Well, considering if she wasn't there. It would still get done. He wasn't about to let things get out of hand. He'd do those things if she didn't want to. Not like they talked about it or anything. He got out of bed, and followed her into the kitchen. He was recuperating from the assault, his forces would have to have some down time, and would need to regain their morale.
Being tickled by a woman was very demoralizing for his troops.
Too bad he didn't care about his troops.[/i]
"Ya know you don't have to do that."
He said, walking in in all his bare chested, shorts wearing glory. Yes, that's right, in the kitchen in bed attire! It was how the morning began! Rawr!

"I want to."
Simple as that. Kate felt good when she was doing stuff like this. Normal almost. For a moment she could believe they were just normal people living normal lives. Even if just for a moment. The blonde smiled over her shoulder. Normal would be nice.
"Wanna be nudist."
Kate grinned. Vale looked good without his shirt. Very good. She just teased him about things. It was the way she was. Finishing with the dishes the blonde just leaned on the counter with a sweet smile. Alright, so what if he had remembered it was her birthday? This day just might be fun.
"So...what did you get me?"
The question was finally out. Kate wanted to know. She wanted to know really bad.

"What?"
Seriously questioning that line of thinking. Nudist? Never, ever. He wouldn't, there was no way on God's green earth littered with craters that he would ever become a nudist. It just wasn't in him, he didn't have the typical male drive to fantasize about something like that. And since he didn't have the drive to fantasize, there was no way in Hell that that snowball would last five minutes.
".... Nothing too big. You'll like it."
It could actually make her cry, he'd have to get it though, and he didn't want to get it yet. It was jewelry, that never fails if you know what you're doing. And Valekin knew what he was doing, his sisters got something along those lines from him every year. And he already finished Kate's tattoo. It was pretty, and that was strictly for her, but the gift was even more for her, it was for her, and her emotions. It would appeal to the bonds she'd make with her new found family. Him, her kids. All that.

Kate crossed her arms and lifted one eyebrow. She'd like it, but Vale wasn't getting her present nor was he telling her what it was. That was maddening. Her fingers tapped along her arms until the blonde just sighed. At least he wasn't putting his shirt on, that was good enough for her for now.
"So, what did you want to do today then?"
Her arms dropped and she just stood there. When was Valekin's birthday anyways? What could he have gotten her? If she had known it was jewelry she would have smiled. Kate like jewelry, though so far what she had gotten included some necklaces. One with a rose locket, the other with a wolf fang. Both had been forever put away, in a box, in the closet. Funny how Kate couldn't decided whether or not to throw them completely away, or save them for her children. They were nice necklaces after all.

"Whatever you want, I've got nothing planned on purpose."
It seems as though he had indeed planned this out more than he usually plans these sorts of things. This time by completely clearing his schedule, and devoting his time to whatever it was that she wanted to do. Of course most days were like this, as he usually didn't have that much to do, but there were those times where he was gone for an entire night, and he'd crawl back into bed after a good shower at three or four in the morning.
At least she knew that he wasn't the sort to cheat.[/i]

Whatever she wanted? Whatever? A few things ran through her mind, that much was for sure. Roller skating. That would be funny with Valekin. Roller skating would, however, if she fell the wrong way... Her fingers went to her stomach and she frowned. Even if there was the slimmest chance of something hurting her child...Kate wouldn't take the chance. No it'd have to be something safer, something she couldn't topple over and hurt herself with. No chance at all.
"Time to really think."
Kate walked over to Vale and poked him in the stomach with a grin. Topless Vale. She walked past him to make the bed. Kate found herself doing such things because she wanted to. For some odd reason, the blonde felt good when she did stuff like this. At least it was mindless work she could do while she thought on other things. Like what they were going to do today.
"I really dunno Vale."

"Well, we could lay around all day and watch TV, or we could get the sniper rifles out and start shooting the windows of the abandoned buildings."
Both were fun. Though the shooting out of windows was much more satisfying to him at times. Mostly because he was shooting something, that something broke, and then it was done with. A sense of accomplishment if you will. That sense of accomplishment was what was so great about shooting out windows. Aside from that, she'd learn to aim with a rifle that had automatic and single shot settings. Wouldn't that be great.
Wait.. was Kate opposed to guns and violence?
He couldn't remember.[/i]

Shooting guns to break windows or lie around watching tv? Kate held out her hand, smirking. She'd take the gun. At least the blonde would be up and doing something. Right now she didn't feel like lying around watching tv.
"Gimme the gun."
A silly grabby hand motion. Kate was just playing around though, she knew a gun was something NOT to play with. This would probably end up very relaxing though. The blonde wanted to be relaxed. Her hand stopped being silly, and Kate just gave Vale a soft smile. Miss McHallin had never held a gun, nor shot one off. Not even a BB gun. Nothing.
"You'll have to teach me."

