Audrey sensed the emotions of those she was leaving behind but didn't turn back. They might not like her decisions all the time, but they knew her one and only goal was to protect them and give them back their lives. Whether they understood her reactions or not, they trusted her for this, or else they would not have stuck around. What she may lack in understanding trauma, she gained in those who stuck by her the longest. The Doctor...and Daniel. They both understood things that she would not pretend to, and she trusted them to take care of the things she could not.<br/><br/>Wandering into the trees, she had an arrow settled neatly on her bow, ready at a moment's notice to shoot. Perusing the trees this late at night was dangerous and she had to keep alert. There were small noises as she heard the Angel following behind her, but he was light on his feet, as she expected. His words to her were soft, barely audible but she caught them none-the-less. He was being careful, also knowing the dangers they surrounded themselves in while wandering the darkness.<br/><br/>"You're right to apologize..." She started off, not sparing a glance towards him as her eyes continued to study the area around them. Her footsteps were also light, though not nearly as light as the Angel. "Our camp offers safety, and the chance to rebuild their lives. If someone I allow into the camp threatens that safety....you see where I have a problem." She spoke calmly, despite her hate. She did not forget that he had pledged himself to her, and the power that would hold.<br/><br/>"I don't intend to make you leave. Your presence here, while bothering me and quite a few others, can still be useful." She stopped there, at the bottom of a large tree and turned to face him. "Angel, you know I care little for you. I distrust your kind, and with every right to....but I also know the damage that demons can do and I don't pretend that every demon is like the ones we offer sanctuary. I am sorry for the things you were put through..."<br/><br/>For a moment, there was silence between them. Audrey was not heartless, and she could understand more than anyone the emotional grief that demons could cause. Her own family, lost to the destructive wills of the demons, was a presence she longed for and one she would never have. Audrey had seen the damage done to the Angel's body, and although she had not seen the full degree of it, knew that it could only be worse underneath the clothes.<br/><br/>"That being said, your presence here is going to bring more danger. Demons will be looking for you...especially if you were with them for as long as your friend says you were...They will not like that you have escaped. That puts a target on our back as well as yours. By being here, I am offering you protection and our forces will do everything they can to protect you against them....but I'll need your strengths to protect my home and my people from those that will come looking for you."<br/><br/>Audrey looked up at that moment and pointed to a small platform that was built in the tree above their head. "This is a sentry station. We have five of them. There are two here in the South...this one, and one by the water. Then, two at the opposite edges of the forest and one underground in the tunnels. We always have two," she held up two fingers, "people watching each station at any time. We lookout for any dangers. Demons, wild animals, or<i>more...</i>"<br/><br/>Climbing up the boards latched to the tree, she smiled to the two sentry workers. "Boys, this is Remiel. He's going to be trained for Sentry duty. I want you to take him through the duties you have each night. Show him what to do." She paused and looked over the two. "He is under the protection of this camp, and therefore is also subject to our rules. He will not harm you..."here she paused and looked to Remiel. "Or he'll have me to deal with."
