Perhaps, when the park is expanded, that might not be enough to muffle the gunshots. But until then, he and his wardens have their private little practice range.
Glad as he is of her reassurance, he's more glad of the hand on his arm. Being polite and respectful of a person's space is difficult when he'd gladly hold her close. It's easier, and affirming, for her to close that particular gap. Even if it doesn't make it any easier to remain politely composed.
Hopefully she won't see through him squinting slightly as he keeps his focus on her conversation and not on anything else about her, as if every part of her isn't beautiful and demanding to be paid attention to. "Couldn't you fix the taste with magic?"
