"I can't do that" the idea that he wanted to see her sister was causing her guard to go up, crossing her arms she looked him straight in the eye. Piercing gold that would not budge. "You'll have it when its finished, and it should be finished soon."

She could tell the guard was angry, already he was moving over, eyes narrowed she turned to look at him while he spoke. "Are you serious! How can we even trust you! You have access to this kind of information and your not even willing to part with i-" It was fast, her blade in her hand she held it to his throat, her hand looking to be delicate while she spoke. "I can't do that, and I will not do it, so you will wait."
With that she pulled her blade away, sheathing it as she turned back to the male. "You'll have it when its done, shes making it for this anyway."

@Sohtem

"Hey look, were almost there." Sitting on the back of a brahman Aurora found herself a bit shocked to find that her and Chase were moving so fast. "Huh, guess I forgotten where we started in the first place."
A pistol in hand she just stayed with the sway of the animal, chase leading the creature in hand while she enjoyed the sights of the world. A smile on her face as the sun was resting on her skin, the sky was blue and the land stretched on forever in a vast and what she thought looked like a colour filled painting.

Her laser and chair strapped to the brhamn's back. She was about to speak again when Chase halted their process, staying silent she looked on ahead, fresh blood beneath them with a figure off in the distance. In a single breath her companion brought the sights from his shot gun his gaze, finger on the trigger. "What are you doing, he's done nothing wrong." Her whisper hash she leaned over the animal to look at him. "Yeah but he could spill trouble later."

Already she grabbed the barrel, Chase yanking it away from her. "If he shoots at us I'm using you as a shield." Sounding annoyed all Aurora done was shrug her shoulders, "fair enough. Besides you can't shoot someone that far away with a double barrel."

Continuing down their path they were slowly closing in on the figure. The red head was able to start seeing his features as she gave a friendly smile and waved. "You heading to Devenport to?" She was always a friendly person, nodding her head in greeting while Chase stayed silent the entire time, hand on his gun reading to kill the poor soul if he tried anything.

A few hours had passed since Brick had locked himself in the workshop, he was sweaty and tired, but he was done. He emerged holding the pistol, admiring his work. In fact, he was positively giddy, he didn't even want to wait for George to come tomorrow for the gun, he wanted to return it now. He walked over to the large cabinet where he displayed ammo and unlocked it, withdrawing a case of 9mm rounds.

'Let's see, 12 to fill up the mag, another 15 in a spare' He thought as he counted out bullets 'That ought to do it'

Brick walked into his bedroom to pick up his .44 Magnum and quickly checked to make sure it was loaded before shoving it into his holster. Didn't want to risk being out unarmed in public with raiders likely coming for his head. He headed out and strolled down the street towards Angie's Inn.

Sliding open the barn door, he was greeted with a boisterous 'Hey sugar!' from Angie behind the counter.
"Hey Ange, I sent a customer of mine over here this morning, George Cantwell? He around?"
"He stepped out a little while ago, I'd assume he went over to the bar"
"Thanks" Brick turned to leave before remembering "Oh, here's your cut of the caps on the Hardy job, threw in an extra 50 for your headaches last night" He tossed a small bag of caps on the counter "And Douglas was supposed to let me know if there were any radio transmissions comin' in?"
"Hasn't been down from the office in the last little while, I'll tell him you were wondering"
"Thanks again" Brick left and walked down the street a little further towards the bar. It was truly amazing to him how quickly a town could spring up seemingly overnight. Just a few months ago, this hillside was just the old homestead and the barn, now there were dozens of small shacks and market stands lining the street. People had even restored the rotting fence that marked the perimeter, making it look almost like new. He noticed Travis, one of his guards, discreetly walking near the perimeter fence, he diverted from his course and went to speak.

@CloseEnough @Sohtem

"Hey boss" Travis said, almost lazily.
"Travis. Anything out there?" Brick asked.
"Caravan wandered by about two hours ago to the south, on the road to Creswell. Apart from that, its been quiet. I did notice some movement about a mile out not long ago. Couldn't get a good sight cuz one of the Riflemen wandered around the corner, almost caught me with my rifle out"
"Can I take a look?"
"Yeah, they were just a straight glance to the south. I'll keep an eye out for ya" He unslung his rifle and handed it to his employer. Brick sighted up and glanced in the direction Travis pointed. Sure enough there was some movement, they were maybe half a mile, or 2/3rd of the way out, now, but the shape was unmistakable. A Brahmin mounted up with a human, and another standing alongside. Seemed like they were confronting a third person, but it was impossible to know what was happening out there.
"Stay close to the gate and keep an eye on them" He instructed "If they're heading this way, meet them at the foot of the hill. If it goes bad, shout for backup, either one of the guys, or the Riflemen will come running. And if they seem ok, come find me, I'll be at the bar"
"Sounds good Brick"
Brick handed the rifle back and returned to the street, heading off towards the bar.

