<div style="text-align: center">《 Rebel 》<br/>
Location:<i> Romantic little apocalypse KOA cabin</i><br/>
Addressing:<i> Rachel</i>​</div><br/>If this was a 'normal' day and he was feeling like himself, Rebel would have teased her about trying to get him onto the bed on the first day. But this was not a normal day, and he was feeling like his soul had been ripped out, run through the shredder, and dipped into Korean hot sauce to be eaten raw, wrapped in a Romaine leaf and followed with cold soju.<br/><br/>Rebel sat on the bed like an old man, easing himself onto the mattress as if at any moment his bones might snap or his ligaments might give. He was starting to feel the deep ache that had come from those brief scuffles. On top of it all, he was hungry.<br/><br/>But he didn't have any right to complain. Rebel would return to Abendblume and he knew that there were provisions in the room he shared with Sou.<i>Had </i>shared with Sou.<br/><br/>He looked at Rachel out of the corner of his eyes when she thanked God. "Is that just a saying to you, or do you still believe in Him?" he asked, watching her extract a small foil bubble sheet of Tylenol.<br/><br/>"I've swallowed worse today," he said, extending his palm to accept the medicine. He popped the pills into his mouth and swallowed, flinching at the dryness trying to cling to his throat.<br/><br/>"Make sure Armando doesn't start a fire outside; it'll draw the dead," he cautioned. Rebel reached over to the pillow, flat as it was, and fluffed it before beginning to lay down. "If you go back outside," his voice was getting drowsy, "take my gun. It's point and shoot." He motioned towards the bench where a Glock sat in its IWB holster, two magazines in a separate one meant to be worn on the opposite hip. The safety was in the trigger and between your ears, not a switch to flip on the side of the body.<br/><br/>Rebel groaned lightly as he laid sideways, then began to straighten a leg on the mattress, the other bent over the bed and resting on the floor. He felt like he just wanted to sleep.
