She looked at him shortly from the corner of her eyes and noticed he nodded. Yea, she wasn't happy, but there was a lot of things you had to do to make Narcissa happy anyway. No one was to be trusted, this proven to be a point anyway. "Well then you must be very good at it." She said coolly. To be honest, it made her freak out inside, she had never killed someone, she had no intention of trying either no matter how much her blood was boiling. She wished she could resist that urge anyway. She was blamed for so many deaths and yet she had never considered or tried something like that. "Knives are easy but they make the job more dirty," She went to shift a little in her seat and look at him, "How can you say it so coolly, that you kill? Doesn't it do anything to you?" How were humans made like this? Emotionless shits.
"Yes I am not stupid." But she knew he did not mean that, so she tried to give him a small smile, although she meant it as an irky, mean comment. She did not say much more, well not into details anyway when they talked about it. She looked up after looking outside again and noticed where they arrived. She took her time to get out of the car and let him help her and escort her. She was leaning a little on his left arm and would look, her face definitely dark and bitchy. She wasn't happy but she would see what they would do.
"Good, I did not pay for nothing after all." She snarked as they walked towards the shooting range. She would see if he would bring up more of the previous conversation, but maybe she scared him. She would get inside and let Antonio handle the talking and so on. She would just wear the vizor and the earplugs and took her stance after he explained, obviously it wasn't correct. Not everyone could be a perfect person in one go.

Narcissa asked how come he can just confess that he kills people as if its a normal Tuesday for him. But for him it was very easy. So he told her, but she could notice the mood change. It was more dour, his voice "When you see death and bloodshed all the time. You become desensitized to it and accept it as part of your life."
As they talked, he complimented her for her intelligence. But she seems to have taken it as an offence or something. Hoo boy. But she did try to smile, so he did the same and smiled. Once they arrived she took her time to get out of the car and let him help and escort her. She leaned a bit on his left arm. She was dark and bitchy and he was a bit more lighter and chipper now and sported a small smile on his face. He switched back to his more fake persona instead of his real more serious and sad persona
He didnt really reply to the last statement, as he felt she just tried to goade him into bs.
Eventually they got in the shooting range and he got Cissy a gun "Ok, first of all. Dont be afraid of it. Its just a thing, a tool. Take it" he goes to hand it over to her "But know where your finger is all the time, and dont put it on the trigger unless you wanna hurt somebody"He then directs her towards a target. He gives her ear protection and gets himself some too. There werent many people at this hour. So it wasnt CONSTANT LOUDNESS where he'd shout. She can hear him "To aim you look at the top through that notch. Line up the sight at the end with your target." he said. Now he helped her with the aim helped her how to properly hold it and all that stuff "I know these are some lifeless drawing targets. But in a life or death situation. For your own safety. It is best to aim for the head if you want for the danger to end immediately. If not, it is best to aim at the body, shoulder or knee." he said As he instructed her slowly and gently about stuff. It was now finally time to shoot. Whenever she was ready, she can pull the trigger to fire away

