"What are you doing?" Max asked, curious and a little concerned. She hoped he knew how to put it back together...
"im cleaning it" he said as he looked around for something cleanish to use to wipe down the parts "if im correct on what im doing" he added as he found a mostly clean rag and whipped the dust off of it "otherwise it will jam like it did to you earlier" ace was slowly remembering how to do this and was finding parts he felt like they should be replaced...sadly this was their only 10 mil so cleaning was all he could do
"Cleaning it? But I only got it from the Stable armoury a few days ago..." Now that she looked at it though, the parts did seem quite dirty; maybe wearing the holster on her leg where it got covered in trail dust wasn't such a good idea?
"well it has a fine layer of dust and-" he just stopped and stained at her be he wasnt seeing her he was seeing a memory
"Well hey," Max said, placing a comforting hoof on his shoulder, "This is good news! I can't say for sure, but it looks like your memory might return on it's own; especially if we can find the relevant cues..." It seemed to her that he'd remembered his trainer as a result of doing something familiar; stripping the weapon down. Maybe if he did some other familiar activities, he'd remember something else? "What else do soldiers do?" She asked, keen to test this theory.
"Well, maybe tomorrow you could show me how to shoot?" She suggested. She'd had training in the Stable, but that was years ago, and she hadn't really paid much attention...
"sure....but we should wait till we find more bullets" he told her as he finished the cleaning his guns
"Oh, I've got a whole load," She said, opening one of her saddlebags and showing him a dozen boxes of 10mm ammo. "Stables tend to be very well equipped..."
"well then sure" he said smiling as he got up to lay in one of the beds he made "we can do it tomorrow after finding some supplies"
"Okay, we'll do that, then head into the town; I still want to see if we can find a hospital..." She curled up on the other bed and closed her eyes, getting ready to sleep.
Max woke up a lot more comfortable than she had been the last few mornings; these beds Ace had made were actually pretty comfy! She got up and stretched, then headed over to one of the windows, rubbing away some of the dirt so she could see out. The timberwolves had gone, and it all looked quiet out there...
ace all of a suddon takled her and had his sword to her throat as he breathed heavily his eyes focused and he droped the sword to the groun"oh max...im....im so sorry" he said quickly getting off of her