"There, you can see town from here, happy now?" Chase looked up at the red head, an annoyed tune to his voice while Aurora herself was taking apart her pistol and putting it back together. "Will you stop that? What if someone attacks us and its not working?" The words almost caused the woman to laugh, putting the magazine back inside after what seemed to be the sixth time. "I don't know, as if their gonna shoot my legs or something."

Growling almost he yanked the brhaman's lead a jerky movement causing her to fall forward. "Not cool, not cool." A glare escaping her she shook her head, looking forward and estimating the lengths they were from the outline resembling a town. She could see how heavily guarded it was, a strange metallic smell wafting to her senses. "Its been so long since I seen a actual town, Eden keeps telling me about them but I have to sneak out just to see them from a distance."
A sigh escaped her companion, a sound causing her to silence herself, her hands working without her thinking too much on it. Taking apart the gun once more, a rag in hand as she started to clean the parts.

It was about an hour till she began hearing others. Humans from all sorts of life, camping out and trying to sell their wears. ""Let me do the talking and if someone asks your a junk trader." She was already glaring at the words, the laser behind her covered with a blanket and Chase had the nerve to think she could call her junk? No way.

"What are you here for?"
It looked like a normal check in, the brhaman pawing at the ground Aurora began to put the last pieces together before placing her pistol back in it's holster. Chase putting his shot gun on his back he mentioned to the cow behind him. "Just a trader passing through, little lady here though was here for the forge guy? Guess shes a customer."

Aurora rolled her eyes at the words, looking back at the guards she waved Chase's words off. "Actually I was looking for Brick, he was in Devenport right?"
She looked so off in the wastelands, red hair that stuck out like a sore thumb with golden eyes untouched by radiation. No scars, clean, she honestly looked like easy pickings in this hell hole.

Preston face turned from amazement to an anger, " How dare you pull a weapon on a Crimson Wing!" He yelled pulling out his Smith and Wesson Model 1 revolver, " You are going to show us your source or we will kill you and figure this out by ourself. Don't make a silly mistake... We don't want to clean up a mess." He said as the Revolver was pointed toward her head and the guards surrounding her pulled out theirs.

The mumbles and groans from the hole silenced as Preston finished his sentence. A eerie silence grew over the campsite as eyes were glued to this little scene brewing. A click was heard from the revolver as Preston readied his pistol he didn't want to use it but had to show force as one of his had been threaten.

Travis looked over the duo. They both seemed on the up-and-up. He nodded.
"Brick's in the bar, follow me"

Brick was finishing off a meal of noodles and what passed for beer in these parts. He wiped his mouth and began speaking to his dinner companion.
"So George, down to business, shall we?" He took out the pistol and spare mag "First off, a free clip, as we discussed, the gun's topped off too. Let's see... well the major work was the barrel, you pull back the slide there, you'll see its been replaced with a piece of old world piping I got from a Vault up north. Took her apart, cleaned her up, replaced a few parts, like the firing pin, and hammer lock, shined up everything else to look like new. Left the scratches, like you asked. That gun'll treat your family good for generations to come. We threw in the tag job too, check out the bottom there, under the barrel"

He turned the gun over to show the engraving placed n the underside of the pistol 'Cantwell Family's Legacy'

"Now comes the unfortunate talk of payment" Brick continued "Job like this, premium care and top-shelf parts, plus the labor costs, I have it figured at around 275, but I like you, so I wanna cut you a deal. You pay for dinner here, and I'll let you off with 220. You can drop by the shop tomorrow morning if you don't have the caps on ya, but you can take her with ya for the night, just treat her right is all I ask"
"For sure Brick, Thank you so much, and please tell Forge I say thanks to him, will ya? I'll be by first thing with the caps. See you then"

The young man stood, holstered Legacy, and departed to pay for their meals. Brick picked up his bottle to polish off the drink when he felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Travis.

