“So,” Alucard said as they took a break, “How is my trainee PI doing? Any good cases lately? I hope Athos is still keeping up your target practice” he added, because he knew his friend was training her in weaponry.
“I’m doing fine, I’m just observing the cases really, nothing to in depth yet,” Irisa told him. “And yes, my target practice is ongoing, but improving,” she told him proudly, pleased with her own progress.
“Glad to hear it” Alucard said with a nod, of course he got updates from Athos but Irisa seemed to be touchy about him keeping tabs on her so he’d decided to keep quiet about that and ask her too. “You’ll have to show me sometime” he added.
“Does that mean you’ll let me fire your beloved Casull or Jackal anytime soon?” Irisa teased with a grin as she nudged him gently with her arm.
“Sure, if you can pick them up you can try them out” Alucard said with a smile, knowing they were far too heavy and powerful for anybody other than him to handle.
Irisa stopped unscrewing her water bottle and looked up at him in amazement. “Seriously?”
“Seriously” with a sweep of his hand his weapons appeared on the table in the gym, “Feel free” he gestured to them.
Irisa gaped at the weapons as they appeared on the table in front of her. Narrowing her eyes at Alucard, she looked at him suspiciously, wondering what the catch was. Reaching out slowly, she flicked her eyes between Alucard and the gun before slowly wrapping her fingers around the grip. Sliding it across the table, she felt the weight of it and braced herself as it reached the edge. She hadn’t braced enough it seemed and as soon as it tipped off the edge, the weapon plummeted to the floor with Irisa’s fingers still wrapped around it. “Shit!”
Alucard couldn’t help laughing as Irisa immediately dropped the weapon, “They were made specifically for me” he explained, “And my vampire strength, it would be impossible for you to lift alone little one” he added wrapping his fingers around hers to lift the weapon for her.
“How is that fair?!” Irisa cried. “You knew I wouldn’t be able to lift it and let me anyway! I could have broken my wrist!” she pouted as she let Alucard help her raise the gun up from the floor.
“Life isn’t fair, you should know that by now. And you didn’t break your wrist so it’s a moot point” Alucard replied calmly, laying the gun back on the table.
“You’re a mean man,” Irisa grumbled, rubbing her wrist as she did. “I should probably talk to Athos about getting my own guns or something once I have my license,” she mused.
“You sound surprised. You really shouldn't be by now” he told her smirking, “Let me take care of that. When Athos says you're ready I'll have something made”
Gaping up at him in surprise she was speechless for a second. “I can’t...I can’t ask you to do that,” she shook her head. Gifts made Irisa uncomfortable, especially ones where she had no way of paying it back because the value was too high. “It’s too much,” she said quietly.
“You aren’t asking for anything, I’m offering, more than that I am insisting. You’ve been a good student and as such you deserve a good weapon” he said as offhandedly as possible because it wouldn’t do to let her know quite how proud of her he was. Not yet anyway. “No such thing as too much, gifts aren’t given to expect something in return. Gifts are gifts, you smile and say thank you and that’s the end of it”
“Well there’s your deal breaker there...I don’t smile,” Irisa joked, glancing up at him as she did, the beginnings of a smile creeping onto her face.
Alucard chuckled at that, “I think that is a lie missy, you smile when you manage to land a hit” he replied with an eyebrow raise.
“I’d throw a damn parade if I could when I score a hit!” Irisa laughed, acknowledging how rarely it happened. “And rightly so I reckon,” she nodded proudly.
“Rightly so” he allowed with his trademark grin.
