Johanna nods in understanding on the terms of having her gun and shooting it. She looks rather pleased with all of this. "I understand, Sounds good"

"Thanks! My father bought it for me a couple of years ago as a Birthday present. He said it congratulate me for how well I did in the shooting competition." She chuckles and shakes her head a little "I am sure he did it to mess with my mum."

Dennis snickers, "Men do that sort of thing. Come on down when you're ready. I think you'll get a kick out of my rifle when you see it."

He leaves the rifle and case with Johanna, but takes the ammo box with him as he starts down the hallway, heading out the front door of the mansion.

"Tell me about it..." Johanna sounds both well aware of it and amused by it the same time.

"I will be down in a moment, Sir." She waits for Dennis to leave and closes the door behind him, pondering what the man knew about guns, and what kind of gun he would have. To her, she didn't match the image of a Texan man with a cowboy hat and a high caliber handgun. She shrugs at her thoughts and looks down at her case and hastily grabs it and places it on top of her bed.

She sits down on top of her knees and she opens the case, taking out the hunting rifle. Johanna takes a good, careful and long look at her gun, inspecting it in detail for damage from transportation. She wipes the stock with her shirt's sleeve and stands up. She was about to open the door and run out after Dennis with the gun in her hand, but the realization of that what a student running around with the gun would look like came to her and made her flush with embarrassment.

She puts the gun back into its case, picks it up and runs downstairs.

Dennis is standing next to the car he drives students around in, which is parked in front of the school for a change, with the trunk open. He's pulled a rifle of his own out of said trunk and set it leaning against the car with the butt on the ground.

Johanna recognizes it as an original Ruger 10/22, manufactured in the late sixties or early seventies.

Dennis looks up and waves her over, "Come on over, I'm just loading a magazine for you to use. Feel free to pick her up if you want," he says, indicating the Ruger with a nod of his head.

Johanna's jaw drops a little when she sees the rifle, running next to it and placing her case on the ground next to her as she squats down to have a closer look at it. "Dude, I have never seen this thing in the wild before! Only pictures in the magazines by my dad's place."

She does not have to be told twice as she picks up the rifle when gaining the permission to do so. She handles the gun with care and respects like it was her own, looking at it from different angles before she lifts it up and looks down at the sight, aiming towards the car. "She is pretty" Johanna admits, sounding rather envious of Dennis, but it does not distract her from her childlike glee.

"Does she have a name?" She lowers the barrel and looks at Dennis.

Denis chuckles and jokes, "That's Lil Susy. She's my favourite, really, but don't tell her sisters that. Especially Georgiana, my shotgun."

He finishes putting bullets into the magazines and holds out two of the ones for Johanna's rifle, "This ought to be enough. We each have ten rounds, which ought to be about four times as many as we'll need but hey, better safe than sorry, right?"

Johanna puts Lil Susy down like she found it and takes the magazines. She looks at them with mild curiosity and then up at Dennis with a wicked grin "If you plan to miss." She chuckles, leaning down to pick up her case from the ground "So, Uhmmm... Is the Greenhouse far away?"

"Nah, it's over on the other side of the mansion, that way," Dennis says as he points, "But see that big field of grass going all the way to the foot of the hill there? They're scattered all around in that field. I already ran them out of the greenhouse and plugged the hole they dug for the twelfth time, so now it's come to this. I told the Doctor this would happen if he didn't spring for a proper cement barrier under the ground, but he said he had to cut costs somewhere so he only got a foundation for the greenhouse itself."

Dennis takes up his rifle and loads it before gesturing in the direction of the greenhouse, "Ladies first."

Johanna nods and makes way towards the greenhouse. "So, We're hunting rabbits?" She asks while they are walking.

"Prairie dogs," Dennis says, resting his rifle on his shoulder as he walks, "Which is kinda funny, really, because we ought to be too far west for them, but hey, what do I know? I just looked them up on Wikipedia."

"They look like uhmmm... Kinda like bunnies without the ears?" She smiles, trying to make a gesture with her hand holding the cartridges that tries to mimic the said ears. "I'm just... you know... Making sure I shoot the right thing and nothing like endangered or something."

Johanna pauses for a moment and sighs "S-sorry, I feel like I am walking on eggshells after being transferred here."

