For now, Inara remained poised and in control, keeping her eye out for the field before her as the holo-targets began to spring to life. Her eyes watched over their design, studying them briefly as she looked and calculated the distance between where she was standing and where the targets were. While this whole affair made her just a tad bit nervous— it was mostly due to being in such close proximity to Cassian. Normally she wouldn't care too deeply but there was something in the air between them, a familiarity that began to grow the more time they spent together. It was almost ridiculous in a way—

she felt like she didn't want to disappoint him or embarrass herself before him. It didn't take long though for those feelings to fade though, she was a woman who strove to be in control, it was something drilled into her at a young age. So as Cassian moved to the background, she took a more firm and in control stance, holding her arms up as she aligned the weapon towards the first target. She was confident and cool, but then he had to go and say her name like that. It brought a soft blush to her face before she finally did shoot, falling a few inches away from the center of the target.

"Not bad for a newbie, right?", she said softly, turning her gaze back before she smiled at Cassian. There was no way she'd show him that brief wave of emotions she had felt. Absolutely never.
