You said "you guys". It was rather like being back home. Don't worry about it, though, please. You're going to have to learn if you want to stay alive here.
I can't handle a weapon. Actually, I got mine taken away. Not my finest hour.
It's not that I can't use one, though obviously practice would help. I can't use one in combat. There are differences, as I'm sure you appreciate. Besides, I still need to get it back.
[Which is to say, Simon panicked on the ice, and is lucky he didn't kill half his group.]
Are you telling me you can use one of those guns? I'm impressed. [Such underestimation, Simon. Wow.]
Yes I can! I mean, I can use a pistol and the smaller gun isn't so different. I think. I still need to practice a lot with it though. Do you want to practice with me?
Are you offering to teach me? I can darn already. [Born 1986. His family are the absolute worst.] Realistically, you're right that there are other things I should be learning.
More immediately useful things involving guns, yes. [And their retrieval.]

[Wow Winnie that almost sounded smart.]
Taken away? You should really learn how to fire it at least. Do you want help?

I'm not sure I have enough cartridges. If I could get more for the asking, presumably they wouldn't have given us so few to begin with.

I should ask nicely. [But that guy was scary.]

I think it's a good idea. You can do it! Confronting who took your gun, I mean.
