Aware of the danger, Victor nodded "Of course- of course. Just, don't try and strike me with that knife, we both know that will not go over well. You especially should know if you have heard about the NCR Elite Rangers" He warned her with a good amount of caution showing on his face. "Look, I never hurt anyone unless I think I need to- so that is why I did not go outright and shoot at you, besides that warning shot which is imbedded in that wall over there where you were trying to take cover. I could have killed you at any time." I spoke to her as honestly as I could make myself seem to be, figuring she would prefer that instead of lying. Slowly I slipped her pistol out from my belt, checked the amounted rounds she had and whistled as though I was impressed. "You know, you could have caused some serious damage with these to us. I want you to think about why you did not take a chance to try and murder us all- I think I may already have an idea about your reasoning. But out of respect for your feelings I will not tell you- to avoid any over thinking and panic on your behalf."<br/><br/>I put my helmet back on and I walked over to her, keeping one hand on my own knife while I put the gun on the ground in front of her and backed up again. It was a stupid decision, and in his own set of rules she was someone who was qualified to be killed. It was Victors own decision to do this, go out on a limb for someone that is.<br/><br/>"I never claimed to be your father, I did not intend for anyone to get hurt, and it was my fault my friend went in here and not me. I should have been the one to get shot- or at least have a risk of it. Though it was ultimately your decision to fire your gun, even if your judgement was clouded. Even if you told yourself not to, and that it was the wrong thing to do- you did it anyways, most likely because of panic." For some reason, it felt like he was talking about himself at this point. "I suggest you find someone to care about and put your trust into, when you reconnect with a human being and finally understand what your actions mean, you will find that you will learn how to stop yourself from shooting instead of doing it. Even if you get burned in the process, you do it anyways. That is what I am doing with you, and I hope you do not disappoint yourself with the next choice you make." After that the Ranger quickly exited the building, drawing his revolver as ran down the road and followed the blood trail of his friend. '"God, where the hell did that come from, I am never good at talking to people- so... oh... right" he murmured. Remembering what happened to him in the past "I guess she is similar to me when I was younger and sniped targets for the rangers.... she is very much like I was indeed, I hope she calms down though..." he whispered. Still running along the blood trail as quietly as his worried steps would allow. "I also hope I did not make a mistake when it came to letting her live, and giving her weapon back."
