[ the child's crying distracts him both in sound and attention, so hearing someone speak gets him startled. it's to explain how he reaches for his gun and--
--it's on his right side, and his right arm currently the one occupied with the child. damn. ]
It's fine. [ he quickly answers, defensive, frustrated. well she's not holding a weapon, so it's not a big deal right now. he does take a moment to shift the child in his arms so it rests in his left arm. just in case. ] Something just spooked him.
