Shooting. Ned had initially found the idea a little repulsive. He hadn't handled a gun in over twenty-five years and despite his time in service, he was not a violent man. The army was his father's idea of a shortcut to getting a title to ensure that all the Starks were either Lords, Sirs, Dames or Ladies - one which Ned had little say in - and before long he was shipped off to a base preparing for a nuclear war that would never happen.
But it was something that was neither work- nor family-related, and he could use a bit of that from time to time to set his head straight. He had also considered Arya's incessant requests for shooting lessons, and he'd been meaning to indulge her but never had the time to look up a range and find her an instructor. If this place was decent, he wouldn't have to do any searching and just book a future session here.
Unlike the first time they met, Ned had dressed more casually. No suit and no tie - just a dark pair of jeans, a shirt and a jacket. A far cry from Lord Eddard Stark, no doubt, but Ned would take and make full use of any opportunity to dress down and be a little more himself.
"Doctor Linus," he greeted with a smile.
"It has been... almost a month! How are you mate?"
