Lyn turned around quickly. “Oh, that’s nice of you, but I’m sure we don’t need to—“
“Sure.” Sef cut her off. “We’ll stay with you.” She looked at Lyn, giving a pointed look before looking back at the man and the child. “We won’t stay too long.”
A smile grew on Ophelias face "oh nice! We were going into the city to search for things we cant grow at home" she says before looking up to her dad "can they come with us?" she asks, hoping he would say yes.
Cass nods "yeah sure why not. you guys looking for anything specific?" he asks them, deciding they could help each other out. Its the least they can do.
He sighed softly,
"Jez, please give her the first aid. You have been apart of a group and we can always get more on the way back to the group. She needs it for a friend of hers. Trust me on this."
He spoke calmly, his voice didn't shake as he didn't really seem all that afraid.
Tbh he was just good at staying calm in bad situations.
He was very scared.
He stared at Jez, "I'm fine alright?"
(you guys started back? rip. Ill be on tomorrow.)
Lyn couldn’t help but stop protesting when she saw the girl’s face. At least they wouldn’t be a burden on her.
“Food,” Sef said immediately. “But, I guess we have that taken care of…” she glanced at Lyn, who shrugged.
“First aid supplies too,” Lyn continued. “And, um. Other things.”
“Just say it, amiga,” Sef chuckled. “Who cares, at this point?”
Lyn just sighed. “Female… products.”
Sef laughed, and Lyn crossed her arms over her chest. “There’s a child here, Sef!”
She didn’t stop laughing, but it quieted a bit. ”A criança vai aprender.”
(you guys started back? rip. Ill be on tomorrow.)
(yeah sorry we waiting for you for a little bit. you can join back in if youd like)
Jez' eyes shot towards Evan, his breath stopping for a second "fine" he says, Evan having calmed him down.
He hesitates, but lowers the gun.
Jesse keeps the gun up, looking up at Jez "drop ze gun" she says. which Jez does so. He crouches down and sets in on the concrete floor.
"kick it over" she demands.
As if this were a game of Simon says, he does exactly what she tells him to do. Fearing for his new friends life.
Jesse leans over and picks up the gun, with great pain as she did. She felt as if she were about to pass out from blood loss, lack of water and the hit she took to the head earlier.
Holstering her own gun, she steps back from the boys.
"lead me to your camp." she demans once again.
Jez goes to protest, not wanting to lead either of them back to Gus or Jasper, caring for them too much.
"you try anything. i have a team of 20 back there. all armed and dangerous." he lies.
_
Cass nods "oh..okay yeah" he says calmly, looking around the area. He's had a wife before so he wasnt phased by this one bit. Ophelia on the other hand….
'Cassie what are feminine products?" Fia asks her dad.
His brows furrow and he pinches the bridge of his nose. "its..uh" he looks back up to the girls then back to his daughter "ill tell you when youre older. for now lets go ahead and head to the border of the city okay?" he says, to both the girls and Ophelia.
(I mean, jaspers plenty dangerous ;))
Josefine snorted. Lyn shot her a glare, and that shut her up, though she still smiled amusedly.
”Tudo bem. We can keep going, right?”
Lyn nodded, sighing as she did so. “Yeah, let’s go.”
(Cassius would be the type of guy to get his wife some emergency pads at the grocery store)
(Oh he totally did XD)
Cassius gestured towards the city "its just up here if we follow the river" he looks back to the girls "were you guys following the stream to find the city as well?" he asks as him and Fia head up the river. Half of him thought it would be better to simply go back to their farm house to safety. Have a nice dinner and talk to them about where they came from and what there goal was in this world. Though he had no doubts there only goal was to survive.
(hey i believe its your turn to reply Denki?)
(Yes, sorry I'm with family;;)

Evan stayed still, but his eyes reflected how much he trusted Jez. He had every faith in Jez that he would make it out of this situation alive, and if he didn't well he would see his family again.
That wasn't such a bad thing.
He sighed softly, "you won't make it far without proper help. You need rest."