She knew she was being mean. Narcissa was very aware of this emotion as she had been taught to be very aware of whatever she said and did. But then again in her honest opinion, he deserved it. Asking if she was smart, asking what she did and yet he pushed her away so hard. Like what is it that he wanted because he should clearly make up his mind. They were having this sort of affair, this sort of understanding about what they did and how they did it but it only proved that she could not do anything right. She should not have made that decision before and she would never make that decision again. Narcissa was tired, tired of being not necessary, unloved and very possibly: unwanted. It was not something you got used to in a very short amount of time. She couldn't believe that she almost already lived in Japan for six months. It only proved her point.
She sighed and just let it be. He was destructive, she was too. He had been in such times so often that he did not realize it anymore, so maybe it was that. She had been so new to it that every little grain of salt like substance that rubbed her wrong would make into something that was of big issues. She did not want to think about it, did not want to do anything with it or about it, it did not work this way. She had expected more of him. That was probably her own mistake but his bedroom talk seemed to be really fine and now he just said; so you have an intelligence edge, doh, what else would she have to do as ambassador and such, that won't work if she was stupid! The only way that Narcissa showed rapprochement was by leaning on him a little as they would walk indoors. She noticed his change, a mask returned and so did her own. She smiled and though she could not resist making another snarky comment, she would show the other people that she was a very kind and may be a slightly nervous woman. That is probably what the people wanted to see after all.
It fooled Antonio enough and she only raised her eyebrow on her neutral expression. Maybe she got it... Yes, she thought she really figured it out and she just looked at him. He must have been with so many women and not all of them were this cold-blooded villain that was Narcissa. So he probably used it on other women, the soft-spoken and kind man that would sweep every woman in that restaurant off their feet. How could she be so stupid? She brushed her hair aside and held the gun Antonio gave her. It was not of her business, so whatever. "Ah buzzkill." She murmured trying to laugh about it as he said unless you wanna hurt somebody.
She made sure the ear protection said well and that she could still hear Antonio speak to her. She did as he said and tried to hold that thing well, she wasn't sure what happened as he stood so close behind her, helping her adjust to how to hold the gun, her elbows, her front arms and she could feel his chest against her back and she wasn't sure, should she lean away? She nodded and thought about it, "Why not the heart?" Because well chests were a bigger area it surely made people stagger right if they got hit even if not immediately killing, heads could be so small. She waited for his new information before she shot for the first time.

She asked why not the heart, he answered "You can aim for the heart as well. I guess its just a matter of preference to me. Look there at the target." he told her and focused his look there "Lets go and aim for the center"
Soon he directed her how to aim, and even told her if she needed to aim a little to the left, right or up and down. Once he was 100% sure that they were aligned with the direct center. He would tell her to pull the trigger. And even when she did it. She hit the target right in the center "Good job!" he said gently, but then he directed her to try again. Without his help "Ok, now again. Whenever you're ready. Shoot. This time I wont correct your aim."He gave Narcissa her task. And he didnt rush her. Whenever she was ready she would shoot and he would stay close to her and observe her. Her movement and her actions. As much as he wanted to flirt, he kept it to a minimum as he wanted her to focus. He didnt want to ruin this for her. Instead he planned what to do later. Maybe show her how to refill ammo

She did not get so much about this man that she should let it go. She should not make her heart skip a beat as she could feel him so close in her personal bubble. She should not get flustered or anything. Narcissa did whatever she could to push that away, for a vain woman and one that had loved attention previously, she felt so small and useless now in Japan. No one cared, no one would care and no one will ever. It was as simple as that and Narcissa would have to let it go. She could have her fun, she could have his payment, she could just do that without anything extra. She shouldn't be jealous, she shouldn't be so narcissistic but well that was her issue; she was. Especially after it all came falling down like a card house, one tiny fragment of wind and done.
But here and now she was shooting and she would just aim for whatever, in this case, the target and the centre. She had more questions if they should hit for the head and all, then why now try and focus on the centre. But she would not ask, she would just do and she would let him guide her elbows her shoulders and her hands as he would make sure to do it right and though he complimented her. It did not feel like she did much herself, she pulled the trigger but he held her. Though the recoil felt weird, how her arms flexed back and she took a step back closer to Antonio and looked up. "Thanks." I guess, but she smiled a little at him and she would try to do it again, looking at her arms, elbows and all. Slightly afraid of the recoil, which was why she missed the centre with one ring. It was clear on her face that that was the issue as she had looked at the gun. She brushed her hair back over her shoulder, from her right to her left and stared at it, she should try again without saying something to Antonio.

