It only then came to Juliano's atention that she had the gun poised at him and stiffened. "I just wanted to make sure that you two were alright... Running off without knowing of our surroundings was foolish without an escort. But...I can see you two were more than fine." He grinned slightly, though it faltered. "Please...lower your weapon. Like Kate said, I'm not the enemy here."

Tink scrambled to her feet while still keeping her aim on him. She wasn't so quick to trust any of them; she didn't fully trust anyone unless it was her family or Kate, then sometimes she still didn't trust her family... "How do we know you won't go tell on us and have us banished?"

"Trust me, I wouldn't do that." Juliano rubbed the scruff of his beard. 

She still didn't trust him, but even then she couldn't just kill him and go about their business as if nothing was astray. Ever more hesitant, she slowly lowered the gun and holstered it. "What are we going to do, Kate?"

"We may not get along too well, Tinkerbell, but I'm not one to go pointing fingers. Being a snitch is something you don't want hanging over your head. I know that first-hand from someone of a previous team. I had nothing to do with it, but it did not go well for them."

"Shut up! I wasn't asking for your opinion," she snapped, glaring. She turned to look at Kate, desperation evident in her eyes. "Please...before it's too late." [i]'Let's get out of here.'[/i]
