"You okay back there Linnea? Let me take your hand so you aren't afraid."
Garret is actually doing this more for himself than for her. He hates this dark tunnel, the brown water they are wading for, and the eerie water noises he keeps hearing. He keeps looking around for rats and snakes, and jumping out of his skin at every shadow or potential threat they meet.
"Yeah, I'll protect you."

"O, a strong drink can bring together the strangest of companions."
I take another gulp from the bottle.
"I wanted to thank you for putting in a good word for me with your boss... I figure that you did that, at least. It was really good of you."
I am definitely starting to feel the effects of the alcohol, good and bad. My pain has lessened, but I also feel cloudy and my judgement is feeling a little impaired.
It also feels a little warm in the bar. I decide that since no one is looking for me, it does me no harm to pull back the hood of my sweatshirt. I smooth down my hair with one tattooed hand. I have all but forgotten the fresh cuts on my face from falling on the pavement.

"Yeah Im fine," Linnea says up to him. After what she faced at the League this was nothing.
After he says he will protect her, she reaches her hand up to put it in Garret's, and they walked through the gross water.

"No problem. Like I said, I am half human too so I know what it's like. I thought, hey there is a woman like myself, let me put in a good word for her. That could be me in her place."
I take another drink myself.
"So, who's your friend here? He doesn't talk much."

"No clue really. I think he came over here to pick me up... but he's really not my type." I say as I lean over to Moira. I try to say it quietly so that he won't be able to hear, but probably say it loud enough since I have been drinking.
I take another drink and say in the same semi-quiet voice, "He's all yours if you want him, but he's definitely not much of a conversationalist."

Garret holds her hand tightly. He smiles and feels more secure when she is with him.
"Let's talk about something. It will keep my mind off of the rats and snakes."

Wagner stops with his glass to his lips when the others address him. "I am only talking when I have matters to talk for. Pardon my strange talking, I am new to this language."

"What do you want to talk about?" Linnea says to him, this would be a perfect time to observe Sayka so that she could put her in the mural.

I laugh.
"He isn't really my type either."
I slouch into my seat.
"Tell me a little about yourself. I never get to talk to people much, except my friend Fascia from time to time. It's all work work work at the League."

"Let's talk about...um...food!" Garret says. He is not as intellectual as some of the other rebels.
"One time I got really bad food poisoning at this Chinese place so like now I can't eat Chinese food. I love hamburgers and fries and that kind of stuff. What is your favorite food?"
"Oh, and this other time I was eating this BBQ sandwhich and I like got it all over my new expensive shirt and I was so mad. I was sooo mad. Almost as mad as the food poisoning thing."

"What's there to tell? I am your typical malcontent, unlucky at cards, life, and love. I recently passed from life to death to life, and am trying to sort things out. I smoke, drink, and swear... and am your mother's worst nightmare... and I have written the occasional poem."
I take another drink and ignore the man, this woman is much more interesting.
"Tell me about yourself. I don't get to talk to people too often either."

Wagner drains his glass and remains quiet. It was far more interesting just listening to the two women. And from their words, it seemed that this was an unusual meeting. The first girl seemed to be a rebel but the elf girl was with the government. This did not make sense. He would have to wait and find out the rest of their stories, or at least see if they tried to kill one another.

Linnea smiled as she listend to him and nodded her head.
"My favorite food? I like a lot of different foods but I dont think I have a favorite."

"I work at the League of the Godless stomping out religion. I believe in Red Infinity. I like to fly my helicoptor. I was going to get married but decided I'm not ready. Now I just work and hang out with my best friend Fascia. I used to love her but now she has a man so I just am out of luck."

"No favorite food? Come on, everyone likes something. You seem like the kind of woman who likes fancy desserts. I heard Mischa makes really great Tiramisu, maybe he could make us some if we asked."
Garret continues to trudge through the water following behind Sayuka.
"Or cheesecake, I bet you like that. Everyone likes cheesecake. Even Stalinists like cheesecake."
