[The username reads as 'Bismarck.' The picture is of a nondescript piece of purple-painted metal. Is there a pattern here with the previous post? Huh, he didn't notice.]

Tell me a little about your world?

[The request is simple, and harmless enough. No one is obligated to answer, no one is obligated to answer with details if they do.

[It's just a little bit of recon, that's all.]

That's quite a vote of confidence given we've only been chatting for a few minutes. [But she can't say she isn't a little pleased with the compliment.]

Well, when you said you related to people shooting at you, I imagine you'd probably feel the same way I did once I realized no one was shooting at me. Or would shoot at me again.

I call them like I see them.

[And he sees someone he'd trust.]

... That hasn't quite sunk in yet.

...can't argue with that, I suppose.

[He's very trusting, isn't he? It's an odd thing to hear from someone who seems to be pragmatic, but also fairly trusting. Those two don't really go hand-in-hand as far as she's concerned.]

Maybe you'll get lucky and it won't happen. Strange things do tend to happen around here, though usually not the armed-conflict kind. So it isn't all grocery lists and walking the dog.

There's a shooting range I go to sometimes, it can help a bit if you ignore the people who are a little too excited about firearms. [They mostly leave her alone now, given she brings what they term 'antiques'.]

I'd probably benefit from a little daily practice.

[He goes directly for "daily."]

It'd keep me from going nuts, I'm sure.

Daily? You want to go daily, you should find yourself a different place. People might start to think you're their friend if they see you there enough. [She hums in amusement.]

But yes, it does offer... familiarity. If that's something you need.
