Emma let out a long sigh as she sat alone in the class, picking at her lunch and glancing around the class with a bored expression. She watched as everyone sat in their own groups of friends and enjoyed each others companies. A small huff escaped her as she was still a little upset about this morning and pushed her lunch away with a frown. As she thought about it she felt a slight feeling of embarrassment as she mistaken the salt for sugar. She groaned at her shame and shook her head. "Stupid salt, stupid pancakes," she grumbled as she glanced over to see Fay leaving the class with a bag, most likely for Lee. Emma drummed her fingers along her desk and frowned as a thought came to her mind.
"Screw it," she muttered before swiftly grabbing her things and casually making her way out of the class. A few of the other students noticed her and knew what she was up to. She was skipping again. Honestly she skips maybe two or three times a month, but today she needed to get out before she went insane. Going through the same routine she slipped out of the school and quickly made her way through the square. As she casually walked down the streets she saw a few of the adults notice her and gave a disapproval glance her way, but she just smiled and moved on. Taking a few turns here and there she finally arrived at her home and used the spare key. Right as she entered the house she dropped her things on the kitchen table and marched into the kitchen with a determined glare. She wrapped an apron around her waist and pulled out the cooking book. "Right, now, where to start," she whispered and smirked as she found her first dish. "Vegetable stew! Sounds easy enough!" she declared and wrapped a white bandana around her forehead. "Lets do this!"
Dillan frowned a bit as Lee tapped his cheek, but sighed and let a small smile come to his face. "Thanks," he chuckled and looked back over his post to see Verelik. He gave a nod to acknowledge him and sat back in his seat as they opened the gates for him. "Old coot," he smirked as he made his comment of respecting Elders. After a few seconds Dillan's stomach growled and her let out a huff. "Damn I'm starved. I didn't get to have breakfast this morning," he muttered before pausing. "Well I did, but Emma made it and replaced the sugar with salt. Nearly choked to death from salty pancakes," he shook his head with a sigh. "She upset with me now because I spat it back out," he chuckled.

I'm interested.
Dillan chuckled and shook his head. "Yeah, figures that would be your main concern," he said with a small smile. He laid his weapon back on his lap and sighed, a frown returning to his face. "Sorry about that by the way, didn't mean to bring the mood down like that," he apologized and looked to Lee, his glasses hiding his somewhat worried eyes. "It was just that Emma asked me if I had to leave because of this shit," he shook his head and began to drum his fingers along the frame of his M14, his frustration slowly creeping up his spine as he looked towards the floor. "She shouldn't have to worry about this stuff, she should just focus on being her age and that's it. I never got to, but here she does ya know? She's surrounded by kids her own age, good people who look out for each other and a place that she can actually call home," he tightened his fist as he furrowed his brow as he realized something. "I...I just don't want her to end up like me. I want her to be so much better than me," he admitted with a sigh. It was true sadly, he wanted Emma to be nothing like him. He wanted her to be free from worry and not be haunted by nightmares of his past. At her age he had already done regrettable things that still bother him to this day. Everyday he's plagued with his dread and anxiety of the future and honestly can't see himself being around in ten years, but instead of dealing with it he hides and uses his job as an excuse. He puts on a smile for her, but inside he's already tired at such a young age.
Dillan soon realized he was doing it again and shook his head. "Sorry, I didn't mean to unload that crap on ya, just a long week," he said with a small, sheepish smile. He leaned back in his seat and sighed. "Enough about my crap though, how are you and Fay doing? I haven't talked to her for awhile," he said, hoping to move the conversation in another direction.

Sadao
A small smirk of amusement came to Sadao's lips as Amelia begged for mercy from Liza and placed his hand on her shoulder before he shook his head. "Mercy? You do remember who you're talking to right?" he chuckled, though he nearly began to sweat as he remembered some of Liza's past team building exercises. He was in the hospital for a week thanks to a sprained ankle, at least that's the excuse he made to get out of it. Sadao held back a chuckle from the memory and looked around his little group. He had to admit, he's rarely worked with any of them, except for Amelia due to them being here the longest out of the group. From what he could tell though it was a good team. With a heavy yawn Sadao stretched his limbs and ruffled his messy white hair. "Well if we're going then lets hurry it up. I'd like to get some sleep on the train ride there. Kamil, get more info, Liz get your junk, Amelia look for financial help and everyone else get ready," he directed, not meaning to sound like the boss. "I'm heading there now since I barely own a thing," he chuckled, both with sadness and amusement in his tone seeing as how it was a fact. "See you there," he said as he gave a lazy wave and folded his hands behind his head as he walked away from the group and towards the station.

