Galina Kerrigan-Alcori
Wildling
Galina nodded slowly and finished her meal quickly. Then she followed behind Siobhan to the outdoor range. Her eyes keenly studying everything in sight for a moment. Then her eyes drifted to the table and the weapons.
Curiously, she stepped towards them and for a moment just looked. Reaching down she lightly ran her fingers across the weapons, as her mind ran through the possibilities. Then as Siobhan offered her the slugthrower, she cautiously wrapped her fingers around it. It was familiar. A nod came, the answer simple. Yes.
Memories flooded back of Sigma and the first time a Rebel soldier handed her a weapon. The first time she had to defend her life with deadly force. A sobering thought. "Yes, it is." She finally spoke the words.
Taking a deep breath, she loaded the weapon with a skill level of someone who had clearly done so before, and frequently. Her time in the Rebel army may have been short, but it was not without fighting, not without many days with weaponry training to stay alive. That had always been the point and today it wasn't much different. Granted she didn't have to defend herself. And there was no present threat against her, however the skills would be required in this harsh galaxy.
So with that, she looked to a target. Another sigh, and she lifted the weapon to aim. Something rather interesting happened as she looked to it, fracture lines formed across her vision, almost like fault lines. For a moment she shook her head, trying to push them away.... For it was a most strange thing to see. But they came back regardless of what she tried.
Doing the only thing she could, she ignored it... Aimed again and took her first shot. The recoil, startled her a little, her eyes widen as she looked to the weapon. Then naturally she looked back to the target, to see where the shot had landed. Just a little left of center, but damn near spot on. Perhaps her archery skills, really did transfer over ... Rather easily at that.
