"The gun is fine... I simply like to get to know my weapons before I start using them - it allows me to harness them a little better." With a smile to him Eward looked to the hedgerows, his eyes darting around at the little animals bouncing around. If he allowed himself to think about it too much he doubted he would have ever shot them.
"I think we shall..." he agreed, before he raised the gun and shot the first pheasant he saw which fell mid-flight onto the grass. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Doctor Perkins flinch which only made Eward grin widely. This was going to be fun.
