"You'll learn on the go. I'll teach you. Ideally you'll never have to fire a round outside of a learning setting anyways, if I'm doing my job protecting you right. But in the eventuality something happens, I want you as safe as possible. That means the best possible gear and load-out. I can pick the weapons for you if you're worried about what to take...but...I really have to insist, Aoba. Even the safe places are still dangerous." And the last thing they needed was for Declan to be distracted worrying about every nick and scratch the other man might end up with. He was already going to be on high alert just because that's how he was.
