Maybe? You know I'm not the close combat type, I'd figure you would want me to be able to keep my distance more once I can aim well enough for it.
[Though after a moment, he huffs out a sigh, adding-] Alright, if I can aim well enough for it. I don't know that I'll ever really end up much of a marksman, honestly.
[He might not give himself enough credit, but given that it's not his primary focus... well, Ryan's often his harshest critic, and he's sure he could be improving faster. The thing is being able to put more time into it when supplies are low and time is generally at a premium.]
Honestly, I'll be happy if we can teach you how to handle an assault rifle and you can just spray bullets and hope they hit something.
[There's more teasing in his voice now.]
Sniping takes focus and not worrying about more than one target at a time, knowing you'll have the others or the people you're with'll have them. If you wanna learn that, then I'll definitely teach you. But it'll take markmanship, calm, all of it.
[He smooths Ryan's hair back, fingers playing a little with the curls. It's meant to be a soothing gesture, something to help Ryan relax, but Garrus isn't entirely sure hair and scalps work like that. It's worth a try, though.]
Whatever winds up serving you best, keeping you safest, Ryan.
