The bell jingled open and Mina looked up from the front desk. A man had just left and she was putting away some of the info for later reference when who should appear? Three more men... and a baby. Four men?
Three and a half, more like.
She grinned. "Hey Toru!" She greeted, making certain he wouldn't see her caught off guard. It was part of the job. "Who'd ya bring? Keith and..?" She waited.
"Donut," he replied evenly.
She paused for a second. "...Okay, but what's his real name?"

Donato's smile was still slapped on his face as they walked into the range. Oh this was exciting! Or it will be. Maybe. He'd see. The Italian was so excited that he'd of probably started tugging Keith's arm if the other man wasn't holding Gabe.
Seeing as though the guy in question was too thrilled to notice much else, Keith kicked the Ookami's leg to get his attention. The Ookami jumped and turned to the woman with a slightly more calm smile than before. "Oh, name's Donato Martelli. I'll also answer to Don, Donny... and apparently Donut, but that just makes me hungry." Now that he thought about it, he hadn't grabbed a bite to eat yet that day. Wouldn't be the first time he'd skipped a meal or two, though, so he'd let it pass.
"Donato's my best friend from high school." Keith explained. "He just rolled into town today and wanted to check this place out." Easy enough to explain he thought.

Mina grinned and stuck out her hand. "Good ta meetcha then, Donny," she greeted. "I'm Mina, whenever Satoru keels over I'll probably be the one running this place." This got a snort from the gimpy Tora, she smirked. Mission accomplished.
"You seen Egil?" The short Tora asked, moving forward. "Might need someone to watch Gabe, not sure any of the muffs are gonna fit him." That was his main issue, really. Firearms going off around a small child? If his ears were protected, who cared? He was asleep so he wouldn't be bothered.
Mina gave a nod. "He's actually right inside keeping an eye on some guys who were looking a little on the rowdy side, I can watch Gabe if you want." Her eyes were hopeful. The little blond baby was so CUTE and she hadn't had much time with him yet. Just a few moments around Egil when he had babysat.

Donato shook Mina's hand. Everyone seemed pretty cool so far, and when he heard another person being mentioned, well he just liked meeting new people in general.
Keith looked back at Mina. He was a little hesitant, but that was just how he always was when it came to his son. There were few exceptions, but he knew there wouldn't be any harm in letting her take care of him for a bit. "Yeah, sure. You can go ahead and take him now if ya want." He said before passing the little blond over to her. Gabe didn't seem to mind, as long as he wasn't woken up he was fine.

Satoru beckoned the others to follow him as Mina nestled down with Gabe, eyes purely adoring as she held the baby. Mina was safe enough, she was careful and clever; she always had been. It was one of the reasons Satoru hired her.
He led the procession towards the main range, taking a few earmuffs (and flicking a switch on the side for a comm, most didn't come with them, but these few were special) and tossing them to the two taller men. "Put them on," there wasn't a request, just an order. This was Satoru's kingdom, none had more authority than he.
Egil was just beyond the door, and keeping an eye on a pair of more rowdy men. They didn't look much like a real threat, but it wasn't too busy and he would rather do this an be on the safe side than do paperwork. He glanced over as he saw the door open out of the corner of his eye.

Keith made sure to leave the backpack with Gabe's belongings with Mina before leaving with the other two men. Donato looked like he was about to start bouncing off the walls at any second, but still found a way to appear somewhat calm.
Both the men took the earmuffs and put them on without complaint, if they were gonna be around gunshots they didn't want their ears murders. They followed Satoru to the door, both looking around as they entered. Keith hadn't been to this part of the range before, usually when he came he just stayed at the front or went to Satoru's office.
The Ookami of the two men had his hands in his pockets and tried to keep himself from turning into a big hyper mess, that just wouldn't do right now.

Satoru inclined his head to Egil, the blond returned the gesture with a curt hand sign. Everything was normal. Good. The blond probably wouldn't want to talk much with so many people around, he was quiet enough normally. The shorter Tora could respect that.
Still, there were introductions to be made. "Egil, Keith brought his friend Donut here, say hi Donut."

