Alexei, darling, it's Taako.
I've got a little favor to ask, no pressure at all to say yes, you just seemed like the best dude to ask!
Kinda wanna learn how to use a gun, just in case, you know? Any chance you'd be down to give a lesson or two?
[He'd ask Eddie, but Taako is too lazy to do this Officially so that options out, and Illya was a damn good shot when they fought monsters in the tunnels.]

[Illya does the mental equivalent of '!!!' as he reads the text, because he doesn't get many chances to actually use his gun outside of practice. ...Sure, this would still be practice but it would be a welcome change.]
I am not a teacher, you may get tired of my teaching methods. But I would not mind at all.

I can guarantee you would not be the worst teacher I've ever had.
When are you free next, my schedule's pretty flexible :)

Most of my afternoons are free, unless I get called in and then I would have to reschedule.
How does next monday sound?

Monday sounds great, my dude.
This is the kinda shit we shouldn't do in the city, right?

I wouldn't advice it, no.
There's the woods, if you don't mind the chance we may have to actually shot some monsters if we go too deep.

The woods work, I'm sure it'll be fine, especially with you there to protect me ;)
[He just raises an eyebrow at the wink, but it's easier to ignore the flirting when it's on a text message. Illya could get used to texting, really.]
I will see you there, then. At 4?

Always, and I will do my best to answer. ['My best', because Clark knows there are some things he can't reveal. And that includes his own name.
The answer also comes back quickly because someone is a bit of a night owl at times.]

[ He's glad he didn't wake his friend up unnecessarily. ]
What do you do when you're angry?
How do you stop?
[ Clark usually swallows it down and avoids conflict.
But he can't do that this time. He wants to find Manchester Black.
He wants to hurt him. ]

[Ooh boy. Illya's aware he's not the best person to be giving advice for these situations, but he would also feel bad denying a friend help when they come to him for advice. Mostly because that's not a thing that happens often, even if it's happening more and more often since he appeared in this place.
He decides being honest is his best bet.]
I destroy things. The entire room, honestly. I flip tables. But what helps me the most is getting into a fight with someone who deserves it.

[ He can't even say the Kryptonians he fought deserved it. Clark stood against them because he had to.
There's no one he can punch. ]
I thought you might say that.
I feel like I want to.
[ It wouldn't scare him if someone else said that, but Clark doesn't want to become a person who needs to act out every time this happens.
He knows this isn't going to be the first time. ]

Is there a reason why you can't spar with someone? Or break a few cheap things?
[He's obviously unaware of Clark's strength, he wouldn't suggest that otherwise.]

[Well that's... unexpected. But considering the situation he figures it's not exactly surprising.]
Hello, Jyn. I hope everything is alright by now? [By alright he means everything is back to normal.]

I don't think it would, no.
[It's not that he can't imagine Clark angry. It's that Clark's anger seems to run inside, he keeps it to himself while Illya's anger explodes and burns everyone around him. Probably why he doesn't usually have people around him.]
Do you know how to shoot?

Of course. Is tomorrow a good time?
[He'd go now if he could, but shooting in the dark for the first time doesn't sound like the best idea.]

[Once the address is sent he wonders if he should ask Clark what made him so angry, but it feels weird to do it over text. At least to Illya, since text is still pretty new to him and it feels impersonal. So he sends him a short ‘see you tomorrow’ and… goes cook himself something quick, since he doesn’t think he’ll fall back asleep any time soon.
The next day, Illya will be waiting for Clark at the designed spot near the entrance of the woods, way earlier than what he’d told Clark because he’s honestly kind of nervous.]

[ Clark arrives about ten minutes earlier too, only to find that he's actually late? He nods at Illya and smiles at him, but it's a pathetic one. He looks much more subdued than usual, and isn't really feeling cheerful. ]
Is there a shooting range here? I've never come to this part of the woods.