"I don't think anything endangered is on campus, unless it's the Doctor's hairline," Dennis quips with a toothy grin.

"Well... That's partially my fault, so I guess I shouldn't laugh too much. You wanna talk to me about your anxiety?"

Johanna manages to stifle a laughter at Dennis's joke.

"I don't know... I just hate how things have not gone according to the plan with the military school. I'm just afraid I am going to mess up again and be flown off back to home with nothing to show for being here." She sighs heavily and shrugs "Everyone is nice here, yes, but... I'm not that good with new people, you know?" She admits.

"I understand that feeling. To be honest, when I was your age, I didn't know how to deal with people, either. But as time went on I figured it out, and I had a cousin who helped me a lot when I would stick my foot in my mouth. If you want to talk to someone, you can always talk to me, or you can call Calvin any time. The Doctor will make time for you as well, but might not get back to you as quickly."

Dennis stops and thinks for a long moment, "If you want to talk to one of your peers, though, Tamera has got to be the most approachable and forgiving person I've ever met. I suppose you'll hear this story eventually, so I might as well as give it to you now and make sure you get the right of it. Just the other day that girl got smashed into a wall so hard, she broke at least a dozen bones, and who knows what else. I saw the guy who did it try to apologize to her and she just up and hugged him and told him it was okay, like it was nothing. Well, with her power, it was sort of nothing, and she was up and walking around a minute later, but still, that wasn't nothing, you know?"

"Thanks, I appreciate that." Johanna smiles at Dennis, but the expression soon fades and turns into shock when she hears about Tamera and what happened to her. "Oh wow... That's crazy!" She swallows hard and turns to look forward away from Dennis as she seems to mull over the event in her mind and what this new information tells about the school and its students "I'm glad she is okay, but... Damn."

"And I thought me freezing few square kilometers of forest was bad."

"Eh, it was really my fault in the end. I'm the one who started up our self-defense training early. If I had kept to the schedule, the whole incident wouldn't have happened. But I think it worked out in the end, at least, because if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't have had an opening for you. The kid who hurt Tamera volunteered to go over to the military academy you were at before.," Dennis explains, "And you can see the greenhouse as we round this corner."

"You make it sound like a lot of things here are your fault, Sir" Johanna gives Dennis an impish smile before she retracts it "S-sorry, bad joke."

Johanna looks rather relieved when she fears the person who hurt Tamera is no longer in the school, but she does not voice any concerns related to it.

"Right. So, after we shoot them do we like... cook and eat them or something? Never shot or even seen a Prarie Dog before." She asks as they are closing in on their target location.

Dennis chuckles, "I don't know that they'd be good eating, and Miss Olensson would have a fit, especially with as much time as she spends in that kitchen."

An idea physically seizes Dennis, causing him to spin to face Johanna and talk a bit louder without realizing it, "Ah, I really am an idiot! I read in your file that you speak Swedish, well, Erika does too. That might help you feel more at home, having someone to chat with in your mother's language. Plus, she's a real sweetheart as well, and bakes the most amazing cookies I've ever had."

Looks somewhat embarrassed after making a suggestion that seems to be ridiculous. She runs her index finger through her hair in a nervous manner with the hand holding the cartridges.

"oh... Oh! Is she Swedish?!" Johanna asks after being delightfully surprised. "Does she bake Kanelbulle?"

"Norwegian, and I don't even know what that is, but if you're that excited about it I hope she does," Dennis says with a shrug.

"Oh..." She sounds a little disappointed at first but pulls a smile on her face "Close enough, I guess!"

"Jag undrar om han gör baka kanelbulla" She asks from herself.

Dennis just shrugs when Johanna changes language, walking past the greenhouse and stopping to take a look over the field.

Walking by the greenhouse, the pair can help but notice the bulky outline of Blake sitting on a bench inside, presumably lost in thought, although he doesn't appear to have noticed your presence.

Johanna gasps as she is surprised by Blake's presence in the Greenhouse as she had been expecting that it was just her and Dennis shooting and stuff. She tries not to pay attention to him through the glass but keeps looking back and forth between him and Dennis, almost walking into him when he stops. She steps to the side and next to Dennis and looks at the field. "So, this is the place? Uhmm, Is it okay if he sees us?"

"Huh? Oh, Blake? Why wouldn't that be okay?" Dennis says, turning to look at Johanna.
