Wouldn't it attract more creatures?"</span>Karra asked worriedly, nibbling on her thumb. It was a bad habit she had been trying to break, but when she was nervous she couldn't help it. The explosives had been her idea, but with Tania's observation, she had begun to second guess herself.<span style="color: #BF0000"> "I think we should try to set up some kind of barrier to keep whatever creatures out, if possible. I know that the animals Gleywine has spoken of are monstorous, but we have to try and keep them from breeching a certain point, or our explosives will go to waste. I'm just not sure how we can do that without alerting the rescue party that they should watch out for traps...then again, surely they wouldn't be so stupid as to think we wouldn't set them..."</span>she turned to Gleywine,<span style="color: #BF0000"> "would they?" </span>Sam had joined the group by then,<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #0080FF">"Even if they did know to look for traps, we would still be alerted if we set up some sort of barrier and we could check the cams anyway," </span></span>he assured her. Karra tried not to let her irritation show at Sam's words. He was right, but she was still aggravated with him and didn't want him to be right about anything. She took a step away from him, as if to let him in the circle of people, but really more so to put some distance between them.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF0000">"Okay, so what about the Princess? Say we have to run, what are we going to do with her? She's sedated and she isn't going to be coherent enough to go on the run if need be. It's going to be a rather large burden..."</span>Karra said. Geek seemed to give her a dirty look, but she ignored it. He could like Freya all he wanted, but regardless their people came first. She was a bargaining chip, granted one Karra felt very badly for and wanted to help, but nonetheless a bargaining chip. The girl was, admittedly, worth more alive than dead--but they could just as easily hand her over to the rescue party and come back for her at a later time if need be. Hell, Karra would go after her herself if she had to, but they couldn't risk their people. They were already in a dangerous situation in a shittastic world.<br/><br/>Lilly had chosen that time to walk up and Sam tried not to look upset by it, not wanting to make the little girl feel bad.<span style="color: #00FFFF"><span style="font-style: italic">"There's a pwen-cess here?"</span></span>she asked excitedly. Karra took a breath and kneeled down next to Lilly,<span style="color: #BF0000">"Well, only sort of. She isn't like the kind of Princesses you hear about in fairytales, sweetpea--"</span>Karra paused, trying to figure out how to word it as Lilly looked at her expectantly. Karra was against letting Lilly believe that Princess Freya was an actual princess, because it could spell trouble for all of them. If Lilly started to look up to Freya, and Freya began to turn back into the Princess they had met--well, she might use Lilly against them in some way and trick the poor girl into doing all the wrong things.<span style="color: #BF0000">"She's just someone who needs a lot of help and thinks that she should be treated like a princess is all. Don't go near her, alright, Lilly?"</span>Karra said gently. Lilly nodded her head, somewhat understanding what Karra was trying to say. Her mom called women Princess when they were being bratty, so maybe this woman was bratty too. Karra could only hope Lilly listened to her and stayed away from Freya. She worried greatly about what Freya might do if she felt backed into a corner and the little girl was nearby. There were too many what if scenarios running through Karra's head and she felt a little over whelmed.<br/><br/>Sam picked up Lilly, looking at her in the eyes,<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #0080FF"> "Lilly, I want you to stay in your sit until I come for you, okay? I need to talk to these people and I can't do that with you here, okay?"</span></span>he said firmly. Lilly frowned some, but nodded.<span style="color: #40FFFF"><span style="font-style: italic"> "Otay..."</span></span>Sam took her back to the seat and Karra stood. She wished she had explained things better to Lilly, but her medication was making it hard to think of the right words. She could react just fine, come up with ideas just fine--expressing those ideas? Not so much.
