Nobody spoke to her and she didn't bother to try. Sober since they left the States, she looked like she was about ready to climb the walls. Her own identifiers were tied into her boots, just like Neil taught her, but she wore his dog tags around her neck. She held something tight in one hand and was looking for Savaak, her only real "friend" out here. Everybody else took a backburner... Savaak was the only one she had formed any kind of powerful bond with, even if that was, in a way, a rivalry.

Yay! The blonde looks thoughtful, but not lost in her own world. She catches sight of Leif and offers the girl a smile and a small wave. "Hey, Leif. What's up?" Small talk, another yay. But the girl did look like she was ready to go nuts. « Last Edit: Mar 4, 2016 14:02:17 GMT -6 by Savaak Puckett » Back to Top   Leif Adamson Agent In the Land of Gods and Monsters.

"Walk with me?" She asked, tossing her head towards the exit to the barracks.

Savaak raises a brow but smiles and nods, falling in line beside Leif, adjusting to life at this new base and now wondering what really is on the other girl's mind. She's not going out of her way to suggest there isn't something. Back to Top   Leif Adamson Agent In the Land of Gods and Monsters.

She pulled out her trusty pack of cigarettes, pulling one out with her teeth. "Heard you got busted up," she murmured, offering the pack to the girl out of proper behavior rather than thinking she'd actually take one.

She offers Leif a polite smile and a tiny shake of her head, offering no other acknowledgement to the offered cigarette. She stretches, lifting her arms overhead once they are clear of people as her fingers stretch towards the sky. "It wasn't pleasant, but I'm still alive."

"Agreed. You certainly know how to keep things interesting, Leif." She resists the urge to wrinkle her nose at the scent of tobacco. "Besides, I'm not dying that easily."

Because I might end up kicking your ass if you die." In her free hand, she rubbed the golden necklace between her fingers. Next to the little charm of the sun and the moon, she had attached one of her own dog tags. "So, hey. Here." She unceremoniously handed the necklace over. "Its... something my brother used to do. Always said it was good luck. Meant we'd see each other again, you know?"

"As long as I get to do the same to you." Her gaze goes to the glimmer of gold in the sunlight, not assuming this is for her at all until she sees the little sun charm. She takes it with grace, letting a single fingertip lightly graze over the dog tag as she reads the name. Awkward as the gift was, it meant a lot to her. A lot of her friends had disappeared lately or were busy with their own lives. Leif may be someone she met only a few weeks ago, but it was nice. "Thanks, Leiflet." Her hands gently curl around the necklace, clasping it against her palm. They'd never really actually talked, and she can't miss the past tense reference. Not to mention, you don't give your dog tags to just anyone. "When we both make it back, I'll get us a bottle or two of something, and not the cheap stuff, either."

She was glad Savaak didn't make it any more awkward than it had to be. "We'll have a nice little coming home party. The roof is awesome for that."

Girl certainly had her fair share of mischief. Not that it was a bad thing, but at the same time, drugs and alcohol both? It explained her behavior now.

She seems thoughtful rather than doubt her. The words remind her of her experience in the time warp a couple weeks ago. She'd made being boiled alive from the inside look good, then. "It won't last forever, and some people are more perceptive than others." Another pause. "What made you start?" Back to Top   Leif Adamson Agent In the Land of Gods and Monsters.
