<div class="floatleft">(http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Blondes/ts1-1.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Abigail "Abby" Holden<br/><strong>Species:</strong>Human/Slayer<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Redemption<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>River, Anyala, Rae, Amilcar, Keiran<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Abby listened as everyone talked. Listened to names, ideas, demon counts, the advice of Rae for them<em>not</em>to go on this crazy mission at all. She considered the fact that Rae said Tara wouldn't like it, and she didn't like the idea of pissing Tara off. Tara hadn't had to keep her, could have turned her over to the men of Homestead (though from what she had heard so far, it would apparently be harder for them to keep her now) but she hadn't. Of course if she hadn't seen what she had in her, things could have fallen out differently. Of course Tara had also said she'd be training with the Rangers, so when better to start than now?<br/><br/>She had a lot of questions, but nothing truly constructive to offer so she decided to keep her questions to herself for the moment and let the others, those experienced in fighting, figure out their tactics. She also promised herself that after this trip, she wouldn't need others to protect her again. She'd use it as a learning experience and then continue to train and learn. Anyala had seemed, at the very least, amused by her presence, perhaps she would be able to convince her to teach her things that the Rangers couldn't. She intended to be open to any sources of learning made available to her.<br/><br/>Waiting for a lull in the conversation she did, finally, look to River and ask the one question about all of this that actually concerned her, "So, did the old Ranger tell you what exactly this machine<em>is</em>River? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that's why you were asking me about my mechanical skills. If you know what the thing is, I might be able to tell you the odds of my being able to fix it before you ever head out the gate."
