"... What do you want to hear?" Raven asked quietly.

"What's going on?" Wolfe repeated.

Raven shook his head a little, still a little too stunned to think of anything to say.

Wolfe contined to stare at him, "Do guns affect you that much?" he suddenly asked, "Because I do not understand why you think I'm not capable of protecting you!"

"Wha-?" Raven asked, wondering where that came from. "No. No, I don't think that at all!"

"Then why are you forcing youselft to learn to fire a gun?" he demanded.

Raven took a moment to think through his response. "I... don't want you to worry about me when you're not around," he answered quietly.

Wolfe frowned, "But I'm worrying about you now."

Raven didn't say anything for awhile, but then he shook his head. "... I don't have a problem with learning," he reassured Wolfe quietly.

"Then why are you acting so weird?" Wolfe asked in a quietly voice.

Raven swallowed a little as he struggled to find the words. "I... It's just... taking me awhile to get used to," he decided.

Wolfe was silent for a long moment then he slowly nodded and turned. He resumed the lead.

Raven paused a moment, almost saying something more. But he stopped and started following him again. After about fifteen minutes, when there was a decent opportunity, he tried to grab Wolfe's hand.

Wolfe let him but seemed a little tense.

Raven didn't say anything as he kept walking.

Wolfe finally sighed and gave in, relaxing a little.
