worst-case scenario

[For someone so unused to guns -they're an extremely uncommon weapon in the Seven Kingdoms, only just coming into style thanks to overseas invention. But Cassandra never cared for them herself. They were clunky, noisy, and smelled of burning smoke once their limited use was made up. Give her a sword any day, and she'd show you just what close-quarters combat could do that a firearm couldn't.

Of course, that bravado isn't going to stop a bullet all on its own, but... that's what armor of unbreakable rock is for.

Oof!

[The bullet hits dead on, right in the center of her ribcage. It doesn't break through her armor, no, but it leaves a distinct crack where it hands where something else might leave a dent. The force of it brings Cassandra to stumble, but she doesn't fall, no mater how shocked she is at the sudden forcing of all the air from her chest.]

Wha... what? [...] Falco?