"Rifles are easy to learn. It's automatic weapons that you need to learn how to aim. Then there are handguns, you can do all sorts of things with a handgun."
Valekin actually preferred the handgun over the assault rifle, and the sniper rifle. But in certain situations, the assault and sniper rifle was more practical. And those were the weapons he sided with in those situations. Besides, he didn't like to use pussy 7.62 rounds. They were only good when fired in mass quantities or from very far away with high power. Not exactly a stopping round.
Anyway, he put on his boots, and left them untied. Then motioned for her to follow him. If she did, he'd lead her to his 'armory'. And I'm not lying, it's practically an armory. It was a case full of all sorts of guns. Ranging from handguns, to assault weapons, to sniper rifles. In the drawers below the case, he had all his ammunition. It was a lot of ammunition. With a pair of keys he had grabbed on the way to the room, he unlocked the three bullet proof glass slides covering his assortment of rifles and sniper rifles. No assault weapons on this side.
He selected a Dragunov SVD, not too heavy at 4.31 kg, about 1225mm long including the barrel, using a 7.62x54mm round, gas operated, with a 600 meter lethal effective range at 830 meters per second. It had a ten round detachable magazine, and both iron and telescopic sights.
"Like this one?"

Kate followed, a little unsure of where they were going. She had never been in this room. Ever. The blonde followed, and was a little shocked to see what lay inside the room. So many guns... One eyebrow lifted at the male. Did he have any more of these rooms hiding around here?
"Seems good to me."
The pale woman had nothing to go on. Nothing else to compare it to at all. She had never held a gun, or anything of the sort. She stepped forward so Kate was standing right next to Vale. Her fingers would touch the rifle and she'd shrug. Seemed good enough for her.

"Feel the weight, and put the scope to your eye so your face rests on the cheek pad. Then tell me how it feels."
He said, holding the weapon out for her to take from him. It was unloaded of course. He doesn't keep his weapons loaded. They're all nicely locked away, with the ammunition locked away as well. He unlocked a drawer and pulled out two boxes of the ammunition, and started loading an extra magazine. When she was done testing the gun's weight and feel, he'd get the magazine off of it, and load that.
"I'll be carrying the rounds until we get to the spot."
The spot was their bedroom.

Kate listened to Valekin and took the gun from him. She lifted it and put the scope to her eye. It wasn't too heavy, and everything seemed good to her. She'd nod and smile. Another fun day with Vale, shooting windows out around their place with rifles. Who else did that?
Who else would think of it? She remembered the stories of his past. Of what he had told her so long ago. Things had not been easy for him, from the little she had heard. Kate held the rifle with two hands, following Vale where ever he went. Life could sure be interesting around him. That much was for sure.

He brought them back, to their room and opened the windows. They had a good view of the industrial quarter from their room. He cleared his laptop from the desk, and various other materials. This way she could lay down on the desk, and take her shots. He set the magazines onto the desk, and then patted it.
"Lay on this on your or sit at the desk. Do not touch the trigger, but hold it by the grip all the same. Wrap your arm around the firing devices to the elbow. Make sure the barrel sits in the nook of your elbow."
He watched her to make sure she was doing it right. Otherwise he would have intervened, and showed her the right way. Personally, he liked to lay down and aim. But that was his preference. That was all.

Kate laid down on the desk, adjusting her body as she was told. The blonde made sure the barrel was sitting in the crook of her elbow and looked into the scope.
"Which windows are we shooting out?"
Her feet crossed at the ankles. Kate was just getting comfortable, adjusting herself to holding the gun and trying to relax. The old cheer leading captain would have fun with this. She licked her lips as she awaited Vale's reply. Kate wanted to pull that trigger and shatter a window already.

"You have to load it still."
He took the magazine, and made sure the clip curved towards the windows before slamming it into the weapon. He then checked the chamber, which forced a bullet into the said chamber. Then he sat on the desk, and watched her, not what she was pointing the gun at. He really didn't care what she shot. As long as she was having fun.
"There.. now shoot whichever window you want. Like it matters which one you shoot."
He would have said, that she could shoot a person. But he didn't think she would go for that. Besides, he wouldn't tell her to kill people that he didn't know about. Only certain people needed to be rightfully assassinated. Like dirty cops and politicians.
