It was hard not to be a bit self removed from the social circles when the last time he had tried to really interact with another...well Vasily had tried to quite literally kill him with two rounds to Bryan's skull. Oh things were relatively worked out between them, but that man's first impulse when he recognized Murphy was to kill without hesitation. As far as Void knew he wasn't the one to bring Nicky in, so there was a chance that she wouldn't try the same...though she had just thrown a knife his way only a moment or two ago.
The lack of a shirt was for purely practical reasons; mostly he had so few undamaged tee shirts, so the last thing he really wanted was to get holes it in from the taser gun. Well that and the damn thing always left that confetti all over him. That stuff was a bitch to get cleaned off of the fabric. When she seemed bewildered he just chuckled softly before nodding his head. "Yeah. I need to test it out before taking it in the field. So aside from firing to get a feel for the range; I also always test how the weapons I take with me in the field, to familiarize myself with their affect just in case it gets turned on me in the middle of combat."
Better to get a handle on that here in a safe and controlled environment...instead of out there when his partner or others may be depending on him. "So what do you say? Take a shot?"
