Being shoved so suddenly had given Karin a few bruises on her hands. it stung, but Karin wouldn't allow herself to dwell on it as she usually would have done; not when almost everyone around her were injured in some way or another. Toby had come over immediately to check if she was okay, but he didn't utter a single word and kept a concentrated gaze on the man and woman as he helped her to her feet. The rest of the people nearby still stood and stared at the scene in silence as if it was a movie.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the injured woman returned her attention to Karin again. She turned her head towards her a mouthed a word - run? - before the man who had arrived rose to his feet, shifting the woman onto his back.<br/>"Silver told you to run. Your priority is to get you and other civilians out of here. Go. Or you will die." he said, facing the tree.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">God, he doesn't even sound alive.</span>Karin thought as the man turned and walked towards her.<br/>"Woman with priority one has mere moments to take her and other civilians to run away. No more warnings. Silver is no longer your priority," he continued.<br/>Karin took a step back; the man frightened her with his robotic speech. She didn't like what he was saying, she didn't quite understand. Silver had to be the woman's name. Mere moments to run away? Why? Was it a threat or was the area dangerous?<br/>"I-- But, uh... Are you bringing... Silver?... to a, uh, hospital or something? She's injured," she said, immediately regretting her words.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">And where exactly would he find a working hospital, stupid?</span>, she thought mentally slapping herself.<br/>"We understand," Toby interrupted, taking Karin's hand and squeezing it gently.<br/>She stared at him in bewilderment. "No we don't?" she protested.<br/>"Just roll with it for now, I bet he's much more capable of taking care of that woman than you are," he said in an undertone. "At any rate I wouldn't question that guy," he continued as if the man and woman weren't even there anymore, despite he still looked at them.<br/>Karin frowned, slightly hurt, and opened her mouth to retort, but Toby cut her short in a loud voice addressed to the rest of the people gathered around them.<br/>"This guy's telling us to move our asses outta here, collect your stuff if you got any and let's go somewhere we can get supplies, we're gonna need it!"