Dillan held back his smirk as Lee commented on Astor's smell and kept his frown as he glanced down to Astor as he entered the settlement. "Jesus you're right, he needs more than one shower," he muttered loud enough for just Lee to hear as he wrinkled his nose from a smell that lingered from Astor. He gave a nod as Astor waved to them and looked back out of the settlement with an expressionless look. Behind his sunglasses his eyes scanned the surrounding territory with an almost piercing gaze. He began to drum his fingers along his weapon and let his mind drift for a second. His recent memory of Emma's attempt at breakfast almost brought a small smile to his face. Her gesture was nice, almost lethal with the amount of salt she used, but none the less he appreciated it. Though before he could continue the amusing memory, a more worrying and upsetting one took over. Her worry for his safety and that almost fearful look in her eyes. She may be just a kid still, but she knew when danger is lingering. She's smart and tough for her age, but in the end she's just a kid.
Soon his thoughts moved on to the threat that was completely possible. The Water Leafs. War between the two settlements was just a single shot away. As the thought of being attacked came to him Dillan ceased drumming along his weapon, not realizing that it had gradually gain a faster rhythm as he thought to himself. After a brief moment of silence Dillan leaned back in his seat and aimed his M14 towards the empty lands that surrounded the settlement. He slowly scanned the territory with the scope of his gun and spoke without looking to Lee. "When do you think we'll go to war with the Water Leafs?" he asked as he gave a quick glance to Lee before looking back down the scope of his weapon. "I give it a week, maybe even a few days," he said without looking at him, but as he finished speaking he realized that his statement came out of no where. He just brought the mood down without thinking. He mentally cursed himself, but stayed silent.

"I'm serious, it was your best work yet!" Dillan tried his best to convince his little sister as she looked up at him with a pouty glare while he helped her with her dark brown hair that had just been cleaned thanks to her attempts of making him breakfast. "Maybe don't cake the kitchen with flour next time, but still it was very good," he assured her with his best fake smile. Emma crossed her arms with a huff and looked away from him.
"Then why did you hack up a lung the second you took a bite?" she asked with a annoyed mutter. Dillan cringed and held back a nervous chuckle as he tried to get her curly hair out of a knot.
"Well, um, I just never had that much salt in my pancakes is all," he chuckled nervously, but flinched as he saw her scowl deepen in her mirror and the tension grow in the air. He let out a heavy sigh as he knew he wasn't getting out of the hole he dug for himself. "Look it was a nice gesture Emma, but I said I'd help you learn to cook if you wanted," he said as he finally unraveled her hair and started to put it into a ponytail, though he was forced to stop as she turned to him with the same pointed glare and pouty expression.
"I can learn myself, just like you did!" she declared with confidence. Dillan arched an eyebrow as he turned her back around and continued with her hair.
"There's a difference though. I had to learn by myself because no one else showed me, you have me here to help you," he said with a small smile as he finished her ponytail. "Come on, I'll show you a few tips later tonight when my shift ends," he offered as he rose from his knee and looked to his watch. "Come on now, get changed for school and I'll walk ya halfway to school," Dillan walked out to let her change and after a few minutes she emerged in her usual attire. A yellow T-shirt with a green flannel, a pair of tan boxer shorts and dirty sneakers. Dillan raised an eyebrow as he saw a few bandages on her knees and sighed. She must have been getting into trouble again. He kept it to himself though, knowing she was smart enough not to leave the settlement.
With the same pout on her face Emma avoided eye contact and snatched her stuff before marching out of the house with a huff. Dillan shook his head with a small smirk and followed her out as he pulled on his gloves. The two walked through the streets in silence, Emma making sure to avoid any contact with her brother and Dillan simply trying not to sour her mood even further. Though as a group of guards walked past the two, clearly from the night shift from the tired expressions on their faces Emma's sour look dulled slightly before she glanced over to Dillan. "Will... Will you have to leave because of this whole mess between our settlement and the Water Leafs?" she asked, her pouty look still on her face, but her eyes soften with what only could be called worry. Dillan glanced back to the group of guards before looking back at his sister. A small frown came to his face as he saw the look on her face and sighed. He didn't want to tell her, but he also didn't want to lie.
"I honestly don't know Em, I hope not, but right now things are kinda hot," he admitted but quickly placed a hand on her shoulder for comfort. "I promise though, that no matter what happens I'm gonna always come back. Okay?" Emma stared at her brother to see if he was just trying to say what she wanted to hear, but after a few seconds she scoffed and shrugged off his hand from her shoulder as her usual pouty look returned.
"Well even when you do come back, you'll just make fun of my cooking!" she huffed. Dillan chuckled and patted the top of her head, always amused when she tried to act tough and grown up.
"I'm heading off now Emma, head to school and have a good day. I'll see ya when I get off," he said before parting ways with Emma as they both reached the town square. Emma sighed as she watched her older brother march off towards his post. She knew he meant what he said, but she couldn't help but feel worried. Before she could linger in her thoughts though she heard her teacher call out to her. She smiled and nodded as she ran towards her.
"Sorry, I was just walking with my brother," she apologized as she joined the gathered children and awaited for her day to start.
Meanwhile Dillan marched towards his post with a frown. He hated to see his sister so worried for him, but he knew she was tough for her age. With a groan he cracked his neck and entered his post. A few of his fellow guards greeted him with tired mummers and grunts, Dillan doing the same. He climbed up to a higher point in his post and as he got to the top he saw Lee had already arrived. "Morning," he grunted as he took a seat across from him and rested his M14 on his lap before looking out towards the outside of the settlement. "Ready for another exciting day?" he asked, his sarcasm nearly oozing from his tone as his frown only deepened.
"Then why did you hack up a lung the second you took a bite?" she asked with a annoyed mutter. Dillan cringed and held back a nervous chuckle as he tried to get her curly hair out of a knot.