Donato heard his newly given nickname and looked up at the blond that came up to them. His smile perked up even bigger than before and held his hand out. "Egil, huh? Nice to meet'cha big guy! I'm Donato."
He took a quick look at the guy before he spoke again. "Sei molto carino!" There was no once of flirtation found in his voice as he spoke the foreign words, just sounded as nice as the rest of his tone, much like when he had thrown the Italian into his greeting for Satoru. Besides, he liked confusing people with what he said, made for good entertainment.
Keith, being the only other man there who would have understood what he said, just snickered a bit before going quiet. Well he certainly hadn't changed over the years.

Egil blinked and then replied, voice soft but still crackling in over the private comm line. "Jag hörde inte att?" There was a small smile, perhaps loosening him up over the simple joy of not being the only foreigner in the room.
Satoru just sighed, the only one out of the four of them to not know another language. Aside from various curses. Those he knew in a multitude of languages. "Mind speaking a language we all understand?" He quipped to the both of them.

Oooh, so he was bilingual too? Granted it was a different language, but it was still something they had in common. Donato liked this, he liked this a lot.
He looked back at Satoru and laughed. "Sorry man, told'ja it's a hobby." One at this point he couldn't stop even if he genuinely wanted to, it was wired into his system. The Italian looked back up at the blond. "You're my new best friend, ya hear?"
The inked Tora rolled his eyes, grinning a little since really he didn't wanna laugh at the moment. He looked down at Satoru. "So what're we doin'?" He asked, mainly to get his mind off of his friend's odd way of flirting.

The blond blinked again, but made no other outward sign he had received the message. This one was... odd.
Satoru shrugged. "If you want, we can either split up and Donut can go with his new best friend and you can come with me to look around. It's pretty self explanatory."
"G'nna sh'w 'ff f'r 'm?" Egil asked his boss quietly, bending just a bit to speak closer to the Tora in question. Not that it would do anything, the comm lines spoke to anyone on the frequency. Satoru shoved his head aside, but the blond and brown haired man were both smiling a bit. Old friends.

Keith and Donato watched the other two men for a second before looking back at each other, each with their own little smile. They knew good and well how that stuff went.
The olive toned man nudged Keith's arm. "I nostri fidanzati sono adorabili~" He sang.
The inked Tora chuckled and shook his head. "Asina muta…" He mumbled. 'Our boyfriends', huh? Donato was getting a little too ahead of himself here, but it was fun to watch anyway.
Still, Don would probably love a chance to hang out with Egil some, and Keith wouldn't mind spending some time with just 'Toru. The taller of the Toras looked back at Satoru. "Works for me, show me around some." He also might clue him in on the Italian's new crush.

Satoru nodded. "That settles it then," Egil could take Don, and he and Keith could wander for a bit.
The Swede glanced once more towards the once-rowdy men, but the group had begun making their way back to the entrance to leave. He had no way to decline properly.
He could feel Satoru's smug smirk. FEEL it. He gave a small nod.
Even if he didn't like the thought too much... It couldn't be that bad. Don didn't seem like he did too much listening, so he should be alright without having to say much...

Donato and Keith looked back at each other, the shorter of the two flashing a bright, excited smile and making a thumbs up from down beside his leg while the other two weren't looking. Keith just replied with a short nod while failing to hold back the small grin on his face. Jesus, he felt sorry for Egil right now.
"Alright then," The Tora began, giving Satoru a light nudge on the shoulder. "Guess we'll catch y'all later then."
Don, whose smile had calm down to that of a normal one, gave a light wave. "Sounds good to me!" Yes, now they just needed to LEAVE, he had himself a blond cutie to get with.

Satoru chuckled under his breath and went with the nudge, he got the message. Leave the Ookamis to their own devices. "This way," he said to Keith.
And like that, Egil was left with Don.
He glanced down at the smaller Ookami and forced himself to smile. This... He had no idea what this was going to be like. He only knew he was ever so slightly uncomfortable.
