Elin laughed, ":sweden: Psh, okay."
Elin gave a real smile, then she playfully jabbed Anne back.
She looked slightly relieved and rubbed the place where Elin had jabbed her. The tank had stopped on its place now and the blond turned her eyes to look around. The old rubble of buildings were protecting the remote area where the tank was, but it was easy to observe it in distance. Unease went through her.
:sweden: "Now that you feel better, we should have a campfire", Anne suggested suddenly and put her hands together, "I don't think it's necessary to scout tonight. The locals wouldn't probably be too happy about it."
She should ask from Amelia about it.
The thought of campfire got Anne way too excited though.
:sweden: "We haven't had any proper time as a team. You know the saying, keep your friends close and your enemies closer -actually, that doesn't really fit in this case. But you know what I mean."
Axel seemed content to observe the pep talk for a moment. He didn't stop watching Anne.
Anne glanced to look Axel. She waved to him.
:sweden: "Interested of a campfire?"
With the tank now parked Jack sidled back up to the gate guards and asked in a low whisper, ":scotland: Did something happen since the last time I can through?"
Quietly he repeated the phrase 'pleasedon'tsayhags, please don't say hags... There's already issue enough up North with them....' in his head
The man from the gates had walked close to Bearnas, who had been looking the tank with a rather suspicious but also curious look. She turned to Jack slowly and looked little sorrowful.
:scotland: "...we've lost people. More than normally - maybe in a full or half year one dies, but this is different thing."
The man didn't want to speak up, so Bearnas let her arms fall down and inhaled to continue.
:scotland: "Normally it's easy to keep monsters out. Even when the warding doesn't work on them, we have a good system to keep them out."
She shrugged in defeat and took few steps closer to Jack.
:scotland: "But then night guards and people out started to disappear. Even poor Seath disappeared and never came back. You know, the guy who was the druid apprentice", she rambled and glanced the man that stared the stain on the tank like it was the most fascinating thing ever.
:scotland: "There's something unpleasant out there that the warding won't protect from. Leaving strangers on their own luck is like abandoning a brother."
