bar! I did try to space everything out. ~sheepish~ Post open indefinitely; catch Kate anywhere you like, she'll be making her rounds and she's in a great humor.]

"Near abouts."

She smiles sympathetically, and pulls out her Colt again.

"You'll wanna keep your feet apart like this, t'give you a li'l more sturdiness. Arm out, keep it straight, look straight down the barrel of your gun t'sight your target. Now, with any other gun, you'd cock it with this hammer here, but like I showed you on yours, y'jus' squeeze that grip, an' pull the trigger."

Cocking her weapon, she gives him one last look at how it's done. The air cracks, and the bullet hits the ring just outside center on the target.

The nice thing about the Lemon Squeezer is it's nice and small, and a good way of practicing shooting one-handed. Should he need that extra support, though, he can always use both hands. The kickback will surprise you, but it shouldn't knock him off his feet by any means.

He follows her instruction and then-

BANG!

Lohengrin brings his hand back to look at the gun, the kickback harder than the paintball pistols. He spies where his shot landed, just to the right of Kate's shot.

"Look'it that! You're a natural."

She beams at him.

"Makes a devilish burn in your palm, don't it? First time I shot that gun I nearly dropped it from dumb fingers alone."
