Shaking her head at Anthony's dramatics, Karen patiently waits for him to fill his canteen.  "Looks like you need a break.  This looks like a good place to me."  After he sat down, Karen got on her knees and held out her canteen to fill it.  When she was finished she sat back on her legs and said, "Just listen to the running water.  They way it echoes.  It's beautiful," Karen said, quite uncharacteristically.  Very rarely did she get all poetic or emotional.  If she had ever been that way she certainly couldn't remember it.  Poetics and emotional crap wouldn't get her very far in life so she certainly never thought about it.<br/><br/>As if she realized she wasn't being very tough, Karen practically growled her next words at Anthony to remind him that she was strong and wasn't to be messed with.  "Let's sit back to back so we can rest more efficiently and keep watch behind us and in front."
