Carson woke shortly after they left town. He'd gotten a few hours sleep at least. He was more recharged so to speak. He was still in the midst of waking. He heard movement and turned to look out the back window. He watched as she armed herself to the teeth. Turning around and closed his eyes again. He couldn't fall back asleep. Knowing him he wouldn't be able to even if he wanted to. It had begun...their adventure...to solve great mysteries. THough he wondered...if he liked working with her this time...would he be happy doing solo missions? He didn't like her agency but...he did like her. She was more...workable...than the others. If this went well...he might bargain that he be a freelance agent BUT that he worked with her and only her or no deal. They would have to see how things went.<br/><br/>He heard a thunk and then the door open. He shifted a bit. "I'm not sleeping now. Just resting my eyes. To allow for recharging of mana so to speak." He fell quiet for a moment. "When did you find a restroom to change?" He teased lightly. His tone making it clear he knew she slipped it on outside. "Well in any case you work it. Even...if it is kinda odd seeing you in a skirt." He said with a chuckle. "Though...I could see you like some spy in a movie...dressed to kill...in a fancy dress still kicking butt." He said with a playful laugh. "Next state over....that is hwere we find a town with a shop I told you about. I already told you...you and those cops ruined my connections with those in this state. It be tense and right now I'd rather not risk endangering them any further. I know it might seem pointless being I'm now an outcast but...its respect. I don't wish to raise waves in the ocean more than I need to...especially if not but on a wooden raft. You know?"<br/><br/>He turned towards her. Still eyes closed. "So we can't buy anything until we get to the next state. That way...they won't be able to be threatened or tortured for information. They would have none. Even if I am outcasted...those people were my family. So...I cannot just put their lives or their family lives at risk. Your team has already shown that they will stop at nothing. Well...the Warlocks...if behind this are a hellava lot worse." He felt stronger. He sat up. Stretching. "Imma just keep my eyes closed. Keep pulling mana from Gaia. Though another town be perfect for stopping for food supplies." He admitted. "We can go to any shops like I need for more gear for you and I...until the next state."
