She stayed quiet, suddenly seeming a bit more irritated. She looked up over the rocks as the shadows grew longer. It was getting later.

"What's the matter?" Jackson asked, turning.
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik

"Getting dark." Was all she said. She checked her pistols. Of course they weren't loaded. They'd need to be cleaned after all they went through as well. Once they made it to wherever they were headed she'd clean them up, after dealing with the Roland fellow's shackles. That would be a job.

"Yep. But do you see that?" They pointed toward the horizon. "We're aiming for that rock formation to stay the night. It'll provide some cover from the wind."

She could see the formation. They were right, it wouldn't be so bad out of the wind, and she was tired. While the chattering would be irritating after weeks of silence, there was something to be said for being able to rest while others kept watch.

"So." Bug sidled up to her. "You're a human, then. You eat human food?"

She frowned and looked at him directly in his optics, not impressed with his apparent reasoning capabilities. "What little of that is left lying around."

"Don't you get tired of having to provide yourself with constant sustenance?"
"He's setting you up to lose," Jackson warned Rhys. "He did this with Roland, too."

"Yep." She turned away, hardly paying him any heed. He was added to her list of those she didn't like already. Him and that scarecrow.

"So why do you eat, then? It seems like a struggle."
"Give it a rest, Bug." Jackson dropped back to walk with Rhys. "I'm sorry about him. His programming is....unique."

All of them were. They were an odd group of individuals. But then again, you never knew what you might run across. At this point, anything was believable. She continued on in silence. She didn't seem like she was interested in holding up a conversation.

"Uh..." Jackson hesitated. "So do you like weapons? Bug likes weapons."
"Clubs and sticks," Bug clarified.

"I like my pistols. I'd use them more if powder wasn't so hard to come by." Scraps of cloth and rocks vaguely the size of a ball would suffice in a pinch, but there wasn't much one could use in place of the explosive.

"Best to stick with close combat weapons or wind-up projectile weapons," Bug said primly. "They don't need much in the way of material."

She sighed. "That's what the crossbow is for."
