[i]Her first thought was define services, just before mild concern and the focus of her training took over. She could hear soldiers, boots on the road, exosuits and bandoliers clinking together. The mercenaries were patrolling. This could go two ways, either hostilely if they started something, or calmly if they simply carried on.[/i]

If you need emotional help or have other mind-related issues, you can call me. Now, play along. I’ll speak for you if they start asking questions.^ *He let go of her hand and pulled out a slip of paper. He unfolded it to reveal a map of Dojoville and the Dojo and scratched his head in confusion.* ^Hmm... Maybe it’s this way?.. The training facility shouldn’t be too far from here...^ *He traced a claw up a road on the map.*
-
[i]Training facility? She was intrigued and confused, but anything to keep her away from the mercenaries. She didn’t want them to have any reason to be suspicious of her, and so she nodded after he traced out the path. As they stood looking at the map, they could hear the soldiers getting closer, along with the sound of what was probably heavy armor.[/i]
-
*He raised his head and peered around, his eyes casually passing by the soldiers. He pointed in a direction which wasn’t toward the training facility, nor was it directly away from the soldiers either. If they just started to quickly walk in the opposite direction then it could arouse suspicion.* ^Okay, it must be this way then...^ *He began to walk while still holding the map, making sure he didn’t start moving without her.*
-
[i]She followed him in a manner completely betraying the worry in her mind. She walked confidently and without concern for them, sticking with him. The soldiers, who were accompanied by what appeared to be an infantry fighting vehicle, continued down the street with minimal concern for the two armored individuals walking away. They moved with caution and concern, scanning for potential ambush points, IED hiding spots, and any sort of trap in their way as they went.[/i]
-
*He kept going until they were a good distance down the street before stopping.* ^And there we go.^
-
[i]She nodded once they were out of the way of the mercenaries, glad that they were not in the slightest interested in her.[/i]

Edited by Skatch142: 2/5/2018 1:47:56 AM^Now that they’re gone, back to what we were talking about?^ *I folded the map back up and pocketed it.*
-
[i]Something about a training facility? Where it was? Others with the armor Alice had given her?[/i]
-
*He snapped his fingers.* ^The training facility was part of the act, but if you actually want to know how to get there I can show you. But no, I was talking about my abilities and services.^
-
[i]Talking right now about things probably wasn’t the best... she wasn’t quite alright even after she’d discussed it with Alice, but Alice hadn’t seemed to grasp the full scope of what she was guilty of. Maybe that was just how these things worked... you suffered alone and nobody would really understand it. Rachael huffed, trying to drive those thoughts away.[/i]
-
^You don’t have to suffer alone, y’know. That’s not the way it works with me. If you don’t want to though, you don’t have to.^
-
[i]Yeah? Well maybe it was better that way. That was what she’d been taught by Maelstrom and Roland... internalize suffering and don’t show pain. She’d had that beaten into her so many times she couldn’t help it.[/i]
-
^My cousin tried the same thing. She’s a six foot tall tiger who could lift me up with one hand. Lords, she was a mess when she tried to deal with her pain and regret on her own... I’m not forcing you into anything, it’s just an offer. Now, let’s get you to the training facility.^ *He began to lead her toward a large building in the distance.*
-
[i]She followed, set for the time being in her ways. She did not want to get into this now.[/i]
-
*He remained silent as he lead her, respecting Rachael’s decision. He still held her wrist though in case she wanted to talk about something else.*
