@charmlacked . "My offer to train Cora still stands . She is a brilliant little girl and it is never too early . "
he draws in a long breath through parted teeth , mulling over it all before he speaks . ❝ … i guess in this galaxy , every little girl should know how to fight , right ? ❞ and he’s seen the way andreja fights . he’s seen the way she holds her own before , as he is no stranger to a mission or two out with her , courtesy of constellation’s asks , and he knows that she knows her way with her guns . laser rifles and pistols aren’t exactly the type of weapon sam’s had in mind for cora , though … but he supposed any weapon is better than no weapon at all . and none of the rest of the lodge has offered to teach cora anything of the sort , and if they did ? well , sarah seems a little uptight to be teaching a child that sort of thing , and vladimir seems too unrefined . kind , but lacking in tact . barrett would probably just teach her ten thousand ways on how to annoy her dad right along with any lessons he’d teach . walter doesn’t even know how to fight . vasco … vasco’s a robot . case in point .
andreja , warrior though she is , is an inquisitive and willing soul . if he had to pick someone to leave cora with that wasn’t just himself , it would probably be her .
❝ actually , i wasn’t planning on teachin’ her how to use a gun until she was 13 . ❞ her birthday’s in a few months , though . close enough . ❝ i might take you up on that offer , though . she’s … been impatient to learn . for , like , the past three years now . do you think that means she’s ready ? i mean … as her dad , i … ❞ he rolls a shoulder in show of a shrug . a bit of a nervous , worried one . ❝ i want her to be safe . i don’t want her gettin’ into any real fights . but if she doesn’t learn , then … i dunno . you won’t use real guns for a while , right ? ❞