He spoke softly, "I saw your head bleeding earlier, you might have a concussion."
There wasn't an inch of agressive or passive agressive tone in his voice.
Only genuine concern she might pass out and hit her head again, worse she may die.
He tilted his head at Jez, why was Jez lying? Did he seriously have 20 people in his group?
"Oh! Tuna! I need to check on my cat!" He said with a slight bit of panic.
(BRUH EVAN OMG he really was just like "eh its okay ill see my fam again" I CHOKED ON MY DRINK)
(i love him XD)
Jez glares hard at Jesse, as if he was challenging her to call his bluff. His heart beating 110mph, scared she would know he was lying.
Jesse on the other hand, didn't fully believe him. But she couldn't afford to not believe him.
"fine" she says, pissed off things weren't going her way.
her head whipped to Evan "a cat?" she asks, genuinely confused. "and you do not eat?" she asks, as if she was wondering why he wouldn't have already eaten his cat in this day and age.
hm. he must have plenty of food where he comes from he doesn't need to eat it…and wait why Tuna? is that a name? does he have Tuna? i like tuna she thought to herself, her mind wandering off to something definitely not important
Jez coughed "excuse me? you mean eat the cat?" he asks
She looks down at him "and the tuna" she asks
Evan looked so offended at the mention of eating his cat. He huffed slightly agitated as this was the second time someone had said something.
"The cats name is tuna, and I would never eat her. She's kept me sane after being alone for so long and loosing everyone I hold dear."
He got up from where he was and stood to stare down Jess.
"If you try and eat my cat we will have an issue."
He didn't seem like he was the least bit joking. He was serious, and his vibe was different from him being calm.
"Now.if you will excuse me I will be getting my cat."
He moved to leave.
(Thats my bad, I was on spring break and didn't tell yall)
(Oh he totally did XD)
Cassius gestured towards the city "its just up here if we follow the river" he looks back to the girls "were you guys following the stream to find the city as well?" he asks as him and Fia head up the river. Half of him thought it would be better to simply go back to their farm house to safety. Have a nice dinner and talk to them about where they came from and what there goal was in this world. Though he had no doubts there only goal was to survive.
They nodded, beginning to follow them along. “We’ve been following it for about two miles or so now,” Sef said, gesturing back behind them.
A breeze picked up, taking the girls’ hair with it. Lyn breathed in, finding the strength to keep going. Gradually, they had grown tired as they traveled, and they had planned to stop soon, but now perhaps it wouldn’t be too bad to keep going, when they were with others.
Elodie sat against a wall, the stitch between her ribs causing her to breathe slowly and harshly.
She closed her eyes, tilting her head back until it too, touched the wall.
Moths,
Fireflies,
Moonlight,
Clementine's laugh,
the dark filled with humid summer heat.
Everything was so hazy feeling, as if she were living in a memory.
Her fingers tips were tingling, lightly.
(so…where does my peoples be?)
(I'm here at last, sorry for the wait! Jacen, I think June and Darius are both with Gus and Jasper, who are in the hideout and talking to Elodie. I'm posting Gus's response now ^^)
Elodie followed quietly, keeping her head down, she sat down, cross legged and kept her eyes away from everyone, when she first met these people she had confidence they were trust her but the way the girl; Jasper reacted was making her feel like a misfit for sure. Though she couldn't really blame them, they were scared and she was a stranger, though she was nice she was still a stranger.
"I think so but i'm not sure, I was asleep when she left blood loss makes you very tired apparently." She said with a soft smile, her hands resting in her lap.
Gus nodded distractedly, concern for Jez making it hard to focus. "It sure do," he said, taking some bandages out of his backpack. "I'd say you lost a good bucket or two o' blood, judgin' by how you're lookin' right now." Realizing that she was starting to drift into unconsciousness, he quickly reached out and shook her shoulder a little. "Hey, try t' stay awake, okay? We'd better changes th' bandages on your leg, an' I got more questions for ya."