"Those people we saw are here. Got a young woman out there, wants to speak to you. Need me to come up to the shop?"
"I'll be fine, you can go back to patrol. Lead the way" he replied
They walked outside to find her seated on the brahmin.
"I'm Brick, how about we take a walk up to the house? On the way up, you can introduce yourself and tell me how I can help ya"

"I refuse" she did not move, blade held down as she looked him in the eye, unblinking. The eyes of someone who had lost everything, and was willing to give everything up if it meant protecting what she had left. "Go ahead, strike me down, but if you do the person who made this would most likely die within a few days and you will loose your chance."

She took a step closer, the barrel bumping in her armour as she held her hands in her pockets. "You take advantage of a good deed given to you from a unknown source. I can not, and I will not tell you were she is, and you will have your weapon, free, of, charge as she requested when its finished."

The image of Aurora, little sweet Aurora bound in a wheel chair working day and night for others played in her head. Each time she came home her sibling was ether working, or asleep from working. She had no chance of defending herself, and yet she helped those who would not have a second thought of putting a bullet in her head.
She clicked her tongue, a habit long developed. "I have to go" how long has it been since she saw Aurora? Three days maybe? Yeah, she needed to check on her, get her some more food, water, make sure everything is okay.

Turning on her heel she began to walk, giving him a wave. "I'm not apart of the crimson wings, you don't have authority over someone who dose not care if shes paid or not and I'm doing this out of the kindness of my heart, now sit here, be good, and I'll be back in a day."

Aurora stayed on the brahamn's back, Chase impatiently waiting in the cooling air as they waited for the guard to come back. Tilting her head at he sight of him she raised a brow. He actually had the look of a weapons smith, a bit more laid back than she would have thought. "Oh, yeah, right."

Chase leading the Bhraman she gave the male she assumed was Brick a look of apology. "Sorry, I can't really get down yet." The town passing by though she found her sights caught by the smallest things, collections of everything that caused the wheels of her head to turn at the idea of work. "Well, my name is Aurora and I was the one who contacted you a while ago on the radio. I tried to get a hold of you by my mic broke cause I kinda made it on the fly, sorry. But..."

She looked back at her laser behind her, a soft smile on her features as she reached over and patted the creation that lay beneath. "Well I found out Fuago here is a lady and won't work till you give her what she wants, and what she wants is a tessla board and a higher grade circuit than what I have, so I was wondering if you still had the parts for sale."

Seeing a shop that had to be Forge's Aurora looked at her companion as he tied the Bhraman up, without a word he took the chair off and placed it on the ground, using the animal to block the view of others in a process that had obviously been practised. The red head grabbed one of her legs, pulling it over the brhaman's back and sliding off to an awaiting Chase that caught her and placed her in the crumbling chair. The thing looked like a piece of junk but at least it held her.

Brick's eyes lit up when she told him who she was.

'Aurora, pretty name' he thought.

"Nice to meet you" He said. He waited until her companion had gotten her settled away before speaking again.

"Yeah, we've got all the parts you'll need inside here" He thought it'd be rude to ask about the chair, so instead he turned to speak to the red-headed "trader"

"You need some help lifting her up onto the porch?"

"Its nice to meet you to" Chase just shook his head, "girl won't let ether of us-" He could even finish his sentence when the red head brought her chair up in a wheely, the gears groaning in a rust covered resistance as she got the first wheels up, using her arms she grabbed the larger back wheels to try and get leverage, a smile on her face when she found herself able to start moving up.

Even if Chase used his boot on the bar behind her to give her the leverage needed without her knowing. "Least not having breaks dose one good thing, lot looser movement. Chase, can you get Fuago?" The older man just waved her off, bringing the entire blanketed contraption and even stumbling when he brought it down from the cow's back. "Jeez this thing weighs a ton."

"Its not a thing, Fuago is a she and she dose not weight that much."

"Says the girl who just puts it on her legs, you can't feel anything."

"Do you have any idea how rude it is to say a lady is heavy? Jeez your mean." She was sticking out her toung, opening her arms and waiting for Fuago to be put on her lap as she wheeled inside. "Thanks a lot for this Brick, I just got to find out how much fixing her up will cost but shes going to be saving a few lives once we get her up and running."

Her eyes went wide when she saw what was inside though, like a kid in a candy store she looked around, turning her head this way and that at the amount of weapons and parts that were actually inside the shop. "Oh wow, this is so cool, most I get to work with is a suit of power armour." Voice going higher in pitch as though she were talking about a boy she looked back at Brick when she saw a open table, asking for permission if she could put the covered weapon up once the door was closed.

