Darion himself couldn't help but grin at the reply he got from the most serious seeming member of the team.  And a decent reaction at that too.  The scars got no reaction from him other than the grin when he finally got to see her face through the breather.  Not bad to look at at all.<span style="color: DarkRed">“The next time we are around a bar, it's a date.”</span>he replied to her first comment before his grin went devilish.<span style="color: DarkRed">“You do have a point there, but then again I would definitely return the favor.”</span><br/><br/>The levity lasted in his face until he noted the wandering and worried look n her eyes and he heard Andrea's breathing increase shortly.  He waited until she helped him up and they began moving.<span style="color: DarkRed">“Those pills, keep them inside your armor and don't pull them out unless absolutely necessary, and don't even think about taking one yourself.  I am pretty sure you know this, but we cannot spare the hindrance that it would make out of the one who took them.”</span>he said, completely seriously, but quiet enough so that only he and Andrea could hear it.<br/><br/>Of course that was the last of the levity that was likely to happen as he watched Doc work on the kid that had been brought in by this stranded girl.  Of course she didn't answer the question heh ad directed at her had been ignored apparently with one of her own.  Ok, he wouldn't give the truth, at least not the whole truth.<span style="color: DarkRed">“We are looking for a good location for a safe base of operations.  There weren't supposed to be any locust here.”</span>he answered the girl, not bothering to look at Doc while she treated the kid.  He could worry about him later, the problem was the stranded girl.<span style="color: DarkRed">“So now can we get a name?”</span><br/><br/>The call down from Frost that there were confirmed locust in the area Darion groaned a bit.  Their luck was running out.<span style="color: DarkRed">“Right, Frost get back down here, I think there should be some frags around here somewhere, I know I used to have 2 when we came, they are laying around here somewhere.  See if you can rig them to bring the roof and the raven down on the grubs when they get here.”</span>he said into his comms, doing his best not to lean all his weight on Andrea.<span style="color: DarkRed">“Jenny, get the bot out of it's cradle in the back of the raven bay.  I don't know if it still works after that crash, but we will need it to get the doors on location open.”</span>he said, giving out orders for everyone to get busy.<br/><br/><span style="color: DarkRed">“with the grubs on the way, we need to be gone five minutes ago.  Grab what you can and move out to the buildings towards the road to base.”</span>that last order came before he looked over towards Jess, and then the kid.<span style="color: DarkRed">“Doc, the kid safe to be moved?  Most of us aren't in the best shape for direct combat.  I'd rather not find out how bad we are.”</span>As he said that, Darion took his arm back from Andrea and moved away slowly at first, making sure to keep his hand over his wound so it didn't open back up.  He was slow moving at first, and every muscle and bruise seemed to hurt, but he was slowly moving faster.<span style="color: DarkRed">“Yeah, time to go.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
