Okay, mine are elsewhere but it's basically the same progress. You grab onto them here, lift them out like this, point and then you move them back into the holsters.* Ali did it slowly, right now he only had one pair of pistols on him and they were in each their own shoulder holster. Still it was basically the same function no matter where you had it, to use the firearms you had to draw them from their holsters first.*

She watched closely, observing carefully before doing what he did. When she did, she nodded, looking to him with a serious expression nodding her head. Carefully, she tried to do both at once, her lips pressing together with concentration. Taking the guns, she tilted her entire body, trying to not drop the one in her left hand, having misjudged how it would behave, but was able to point them both forward. Trying to get them back in the holsters .. was another story all together, nearly dropping both, awkwardly fiddling with them one at a time to get them to sit properly again. She sighed softly in frustration, looking up to him with an apologetic expression.

Don't worry, this is one of the important parts. Keep on doing it until you can draw, point and holster faster and faster.* Ali smiled at her as he watched her copy his movements, nodding in approval.* If you find the body position you're in to be difficult to draw the pistols then you are allowed to get your own style. The best thing for a gunslinger is to be comfortable when he moves the pistols, they are to be and extension of your body and thus it needs to feel natural.

She nodded and continued fiddling with things, adjusting the belt, trying the guns one at a time so she could better understand the feeling and movement needed for each hand instead of trying it all at once. In a matter of minutes, she had everything set up for optimal use, though things were far from perfect. Speed, mostly, was her greatest enemy. Foot positioning was good, belt was good, hands were good, timing was good .. it would take hours or days to get the speed to be more what Ali was capable of. "I know not what to watch .. knowing I would not be watching my hands, I am inclined to look anywhere else. I cannot move as fast as you do .. at least, not on this day .." she said softly, again showing him an apologetic glance, bobbing her head.

* Ali bit his lower lips for a brief moment before he walked to stand a small distance away from her, crossing his arms.* Look at me, I'm your target now and the person you are not to divert your eyes from. Draw the pistols aim them at me and holster again. Your eyes are to be locked onto me.

Focusing on him, she bobbed her head, trying to focus on getting them from their resting spot to level to shoot him in the chest if she had bullets. This added focus helped a lot, helping her to increase her speed by double in just a few minutes from before by having him there as a 'dummy' of sorts. She laughed at this. "Focus helps so much .."

Good Now you can try to twirl both pistols around your finger once before you point them at me.* Ali smiled at her and crossed his arms infront of his chest, waiting to see how she would do with that.*

She looked at him with confused expression, watching her own hand once as she tried to do it with a twirl. "Like this?" she asked softly, tilting her head, making sure the twirl was correct.

* Ali smiled as he drew his own pistols and began to twirl them around his fingers, even doing it when they were horizontally and in a very fast motion. Twirling a pistol was usually just for show, a master gunslinger used it to hit oppoents with or even incoming bullets. Eventually Ali tossed both pistols in the air and took a step forward, catching them both as they fell into his hands that were by now behind his back. Ali holstering them again and all the while, through the entire thing, he had only looked at Ziven.* That was a demontration of how the best gunslingers do it, it doesn't take days, weeks or months to perfect but years. No matter how good you are. A simple twirl though can be learned in hours.

Her mouth fell a bit slack as she watched him do all the different movements, tilting her head wandering closer to him wanting to watch more. "That was .. incredible! I do not understand .. all use of centripetal force?"

It's all in the wrists.* Ali smiled a little at her reaction, he'd show her more later on but for now she had gotten a lesson and needed to follow up on that.* Practise what you've learned and don't neglect your Elbow blades training either.

"As you wish." she said with a smile, bobbing her head. Wandering off, she continued to practice on the way home.

The cloaked figure stalked the Omega lands, dragging his sword behind him. His steps were unsteady and compulsory. He was a thing who had no destinations, no words, no anything...

Wandering outside, hand in hand with Azuris, she was still blushing and considering where she should lead him to show him the Syndicate. But first .. "I wish not to be rude though I must admit both Ali and Seisuke-ona have been teaching me what is appropriate touching or not. I am not sure of the holding hands but I think only Hunter should hold my hand while walking." she said softly, looking to him with apologetic eyes though clearly still hoping to help him understand that she was unsure and meant no disrespect.