"She may be a bit bulky, but she has some attitude and throws her weight around. Its were she got the name, got a spit fire of a personality once you try to work with her at all." She could hear Chase in the back, mumbling how she couldn't get the thing to run even after she got the parts.
"Chase you just have to know how to talk to a lady and this is why you don't have one."

Brick chuckled to himself, enjoying the banter between the two. He was curious to see what kind of behemoth lay beneath the covering, if what they were saying were correct, Fuago was going to be quite the sight when it was finished.

"You can set her down on the table. I'll grab the parts we need and see what we can do for ya" Brick moved behind the counter and slipped into the workshop. He fished around for some circuit boards, and then dashed back across the room to pick up an arc welder and tesla pack.

He stepped back into the main room, carrying the goods.

"Here's everything like I said you'd need. Ammo and stuff are in the cabinet there, don't know what you already have access to, but everything is here. We can talk price later, but for now, you want some help puttin all that together? Forge is out for the night, so unless customers come by, I haven't got anything to do tonight"

Reese had been walking for about twenty minutes when he started to hear some movement behind him, he soon saw some figure approaching on a brahmin. He gently rested his hand on his knife as they approached him, he hoped they weren't more bandits or friends of the other bandits he had been attacked by almost a half hour ago.

“Uh yeah, I am, wouldn't be too much trouble if I could get ride would it? I could pay you.” He responded back to the red head that had spoken to him.

When she agreed, he got on and soon once again was on the move to Davenport. He was glad to have found some friendly strangers, they were few and far between, though he had a feeling that one of her companions was a little weary of him, but as long as he wasn't bothered, he wouldn't bother anyone in return.

As they continued on their trip, he listened to the three converse, not really saying too much, one being he didn't think they'd be in each others company much longer and two being that he didn't really have much to say, not that it was anything against them, he was just a rather quiet person, who he was a far as he could remember. He soon looked over when the town had been mentioned, he was glad that they were nearly there, deciding that he wanted to stretch his legs and walk the rest of the way, he got off the brahmin, paying for his trip and continuing on by walking, it wasn't much further now and he didn't need to rid the whole way to town.

Eventually he got to what seemed like a checkpoint of sorts, eventually being let in after he told them he was just passing through and wanted a place to rest for the night. He glanced around the town as he entered, seeing it fairly busy with life, he wondered if it was even busier where he was heading, well he would find out when he got there, in the mean time, he needed to find an inn or something for him to stay.

He soon found a place to stay, paid for the room and then decided to have a look around, seeing the people he had been riding with enter what looked like a gun shop decided to head there, perhaps get his weapon cleaned and fixed up a bit or at the very least have a look around at what was being sold. When he entered he saw them in the middle of a conversation, deciding to at least wait till they were done talking, though he couldn't help himself as he listened in a little on what was being discussed, though he would butt in to affairs that weren't his, some people liked their business private and could be volatile if it was intruded upon.

With enough effort Aurora was able to set Fuago down on the table, like a child she had to peer over the edge, her own workshop having to have been cut down for her to use properly yet she didn't complain as she took the covers off to show off her work. It seems she was doing as was told, everything nice and clean, while some of the pieces were on the older side she had a altered fusion core in the centrer to accommodate for it as well as a circuit board acting as a backing and adding more power. A handle on the top to be held like a mini gun it seems the girl had some fun with giving some open parts a red finish to add to it's given name.

"I work with what I got, actually I'm not supposed to be outside right now. I'm kinda a easy target out here cause I can't walk and all so my family kinda locks me away and I get what she finds. Its better than nothing but she's not the brightest when it comes to the mechanics of the weapons she uses, can't even fix my damn chair with what I got."
She was already tinkering with fuago as she spoke under her breath, "but boy is she a sharp shooter..."

Looking over to see Brick with an arm load of good caused her eyes to light up. "Oh wow its like Christmas, thats a military grade circuit board that the brotherhood of steel hoards, I was only able to get my hands on one of those." Nodding her head at the offer she looked back at the table that seemed just a bit too tall for her to get her hands in Fuago's centre.
"Usually..I would say no with pride and everything. But I think I'm gonna need your help, I brought the plans if that makes it easier." Holding out her journals she brought out a few pages worth of notes.

Hearing the door open though caused her head to turn, eyes wide in a face of fear when she saw the person that they were travailing with. Before she was riding, but now she was in her chair, a stranger who she had no idea what he would do was looking at her and there was no way she could explain to him how she was not a cripple.
"Please don't tell anyone I'm here." The words were already out of her mouth before she could think, looking back at Chase who was already glaring at him. "If I were you I would listen to the lady."

