<i>Location: At the shuttle pickup location<br/>
Addressing: Ezra</i>​</div><br/>Anise stared at Kennedy, wondering what there could possibly be left to say. The idea of doing what Kennedy had been assigned made her uneasy. She'd wanted to get away from Abendblume. They hadn't established strong connections with anyone really, but she supposed they were all in the same boat. Some without a sibling to rely on, and she worried for those that might go it alone. It would be better if they tried to stay together.<br/><br/>"No," the guard said, shaking his head at the twins adamantly. He'd already been annoyed with Armando's instruction. It wasn't Kennedy job to order other people around, and the carriage wasn't going to be accommodating both twins for return trips. "One of you. Can't be doing this bullshit, taking you all back and forth so you can provide a security blanket. We'll be driving back and forth all day at that rate."<br/><br/>He looked back to the driver, arms crossed, resolute.<br/><br/>"So pick, or you can both stay at the gate and fucking wait."<br/><br/>Anise let out a deep breath.<br/><br/>"One person should stay here, to help people leaving Abendblune. Explain that we're trying to keep everyone together. Another should stay with those dropped off, at the gate, to try and help them find their things." Who would stay and who would go? "What do you think?" It meant that they would have to separate, and she wasn't sure she wanted to do that, but who better than her brother to try to direct some of this chaos? Deeply, she wanted to make herself useful in some way as well, even if it was simply helping people find their shoes and other belongings.
