[ hey man, it's cool. he can totally relate. one minute you're relaxing, and then... out comes a deadly whatever that was, determined to eat you. ]
It looks like we've got a few options. You could try and take a shot right now, before it surfaces, wait until it attacks us and then take the shot, or I could use my... paddling [ ? ] skills and try to row us out of here, and risk accidentally hitting it.
Either way, something tells me we're still going to end up with a hungry and pissed off... whatever that is. So it's your call.
[ hey, the kid seems to know what he's doing so far. and if he doesn't he can always yell out tips. ]
[ lance makes a low, considering sound in the back of his throat. he's clearly thinking it over, keeping his eyes on the shadow moving almost lazily beneath them. they haven't moved since it appeared, and he has a sinking suspicion it's just waiting for them to give it a reason to strike...
that said, lance is also hesitant to take the first blood himself. he never tries to pull his trigger unless he has to, and as far as he knows, they're in the wrong here, encroaching on this creature's territory. maybe even it's home.
but, at the end of the day, if it has to be between them or it...
he sighs, nodding once. readjusting his hold on his rifle to take aim. ]
Let's just hope that's the head.
[ otherwise they'll have a hungry monster on their tail, extra pissed off because someone just took a shot at it. ]
[ that's the human way, isn't it? they never want to lose anyone, while turians sometimes have to play a little more with that ruthless calculus.
but, none of that really matters when it's in between you getting eaten and you surviving. so, when the kid takes a shot, thankfully it actually does seem to be the head. because... that looks like there's no more circling. ]
Nice shot.
[ looks like they might just be in the clear.
...unless there happens to be another sea serpent lurking somewhere close by that they can't see just yet. then things might get a little complicated. ]
[ PERHAPS THERE IS but for the moment, let's let them have this tiny spot of peace. lance beams, looking quite proud of himself, and even prouder that garrus acknowledged it. with a wave of his hand, the rifle disappears in a flash of light, and he's standing there with a hip cocked out like he's freaking han solo or their respective universes' equivalent of. ]
Yeeeeeah, it's kind of what I do. Back home, I'm pretty much known as the ninja sharpshooter.
[ he has no reason to doubt Lance. after all, turians enter the military when they're only fifteen. but still... that attitude reminds him a little of someone he knows.
totally not himself. ]
I'm also pretty good with a sniper rifle, myself. Unfortunately, mine's still up in storage on the station. When we get to the mainland, I could try and give you a demonstration.
[ you know. when they're not threatened with the terrifying prospect of drowning or being eaten by a sea monster. ]