"Ok, hold on folks, let's calm down a bit. Aurora, I'll tell you what, we can even use Forge's workshop, it's just there through the door, you can head on in there" He pointed to the door, then turned to Chase "Here, you wanna carry this stuff in there, just set it on the main workbench, its right in front of you soon as you head in, can't miss it"

@Sohtem

Brick walked towards the other person who had followed them to the shop and spoke up.
"Hey there" Brick piped up "Welcome to Forge's, I'm Brick, anything I can help you out with?"

Aurora made no time getting Fuago back, the weapon almost falling on her lap and landing in a way that probably done some bruising as she began to wheel in the back room. Away from the sight of the other person, and already at ease when she saw what the actual workshop had to offer. "Oh man if I had something like this can you imagine what I could do?"

Chase doing as he was told gathered the rest, looking around he seemed to just shrug. "What you do every damn night?" Earning a glare from the woman she began to look around at the tools and equipment organized throughout the space. "No, not even close if I could work with this I could have made that suit of power armour a year ago."

Trying to set Fuago on the table only caused problems though, her chair wheeling back from her being too short she was caught by Chase who sighed, picking up the laser and setting her down on the table herself. "Gonna have to get you a better chair sometime."

"Yeah, one that makes it so I can look you guys in the eye."

Reese glanced over at the man acknowledging him as he was browsing over the items in the shop and said, “Oh yes, hello, I was wondering if you had any ammo for my gun here.” He motioned to his rifle on his back, it being empty of both a magazine and a bullet in the chamber, he felt it was safer that when when he entered towns, at least people wouldn't be threatened by him right away.

He then added, “I was also wondering if I could get it repaired and touched up, I think the barrel is starting to go.” He had a fair amount of caps on him, so he wasn't too worried about the cost of such things, though he perhaps could be wrong, all the states he had passed through varied when it came to pricing items, some were cheaper, others not so much, hopefully he could get a good deal for his gun, it was too damaged, just the barrel slightly worn down and a few nicks on the gun from being out in the roughness of the wastes.

"I'm sure we can help you out, got some ammo of all kinds here" Brick started "As for the repair and maintenance work, we can do that too, only real question I gotta ask is what level of service would you need on it, just a basic touch-up, or a full premium service, in which we polish up everything and replace what's needed with top shelf, sometimes custom made parts. Maybe you want something in between? All the prices are on the Service board there. I'll give you a second to mull it over while I check in with those two in back"

SERVICES
Basic Maintenance - 25-50 caps
Complete Maintenance - 100-150 caps
Repairs/Replacements - 75-150 caps
Specialty Work - 100-200 caps
Premium Service - 200+ caps (Top shelf/custom parts. Complete Maintenance Job, plus free ammo top-off)
(Prices do not include labor costs)


Brick slipped into the workshop "Ok great you're all set up. Why don't you grab a screwdriver and start taking the back off the Tesla Pack, so we can get at it's meaty insides. As for you Chase, I know it's not my place to order you around, but I wanna ask you a question. You seem like you know your way around a weapon, and this morning, there was an.... incident. I... I mean Forge killed a customer over a payment dispute. We have reason to believe that the customer was a Raider, and he might have friends out there looking for revenge. I've got my guys keeping an eye on the town's perimeter, and there's a few OBR Riflemen in town who'll pitch in if they attack, but I could really use someone on guard duty on the porch outside. There's no saying when they'll attack, if they even exist, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'll finish up with my customer out there, grab the ammo we'll need, then I'll be right back"

He came back out and spoke to Reese "So, you have any ideas?"

Nodding her head Aurora moved her chair, looking through a tool box, pulling out a screw driver she looked at the end nodding to herself when she saw it was what she needed.
Pulling the Tesla Pack on her lap she began taking it apart, putting piece by piece on the table just in her reach as she listened to what was going on. "Forge killed someone....." Shes never been one that would freak out over a death but for something so small? Was she really in a safe situation?

Chase rose a brow when the Brick guy began to ask him to stand outside like he done with Aurora. Looking over at the red head she seemed to be on cloud nine when at work. If something happened she would be a sitting duck. "Fine, but if you so much as lay a hand on her I'll know and raiders would be the last thing to worry about."
Slinging his shot gun over his back he made his way through the shop, lazily sitting in a chair on the pouch, looking at the activity going on before him. Would he be like this if Eden stopped paying for him? Wandering around aimlessly hoping work would come his way? A sigh escaping his lips he looked back through the window. If something happened to that girl caps would be the last thing to worry about.

