Grant smiled gently, and stepped closer. He reached out helping her hold it properly, "the key is to look down the sights, line up the front sight with the back, and have both over what you want to hit," he explained. He helped her aim the gun towards a tree, "and you squeeze the trigger don't pull it," he added.

Aeri felt his body press into her, trying to ignore her want to turn and touch him. Instead she focus on the gun in her hands. Looking over both the sights before gripping the gun, and squeezing the trigger. The kick from the gun wasn't what shocked her, instead it was the loud sound that cause a light ringing in her ear. "Holy fuck." She giggled lightly. The heal of her hand lightly tingling from the kick. She'd been so focused on her body that she'd not paid attention to if she hit the tree or not.

Grant chuckled kled softly, "that is the quiet one, too" he teased. He stepped back, "you almost hit the tree, try again," he said encouragingly.

Aeri frowned, hearing his words. "Left or right?" She asked him, wanting to know which way the bullet went. Lifting the gun she lined it up like her told her. Waiting until he gave her the direction moving a bit that way. So that she could hopefully hit the tree this time.

Grant smiled and talked her through her adjustment, "you'll been shooting like a pro in no time," he said softly. He stepped back to watch her

Aeri did her best to move the gun slightly, before she squeezed the trigger. Her eyes widening as she nicked the side of the tree, sending bark flying off. "Wow, how many bullets are in here?" She asked him, before trying to focus on her aim again.

Grant smiled and clapped, "nice shot," he said gently. He looked at her, "a full clip, so thirteen, for that model," he said.

Aeri furrowed her brow, "but I missed, how was that nice?" She questioned him, doing her best to figure this out. Before she squeezed the trigger again this time embedding the bullet in the tree. A squeal coming out of her mouth, though it was still not where she was aiming, she still managed to hit the tree.

Grant smiled gently, "it's nice because you are getting better, closer" he said. He helped her sight up again, giving her slight pointers, but he was proud of how good she was picking this up. He stepped behind her, listening closely to the forest. "We may have company, hold on for a second," he warned softly.

Aeri felt every hair on her body stand up, blood rushing to her ears. She tried to calm herself down so she could hear what had put him on edge. But she was struggling, and the gun in her hand wasn't helping her any she felt like she could hurt someone accidentally, or even kill them. Though she was curious as to who it could be.

Grant moved closer to her, "lets just keep moving this way slowly," he said gently. He started leading her further up the mountain track. He was curious who would be up this high in the mountians.

Aeri could feel the tension from his body, he didn't like that someone was up on the mountain. And it made her nerves spike, lowering the gun she followed after him. Doing her best to keep quite and close. She didn't want to get separated.

Grant led her upwards towards one of his hides, and then paused, "duck in there, and stay out of sight," he said lightly. He then followed suit as he pulled the long gun off his shoulder.

Aeri moved into the hidey hole, feeling her nerves heighten as she was cut off from all of the out side world. She could feel herself start to shake as she didn't know what to do with herself. He'd protected her before and she knew she could trust him. But she was afraid that he'd get hurt agian and this time they wouldn't be able to fix it.

Grant relaxed lightly as he settled into a shooting position. He looked over at her momentarily, "lesson two, always control your breathing, and never panic," he said softly. He smiled gently, "if you panic you will loose control, if you remain calm you can keep it," he said softly. He looked down the sight, watching the movement along the mountain.

Aeri listened to his words, "that's easier said than done." She whispered out, closing her eyes and trying to compose herself. She didn't even know what was going on. If this was a threat or just someone who wandered into the forest. So she knew it was important to get herself under control.

Grant nodded, "I know, but with practice it comes naturally," he said. He visibly relaxed somewhat, as he noticed it was just a pair of hunters. "Relax its just a couple hunters," he said softly.

"Do they usually come up this far?" She asked him, wondering if the sound of shots hadn't drawn them nearer. She didn't know anyone that would knowingly head towards the sound of gun fire out in the wild.

Grant shook his head, "they don't normally, but the gun fire might have caught their attention," he said lightly. "They do echo through the hills pretty far," he said

Aeri furrowed her brows, "what kind of idiot heads towards gun fire?" She questioned him, "isn't that dangerous especially out here." She shook her head. Feeling her heart rate returning to normal, now that the possibility of danger had passed.
