I awaken and move to the bathroom to gather into my clothing. They should be wet still in spots but seem surprisingly dry for hanging indoors overnight. I press the clothes close to my face and breathe in the scent of forest still lingering within the clothing. After getting dressed, I work my way back to the kitchen to fix some bacon for breakfast and Tilk is standing in the kitchen with a turkey leg, his deep red eyes seem to carry so much thought within them as he tears at the meat. There’s a large hilt wrapped in crimson leather with two feet of thick black blade peaking above his shoulder, he must be carrying a massive weapon on his back with a hilt of that size. I nod at him but work around the kitchen in silence around him.
Slowly, more people begin making their way in to the kitchen. Thalia enters and presses a button that generates a light breakfast for her. Chaud enters the room holding a near empty glass of scotch in his hands. Eva enters the room and pushes the button over and over again generating multiple loaves of bread which she stuffs into her pockets as though she might be storing up to never find food again. Ravager slinks through the room toward the garage door and is gone. I guess he is ready to get moving this morning.
Without really saying much of anything, we all start to pour into the SUV together. Ravager under the backseat, I’m sitting by Tilk, Thalia and Eva sit together in the front while Chaud is riding his motorcycle out from the home base. After what feels to be half an hour in the SUV, I decide to make this ride more difficult for them than it needs to be.
“I have to pee,” I announce.
