[b]”It's best you're with them at this point, anyways. It may be their last evening breathing the Dust-filled air…”[/b]

Val didn't respond to the barb. There was no need to play games with the General when he had already made it very clear who's side he was on and what he would do if they were threatened. The only thing that stopped him from intervening with their actions against VV and A were that he could clearly see they were both collapsed on the ground, one receiving medical treatment, the other about to be hauled off to a cell undoubtedly. His blue eyes flicked back over to the General, Mercy's howls for violence and death echoing in his mind. 

Those flames... the General was also tied to a Wild. How many Wilds did Ghost Corps count among their number?

[b]”I've uh, been instructed by the general to feed all of you except the black-haired Umbra girl. And uh… if any of you try to feed her, I've been told you'll ‘incur the wrath of the general’. His words, not mine.”[/b]

Val accepted the offered food and water, moving to put A's rations near her for when she was ready for them. He frowned when he saw that the rations were shorted VV's portion, but waited for Mimi to at least take a few bites of the jerky before he acted up.

Val reached out and took the rations meant for himself, uncapping the canteen of water and downing a mouthful before recapping it and tightening the lid down to make sure it didn't spill a drop.

"All due respect to the Ghost Corps," he said, looking LeFrey in his eyes, "last I checked the doc was alive enough to be scribbling, so incarceration is already a heavy punishment for striking a person interfering with a call for medical aid."

"Tell the General I said to go Dust himself. I'll await my ass kicking at his pleasure," Val finished, giving an over the top mocking bow, "and if I see a hint of green from you, Mercy has been screaming at me to come out and play." Unlike when he had been speaking of the General, there was a hint of regret when he leveraged the threat against LeFrey. The man was likely just following orders after all, and Val still owed him for getting them out of the grasps of the Ravagers.

He tossed the canteen between the laser bars, followed quickly by the ration pack. He didn't even think VV might be hungry, it was more about sending the message that he had no intention of following such a ridiculous punishment as starving a prisoner. Especially a prisoner that he was supposed to be protecting.

"Whoops, my hand slipped," Val said, still staring at LeFrey.
