∞ 49: After the mission [action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Turn down a few torches. We'll rest here for now.

[Albert's voice echoes as he calls out to the rest of the group to stop. It's been a steady walk away from the warehouse even though they had been told by their Malnosso co-conspirators to leave the tunnels quickly. Extinguishing several torches, as they had been every time they rested, would help keep the amount of smoke down.

He takes out one of the sunstones that Sigmund had brought along, activating it and taking a seat against one wall. He then pulls out a notebook and begins writing, keeping an eye on the others moving around in the semidarkness.

Really, the silence following their success was rather unsettling.]

Knew I could count on you for that.

Hey, nothing wrong with being a little predictable, riiiiiight?

[perplexme]

Iiiii'm not sure about that.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? And what makes you say that, I wonder?

[perplexme]

Guess you'll have to keep wondering.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Aww, not feeling up to telling me?

[perplexme]

Nah, it's more fun this way.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Hah. You noticed?

[perplexme]

I picked up on a few things.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

I guess I can't really fault you for that.

[perplexme]

Technically you could, but you won't.

We got a lot done down here.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Enh, can't, won't, same thing.

Yeah. Now we've just gotta hope it's enough.

[perplexme]

Guess we'll know soon enough. Wonder what's happening up at the village.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Weeeeell, we'll know when we get there. In the meantime let's just work on getting out of here.

[perplexme]

Fair enough.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

You worried about something?

[perplexme]

No...not that. I'm just thinking.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

About...?

[perplexme]

Doesn't matter.

Anyway, what are you doing besides bothering me?

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Doesn't matter.

[perplexme]

[rolls his eyes a bit and moves to sit on the ground] Of course not.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

You expected anything different?

[perplexme]

I've learned to know better.

[gravity-splode.livejournal.com]

Most people do, kid. Most people do.

[perplexme]

Heh.

Hey Xigbar, lemme run something by you?