Even when she did it alone, she managed to hit the target. The recoil though sent her back. He held her and smiled gently to her "No problem~" he said and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Bzt after that he let her focus and try again. He watched her perform. He looked at her and saw it on the face. She was afraid of recoil. Antonio then approached her and told her not to worry about Recoil. He asked for the gun and then showed her. How he held the gun and what to do with recoil. All in all, he reassured her that she will be fine, she wont be hurt and then he joked that even if she did get hurt, he would totally kiss her boo boo. He then gave her a smile and a wink.
But jokes aside, after his instructions. He let her have the gun so they can shoot more. After some more practice, he would then show her how to reload a gun, what to do to put bullets in and stuff. He would then let her do that as well and try it. Reload a gun and then shoot. Basically enough so she can get comfortable with it. After all, not all guns are loud. Silencers exist

She looked mostly surprised when he kissed her on her cheek and in the end, Narcissa did blush. She took her eyes and her posture away from Antonio as she did not want him to see it but it definitely helped her cool off a little. Narcissa watched as Antonio leans against her and passed her and would shoot again and show her, she flinched a little when the recoil happened and she would close her eyes shortly, and blink. She did not like it. She did try not to blush again and she followed his example again, but she wasn't hurt and looked at Antonio and she wasn't sure if she should make a joke about it and wait to see what he would do or if nothing would happen. Though if the latter happens, this time she would not be disappointed. It had improved her mood that she was quite a decent shooter and so on.
After that, they practised how to do the reloading, "I assume that's different with a lot of guns?" But she wasn't sure how much more to say about it, in the end she got better at it and shoot a little faster and more accurate. "I don't want to be mean or so but shooting really isn't something for me. I will also not be able to get the metal past the detection arcs in the building and so on." She looked away, they would fight about it again and she would maybe have to go. "I more fight just with hands and fists, legs and knees and sometimes a knife if I can get my hands on that." She brushed her hair away again, this was it but she still did not want it to be ruined between them. They would have to work together after all.

"Yes. But its not hard figuring out." he said. After all, not all cars were the same and yet people drove. Reloading was not rocket science and he was sure if Narcissa would use firearms she'd figure things out. After a bit of practice, she made a point. How she cant get past metal detection and such "Si, that is troublesome. But again, I think there is a time and a place. You dont need to always carry a gun. But even if you never use a firearm again. It does feel good to know how to use it. In case of a scenario where you disarm someone and take their weapon. I saw situations where someone would disarm a person, only to realize they had the safety on the entire time... oh yeah, speaking of that" Antonio said and then showed her how to put that and how to remove that. It was simple enough and she got it
Then she said she fights more with hands, fists, legs and melee. He nodded "Mhm. I dont use guns all the time. I can get physical. Although my melee weapon is... a bit too strange for modern times." he admitted
He looked at the time and then asked her, if she wanted to practice more here or move on to their other place so they can practice melee combat

Narcissa nodded and would just look at how to do it and continue to do so by following Antonio's teaching. She would explain to him, as carefully as she could that this would not be for her but he did not wave it away and she nodded. She just did not want to be ungrateful but that is how she worked. She explained to him and he explained to her what she could do with that info. "But than again I should do it more often," She frowned and wasn't sure if she wanted to do that or that she wanted to have more moments like this with Antonio. Probably not.
But she would not make meany comments now and simply told him about her melee fighting. "Now that's what I want to see though." She licked her lips and looked him up and down again. Though she knew exactly what it looked like. "Do you mind if we go?" She looked a bit nervous by asking it because she did not want to ruin it again. She would rather see him fight melee and learn from that, considering she had been blocked for at least a few months and Narcissa bit her lip and did not want to talk too much about how she felt about that.

He smiled and said. "Well then. Lets go" Antonio was glad that she did not ask about his weapon of use. Instead he just escorted her out and opened the door to the car. Once she sat, he went to his seat and drove off. He would then drive her somewhere where they can practice melee combat. The ride was also a tad bit of the long side. Antonio focused on the driving and thought about the training, he would need to keep his strength in check, as he does not want to hurt Narcissa
Granted it would be interesting to train. Its been a while since Antonio did some physical training. He considered that since he was slowly edging to his retirement that he should stop training and take it easy. He wondered if he was in shape? Most likely not, his Quirk is not what it used to be. How could it? He has been taking it easy for a good while.
Eventually, they arrived and he soon parked his car and just like before, he helped the lady out "Here we are. I think we can practice here in peace." he said, but still he was not sure how would he do that with her. How skilled was she?

