"Yeah when I take my meds. Otherwise i just get…sidetracked…by everything it-" he stopped speaking as soon as he looked around the room. He seemed unable to speak for a couple of seconds until, "Wow…this is…amazing…"

Meg smirked a little at his expression. ”Thanks. I guess it is pretty cool. My jaw dropped first time I found it.” she chuckled softly. ”You can look around, just be careful with the weapons… and the stuff in glass. Some of that, I'm still not sure what it is.”

Theo being who he was would gingery pick up a book and flip to a random point in the book. Yes out of all the weapons and things of the sort he picked up one of the handwritten books and started to read "Did your dad have any wesen friends?"

“I don’t know.” she admitted a little softly. ”He never told me about this stuff until he was on his deathbed. … I like to think he knew some Wesen that he didn't fight with or against.” she let out a small sigh, brushing her hand against the spines of some of the books. ”He seemed like such a nice guy. It's hard to picture him not having friends.”

"I bet he did…if he's anything like you." he smiled a bit as his gaze moved back up to her

Meg shook her head with a soft chuckle. ”If he was like me, he wouldn't have had any friends. You’re the first friend I’ve had since… I started seeing Wesen.” she told him, blushing faintly. ”I have people I know but I can't… let them in. I can't talk about this to anyone without them calling me insane.”

"Don't be so hard on yourself." he chided her as he put the book gently down "I can imagine it's not easy being a Grimm. not able to tell anyone the truth and being feared by Wesen…." he trailed off "Alright I'm training coach." he told her with a little grin

Meg smiled at his understanding, glad that he could and nodded. ”Alright.” she grinned back and opened the closet of weapons. ”Aside from the kanabo, do you know how to use any of these?” she asked as she showed him the weapons.

"well yeah the simpler ones." he told Meg as he picked a small blade from the wall and clicked a button, separating the single blade into three smaller ones

”Fair enough. I’m not sure I qualify as an expert in any of this.” she nodded, watching him trigger the three-bladed knife. She smiled picking up a collapsible crossbow. ”Though I think my dad tried the Miyagi method of teaching for a couple of weapons… How’s your aim?”

"You better believe I know how to shoot living down south in my early life." he chuckled "never shot a crossbow though…a regular bow sure." Theo explained as he remembered he and his brothers having airsoft 'wars', or going to shoot targets and cans with actual guns when they were older.

She chuckled a little, nodding with him. ”Fair enough. A crossbow isn't too different from a gun, really.” Meg told him. ”The trickiest part is loading the bolt… Especially when you try to do it fast.”

"Interesting…and these bolts…how do they differ from arrows you'd fire from a bow?" he asked genuinely curious

”They’re a lot smaller.” she smirked, picking up one to show him. ”I think normally they’re a little more than half the length but I actually have two crossbows. This one is smaller so it's easier to conceal.” she explained.
The bolt she picked up was probably about four inches long and the fetching on the back was slimmer the feathers on an arrow.

"interesting…well I suppose now you're the teacher. Teach away Meg." He smiled and then asked "are we gonna go shoot them?"

”Sure.” she shrugged briefly. ”Let’s take the shooting practice out back. I don't wanna break anything in here plus I don't have any nosy neighbors.” she joked, picking up a small bag that held the extra shots.

"neato!" Theo said as he helped her the best he could. "Can't be too much harder than a bow or gun" (sorry I've been working a lot)

Meg smiled, nodding as she lead him back out of the room. ”It’s really not. It has a safety and trigger just like a gun, and it's just as easy as ”point and shoot”… Though like a bow you do have to accommodate with the weather.” she admitted.