Reese glanced over the services, finding the prices fairly cheaper than what he had seen two states back or so, not that he couldn't have afforded it, just the fact that it was always nice to spend as little money as possible, especially out in the wastes where a weapon was almost required to survive.

He heard some muttering going on in the back though he couldn't make out who it was, for all he knew it could have just been the radio going on, though his curiosity was getting the better of him, he couldn't help but think in his head what was going on, it was human nature after all, wondering about the world around them as well as trying to find answers to every little question or problem.

“Yeah, I'd like my gun touched up on the exterior, get rid of the small scratches and dents on it, also I'd like the barrel replaced, feel like it could go at any moment.” He lightly chuckled, then added, “Say there was a two people that I had traveled with a little ways back down the road, I thought I saw them come in here, I had been hoping to get the chance to tell them thanks, not too many friendly strangers out there.”

He may have paid them, but he felt he hadn't given a proper thanks, they could have just either gone past him or killed him and taken his stuff, though they didn't and that at least merited a proper thanks to say the very least.

Brick spoke as he gathered up Energy Cells, Microfusion cells, and Electron Charge Packs for the Fuago.
"Well the girl is back in the workshop there, we're working on a project together, can't let ya back there though, my boss would kill me if he found out. I can ask her if she'd speak to you for a minute. And the man just stepped out on the porch there, so I guess you could speak to him. As for your requests, we can take care of all of that for ya. I think that would fall under specialty work, but we'll see what Forge says when he gets workin' on it. We run a promotion with the little inn down in the barn there. The lady down there, Angie, will give ya a bed for the night and a meal for free, if you want to take advantage of that, I can get you a voucher. And, other than that, we're about done here. Payment is only accepted after the work is done. Sorry to have to run off like this, lots of work going on here right now. Me or one of my guys will track you down when its ready. I do have one last question for you, does this weapon have a name? And I'll just get you to hold on for a second while I go speak to her, just knock on the door here if I don't come back out in a few minutes. Excuse me"

Brick opened up the door to the workshop, entered, and closed it up again behind him. He set the ammo supply down on an adjacent workbench and then turned to speak to Aurora "So now we've got everything we need. Might be a long night, but Fuago is going to be a beast once we get her all rigged up" As he spoke, Brick was desperately trying to think up some kind of story to justify his skills, but nothing came to him, so he resigned to the fact he'd have to spill his secret for the second time that day.

"There's something I wanted to tell you before we got started, but I can't say it unless you promise me you can keep a secret. We can deal with that before we actually start working, because there's another thing: the guy out there says he was travelling with you? Wanted to say thanks or something? I mean, you seemed a little freaked out there, so I understand if you don't wanna speak to him, but I can crack open the door long enough for you two to speak"

Piece by piece she was taking the Tessla pack apart, a soft smile on her face at the familiarity her hands worked with. The sound of the door opening behind her she nodded her head when she heard Brick talk about a long night and Fuago. "Well every night for me is a long one, kinda all I do. But shes going to pack a punch like nothing other that I made."

Stopping for a moment when she was asked if she could keep a secret she grabbed the table to steady herself, grabbing the other hand she tried to face him, slowly trying to turn. "Well course I can, not much else I can do. And you have leverage over me, not a whole lot of people know I'm alive and if someone knew that there was a wheel chair bound woman in the wasteland...well you look smart enough to figure out what that kind of life that would open for me..."

That was what Eden always said to her, it wasn't to scare her it was just to make her more careful. Still she offered a smile, about to get back to work when Brick spoke of the other guy. "Oh..umm, you'd think he'd notice? Or you think I could come across as lazy?"
Instead he offered her a way out, speaking to him through a crack in the door she nodded her head, agreeing to the idea. "Aright, sounds like a plan. So long as he doesn’t realize that I'm broken."

@Sohtem
Wheeling to the other side of the room she held out her arms to brace herself, unable to stop the wheels because of splinters and no breaks the wall had a dull "thud" when her out stretched arm's caught herself on the other side. Seeing the door cracked she peered out till only a single golden eyes underlined with freckles was seen. Though she didn't even realize that she was too low not to miss that something was up.
"Oh its you, did you find everything? You aright?" she couldn't help but worry when she crosses paths again, maybe he lost something or needed someone. Her voice friendly, almost untouched by the wasteland she tilted her head so that he could see more of her face as she looked up.
