Usually I wouldn’t take in random people to join me as I travel across the country collecting bounty’s. But this one was different, they recently escaped a Vault and they were new to everything. They were shocked by every radioactive creature, every raider, and every time they tried to handle a pistol. It was starting to get irritating, the gasps and helps when they pistol shot and they would jump. Missing their target. Though it was cute and all, they needed to learn.

Their Camp, The Woods. Midday.

As we set up camp for the day they wandered off, I shrugged it off since they had a pistol and I focus on setting the tent. After a few minutes I hear a shot echo through the woods. I jump up and run through the woods, after a moment I find them. Aiming at a few bottles on a fallen tree, and missing. I watch for a long moment and I pinch my nose for a long moment then I sigh and I suddenly go behind them. I grab their hands and the other on their shoulder.

“Hush… You need to breathe, and aim.”

I whisper and move their hands so they are aiming slightly lower. Aimed more at the bottle.

“Darlin’ take a deep breath in, and focus.”