Narcissa looked up surprised when Antonio took the stuff and simply said to let's go and she hurried after him as fast as she could. "Okay but ehm, I didn't come prepared for that." They would do this, though well she was dressed fine for it, not the best way and she looked at her choice of colour and shook her head a little, so she would be fine. He would open the door for her and she would sit down and just simply frown to see what he would do and what he would say but this drive, no matter that it was longer, he said nothing. She pouted unknowingly and just sat there leaning again on her elbow and looking out of the window. She did not know what to say. She would see what would happen and well eventually she would just see what was going on. She would just get out of the car, not per se waiting for Antonio but she take his hand when she lifted herself up and look up to the strange place. "Fancy."
She braided her hair very quickly and only half but that it wouldn't become knotted together and would not fall in her face. "Don't look at me like a delicate daisy. I can handle something." She said and she touched his chest before walking past him to the door to see if they would go there and she would also be open minded if she would walk to the wrong door but she did not expect so. She had no weapon, she did not care at this point, she wanted to see what he did and she would not mind training, but maybe she could buy some better knives from Giovanni later, or would he only sell guns?

Narcissa looked up surprised when Antonio said that they should go. She said ok, but she wasnt ready for this. Antonio said "Thats ok. Neither am I" he wasnt prepared for this too. One ride later. One quiet ride later that is, they have arrived to their destination. Narcissa said this was fancy. Antonio scratched his head and said "You think so? I think its nothing special"
Together they went in to train. As they walked Narcissa braided her hair so it doesnt get in her way. She told him right away to not look at her as if she is a delicate daisy. She said this as she touched his chest and walked past him. It left him a bit in awe.
Naricissa didnt walk in the wrong door or anything, she was in the right place. But now that both were here. He spoke "So you want to train with a weapon or do you want unarmed combat?" he asked so he can know her preference. And considering they were gonna get physical. Narcissa already prepared by braiding her hair. He might as well prepare the same way. By taking of his jacket and shirt. Effectively being shirtless. He just didnt want to ruin his clothes. They were expensive

His response to her not being ready surprised her again, "I thought you were born ready." It was a bad attempt to a joke and she looked at him. She would want to know what he meant with it, was it because of her, what was it? She shouldn't think so highly of herself but Narcissa did which was why she felt a little vain and arrogant. She just assumed he did not want to hurt her. Which he technically already did but that was only in the mental form, maybe he noticed and wanted to refrain from the physical form. Which was why she would tell him that later, but not now. The car ride was silent, she wasn't saying much as she was just looking outside and she would see. When getting out she made the sarcastic comment of fancy. "It's not in looks but the fact you have a place where you can fight with quirks or fight your training, it's fancy." Her penthouse had a training room like that but ten times smaller and not perfect, which was why this was a fancy change of something useful.
But as they went inside, she already braided her hair and got ready for it. She walked past him, showing that she wasn't afraid and showing a little flirt. Touching his chest softly, saying she wasn't a delicate daisy while continuing to walk and swinging her hips left and right. You have to have something if you wanted to keep a bit of feminine charm. She looked over her shoulder and smiled amused as he looked after her and in awe. She took the right door and looked at the open space, this was really nice indeed. "I don't have a weapon, so why don't we try unarmed first, we could see if we have the spirit left for the following?"
She turned her heal and looked at Antonio as he took off his shirt and raised her eyebrow, her eyes still glued to it. Right, some people did that. "Don't expect me to do that." Though she did take off her jacket and it would just be in her shirt and trousers. "So no quirk use then?" She had no idea what his quirk was, but she considered he had one. Both had obviously not shown much about it. She had her hands disappear to strangle Shi- Shu, whatever her name was. That's all he had seen.

