( it's not a no but it's an i'm wary to try anything. which makes it hard to approach, too, because jason does get it. not the they'd die if they tried magic on me thing, he doesn't know accelerator's deal there, but the rest of it. )

You're getting the hang of reloading, wanna move on to disassembling it? If you're gonna fuck around with a gun, you need to know it inside and out.

( you don't, not really. but jason needs to, and jason's not letting anyone run around with one until they do. not if it's something he has a say in. especially not a kid, and one who's planning on handling it completely one-handed. )

You want me to see if I can find someone who'll try it, or do you want me to drop it?

( helping beyond this. he'll check with strange, check with people he knows who've been here longer, who know more than jason does. but it's easy enough to let go of, too. it's not his right side. jason couldn't live like that--he doesn't have an ability to balance it off, he'd get killed too quickly or he'd get himself fucked over more because he doesn't know how to stop. it'd be shit either way. )
