River placed the plates down and walked with Aeryn, removing a few pieces swiftly. When she came to the rod, River brought herself down to give a slower, fluid demonstration.
"Pull back, pop the end towards the barrel, bring out the rear and don't roll it at all. There's a notch here..." River pointed to a small dent in the metal "... and it will pop in place eventually but if you place it on the table without letting it roll, you can place it exactly where it needs to."
She popped it back in with a smile and handed the weapon back to Aeryn. She turned to leave but stopped herself.
"And when it's time to actually use this weapon in action, make sure you cock the weapon twice. Usually it only takes once but I noticed the gun is a little worn down and two cocks will eliminate any excess air in the cabin."
She went to move but stopped herself again.
"Fully take the weapon apart and place each piece like a diagram. Look and see where each piece goes. Everything has it's part. When you see the insides, you know how it works."
River diverted her eyes to the ground when she walked away. She didn't mean to upstand Aeryn but River always had that effect on people.
