Location: <i>KOA cabin</i><br/>
Addressing: <i>Rachel</i>​</div><br/>Rebel felt that Rachel denied knowing anything about Sou's activities much too quickly. It felt evasive; a way of distancing herself from being guilty by association. Or maybe he was reading too much into a tired woman's response – he didn't know.<br/><br/>He frowned at her request. Dark eyes studied her, trying to extrapolate whether her question would truly be honest, or if she was trying to put him off guard. When Anise arrived, his attention shifted. Water became the focus of his thoughts. He felt the parched paper of his throat screaming for moisture; his body felt drained of all its reserves.<br/><br/>Still…he hadn't seen Rachel take a drink or eat either. Though the tip of his tongue parted the line of his lips, he took the offered jug and hesitated. He could feel the warmth in the plastic and the weight of the water. He longed for a drink. Yet…<br/><br/>Her question brought a flash of pain and anger to his eyes. Rebel glanced away, blinking. "Here, you have some first," he offered, voice thick with restrained emotion. His arm extended to offer the jug back to her as he collected his answer and pulled in his thoughts.<br/><br/>Rebel's jaw tightened momentarily, then he spoke. "I don't know. She left with someone from another community," he blinked, his eyes shifted from looking away to looking at Rachel. "Apparently she was planning to leave for a while." It wasn't completely fabricated; if she was planning an attack on Abendblume there would be no alternative for her afterwards but to leave, not unless they had thought they could take over the community and remain.
