<div align="center"><strong>Phaerbryn  </strong> and <strong>Viviana</strong></div>Bryn smirks at the situation unfolding in the front seat. She'd snicker and punch Kyle in the shoulder if they were in more comfortable company. Funny how Bryn felt more at home and comfortable with hard asses in the CIA and army than with these fairly sincere and nice people of this land.<br/><br/>It took all she could do to not snicker aloud at Tiagar's formal statement.<br/><br/>"Sure, Man," Bryn responded. "Knock yourself out. Hop on in. Anyone else comin?"<br/><br/>Vivi just couldn't help herself any longer.<br/><br/>"Now listen here, Lady. Lacking civility is one thing, but asking others to do physical harm to themselves is just going too far!"<br/><br/>Bryn's face went from blank at the harash words to an actual crack of laughter, finally understanding what Viviana was talking about.<br/><br/>"Calm down there, Princess. I wasn't actually telling Tiagar here to knock himself out. It's just a figure of speech in our world. It means to 'go ahead' and do whatever you want."<br/><br/>Viviana's face turned a light mauve, slightly embarassed at her outburst after learning the actual meaning of this phrase. Bryn was still laughing when she roughly patted Viviana on the shoulder. She hopped into her jeep, pulled out a clove, lit it, and took a long slow draw off the other end. The sweet scent of cloves filled the air and she turned the volume on the stereo to a not so ear splitting level. "This is War" by 30 Seconds to Mars filled the air.<br/><br/><div align="center">"A warning to the people<br/>The good and the evil<br/>This is war<br/>To the soldier, the civillian<br/>The martyr, the victim<br/>This is war<br/><br/>It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie<br/>The moment to live and the moment to die<br/>The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight<br/><br/>To the right, to the left<br/>We will fight to the death<br/>To the Edge of the Earth<br/>It's a brave new world from the last to the first..."</div><br/><div align="center"><strong>Janet</strong></div><br/>Janet is confused and doesn't understand his message but she relays it to James anyway. She hops in the truck and revs it to life. She makes her way back the way in which they'd come. She found the road once more and rolled the window down only enough to wave at the office at the barricade. He knew Janet and let her pass without a hitch but stood dumbfounded, staring after her at the random arrows poking out of the truck and the smashed windshield.
