At Viktor’s dismissal of the situation, Inga opened her mouth to protest, but her voice died on the way to her mouth. Something in the way his face was set told her not to push it. She might think it would be better for them to try and resolve the situation- and maybe part of her just wanted to see what would happen- but Viktor’s face was one of irritated exhaustion that reminded her of when her parents were pushed too hard by her and the rest of their family. On some days when she was especially petulant she might prod them into a full blown argument, but it wasn’t something she would try now- especially not with Viktor, who, even though he had saved her life multiple times, she barely knew. She swallowed her comment and allowed herself to be ushered inside.<br/><br/>Her entrance at the front of the group immediately put her at the center of attention, and Inga immediately remembered all of her oddities. Even back in that first village, Inga had felt out of place- here it was even worse. Children were clearly an unusual sight. She swallowed and prepared to make a face, when Viktor entered behind them, and the group’s focus pulled away from her. Silently grateful, Inga tried to melt back into the group, although she felt like that was a lost cause at this point. Still, with the rest of the group, she followed Viktor to his room in the base.<br/><br/>Inga took in the room silently. It was of bigger size than she would have expected, although she wasn’t quite sure why- but she could still picture Viktor living here. Unsure of where she should be, Inga stood in the middle of the room, glancing all around.<br/><br/><br/>Outside the base, Magpie snorted lightly at the wolf man’s stilted pleas. His hand slipping into his pocket was subtle from a distance, but hopefully the Stalkers weren’t dense enough to miss it at closer range. She didn’t move her head when Darina spoke up, but she listened to her, then shrugged slowly. “Fair enough,” she said, slinging her gun back over her shoulder. “I warned you all, now you can deal with whatever trouble he’s bringing here.” She turned away, and after a few moments Tiny turned to follow.<br/><br/>As she walked away towards the entrance, though, Magpie was surprised to see Rock Hammer approach the group, with an apparent attempt at calming the situation. For some reason, the giant meat wearing man did not strike her as a grand choice for a peacekeeper, but she admired the attempt, bizarre as it may be. She nodded her head at it, then said to Darina, “you going to help out with him? You’re one of the few people I’ve seen who willingly spend time around him, for whatever reason.” Magpie didn’t want anything to do with him, frankly- he seemed to be an intriguing mystery, and in her experience investigating those led to personal harm without too much reward. She continued her walk towards the base entrance, curious in spite of herself to see what was inside.