He chuckled at Narcissa's joke and replied "I am flattered you think so". And thus after a few more exchange of words, the two went to the car and drove to their next destination. Antonio didnt know what to speak or what to say, how to start and alas their ride was silent. Even Narcissa didnt speak. But he assumed she probably didnt want to. By the time Antonio thought of something, the two had arrived to their destination.
Getting out of the vehicle, Narcissa told him that it was fancy, but Antonio said it was nothing special. Narcisa explained that its not the looks that are special, but the fact they have a place to train. "Thank you" he replied. While his opinion differed. It was just a warehouse. But it was very roomy and spacey for physical training. Honestly, its just storage place for weapons in storage boxes. Its Giovanni's property. So when people need weapons, mostly firearms, they are all here. Yes, on the looks it wasnt fancy, but maybe Narcissa was right. Maybe the fact they have a location is fancy.
Narcissa then told him in advance that she is no delicate daisy as well as she prepared her hairdo so it doesnt get in her way. Still, the way she walked and moved left him in awe. He then regained his composure and had to prepared himself for the spar. He removed his jacket and shirt as he did not want it to be ruined. He then looked at Narcissa as she said that she doesnt have a weapon "I mean, we can find one if you want?"
And then she turned her heel and saw him shirtless. And proclaimed right away that he shouldnt expect her to do that, it made him chuckle "I know I know. I can wish though" he said with a wink. "But jokes aside. I did it so my outfit doesnt get ruined. Usually in fights someone just tears off my shirt and it sucks" he shrugged and thus explained that the reason he is shirtless was just to maintain his clothes and make sure they're in one peace. Not to distract her, although that is a plus.
Narcissa then asked is it no quirk use "Ah si. That is right. We dont know eachothers quirk, right?" he asked He wasnt sure if she shared her quirk. At the top of his head, he couldnt remember. She probably didnt. He was sure he never told her his. But maybe they should share the knowledge just so they're on the same page. Granted since Narcissa is an informant... she may reveal his Quirk to others. Maybe he should pay her to keep that secret

Narcissa wasn't sure if the stop of the conversation in the car was bad. If they got passed the point of making it something bad or if they would just see how this would go again. She would not say much, wondering how her fighting would go against a man that always fought, fought for everything, while she fought for nothing. She did not fight anymore because her training had not been necessary and as an informant, she at this point got people to protect her. Antonio is one of them, though she had not called that favour in just yet. She would have a moment in the future where she would speak almost about knowing Witch Doctor, but she had refrained from it. It was fine like this, but she was always on the path of destruction of course. So she would flirt with him again. It fitted her better than having the icy cold surrounding them, something she disliked. But there was a lot Narcissa disliked, herself being on top of that list. She was glad they got a space to train and she would see how it goes, if she should call it training or not. Will Antonio teach her or would it just be a match to see how good she would be.
As they arrived, she moved her hair aside, touched the man before walking on. Making sure he would not immediately underestimate her. However, there was now, of course, a high chance that she underestimated him. "Should we? I don't know, I might just want to see how well I can protect myself without. Considering bringing them along on my normal job is so difficult. Yet who knows what will happen ever." After all, she was the one that was hold hostage, something she did not want to share. Held against her will in an operation that she had shared, for god sake, such a weak little lady she had looked and had to act like to not lose face. She hated it, every minute of it and she felt disgusted while thinking about it.
But as she turned to look at Antonio over her shoulder. The thought disappeared. He was hot to look at. She tried to joke that she would not do that for him. Her facial expression became softer when he said he could wish and winked at her. "Hm, maybe one day I get the honours of doing so in another fight." With another she did not meant a training like this, more like one from before. But she remained smiling, before they would start as she shrugged off her own jacket, she made sure to ask no quirks. "I always assumed you had one. But mine isn't really that useful for the actual fighting part." Of course, her quirk could be useful, have a disappearing opponent can't be easy to fight against. She smiled at him before she simply disappeared. Reflecting the colours of the empty lobby of the warehouse. Making no sound as she stepped towards him. Going aside instead of directly, moving around Antonio before putting her hands on his shoulders and well her lips meeting his. Sometimes, she should kick away her pride and stop being so angry. It just felt impossible.
