(Sorry for being so fekkin late DX My bad!)

Rachel didn't know how to use a gun, really.

She knew that if you point it at people and make them [i]think[/i] you know how to use one, they get scared. This works well on bad people (not "bad guys", but bad people) who try to hurt you, Rachel knew. Of course, she knew how to pull the trigger, and even reload! However actually handling a gun was another thing entirely. She didn't really know how to aim, check or fix jams, turn the safety on and off or even take a stable firing position. 

She really would be screwed if she didn't get help, not that she knew this.

"I-it's OK... You look nice, s-so I won't hurt you..." She says in the softest, calmest voice she could muster - something she found incredibly difficult due to her lack of experience with high tension situations. She knew how to be a good person, though. That much was obvious. "My name is... R-Rachel. Are you exploring...?" She asks in a quiet voice.

She still hasn't lowered the gun.
It almost looks like she's cowering, though it's hard to really tell how she's feeling.

Though Jessica's wild guess got one thing right: Rachel was scared.

The stranger's eyes plead with Rachel to be nice, however Rachel was told many times not to be nice until you know the other person is nice. Listen to their voice. Hear how they talk. Compare it to mama and favva's. Does it sound similar? Not in terms of sound, but the way they speak; does it sound kind?

Well... Rachel would only know if she listened to Jessica some more.
