 XXXXXXXXXX »»XXXXXXAlexander and MikaylaXXXXXX«« Alexander nodded at Mikayla when their eyes met. "Well, I think we've decided that we're staying with you." Mikayla said. "You can keep the weapons, we don't need those. The food is probably okay, I mean they were carrying it for themselves, right? So, why wouldn't it be?" She looked thoughtful for a moment.
"I don't think we properly introduced ourselves." Mikayla began. "I'm Mikayla and this is Alexander." She said, gesturing to herself then 'Zander. She wasn't actually completely sure whether or not they had introduced themselves, but it was better to be on the safe side.

"I'm Arthur, that's Lars. I'm fairly certain old Bess got killed by the blast, or else I'd introduce you to the Brahmin. Anyways. Either of you hungry? I think there's enough to go around." Art said, letting go of the sack for a moment to pull out another cigarette and light it. He had a sense of accomplishment after defeating so many raiders. He sighed, letting out some smoke. "Trail's been rather rough lately."

XXXXXXXXXX »»XXXXXXAlexander and MikaylaXXXXXX«« Mikayla noded, checking that Alexander was okay with it. "A few bits of food would be welcome. It has been? The way we've been traveling hasn't had too many rough spots. Only a few things here and there." She said with a smile. Alexander flashed a dreamy look at the thought of food. He was famished.

"I've been in worse situations, though usually on my own and without any Brahmin to lose along with all the supplies. Really, I only worry for you two, and Lars. It'd take a lot to take out a stubborn cuss like me. I just didn't keep pumping myself with drugs because we've only got so many supplies." Art said, looking at the other two. He seemed to be able to withstand his aches a bit better, still deeply under the Med-X effect. "Lars hired me as his guard a long time ago. What's the story with you two?"

XXXXXXXXXX »»XXXXXXAlexander and MikaylaXXXXXX«« Alexander and Mikayla looked at eachother and then burst out laughing. The idea that he was worried for them was laughable. One reason being that they were more than a perfect match for any kind of opponent. Their best defense was their 'innocence'. Second being that no one ever cared for them, not even their parents. "Ah. We don't like to talk about it. The only thing we tell people is that we grew up by ourselves. Just us. Our parents abandoned us when we were old enough to talk. Ever since then we've traveled." Mikayla said. "I mean, we've had some bad fights. Out numbered. But, other than that we're fine. Almost nothing can beat our perfect team." Alexander nodded. His eyes gleaming with amusement. They were always there for eachother.

"Then... The best thing you two could do for me is take the path ahead of me, take Lars along. I'll catch up. Just leave me with a few things, I should make it by the end of the week." Arthur said, thinking if they could handle that, they could handle babysitting the injured man. "If I bite off more then I can chew, I could know that no one would be endangered by the end results of my failure. It would really ease my burden a bit. By any chance, did you find a spare lighter, some cigarettes, or possibly some alcohol? I'm out of alcohol, and running low on fluid and cigarettes."

XXXXXXXXXX »»XXXXXXAlexander and MikaylaXXXXXX«« Mikayla rumaged around their stuff. Alexander shot her a look, she nodded and continued searching. She pulled out a lighter and a pack of cigarettes. "We don't carry alcohol, but here are the other two things. And, about going ahead. We will accept if you really wish it." She didn't like to leave an injured person behind, but what was she to do? He was very insistant. Plus, Alexander was okay with it.

"I could handle myself, but if you would rather I come along, okay. But I'll probably slow the trip down. I can walk, but I'll probably need alot of rest time. And it'll be harder to be stealthy in such a group, we'll see more raiders along the paths... I suggest we go off in twos, but two injured men might not make for much of a challenge." Art said, leaning forward, reaching his hand out. "I hate to take your cigarettes, and lighter, but I'm running low. I can't gather my own things until we hit town. I'll need to explain for Lars about the explosion, and let them know the stock probably didn't survive." He knew he'd need the ability to stay calm now, more then before. To focus. "I'm still surprised you two can survive out here in the Wastelands without any weapons at all. No guns, nothing? Not even a blunt object? What do you do if you run into Deathclaws? Or Behemoths?"

XXXXXXXXXX »»XXXXXXAlexander and MikaylaXXXXXX«« "We travel slowly anyway. It will be no problem." Mikayla said, dropping the items into his outstretched hand. Alexander gave Mikayla a sly glance. Curious to know if she'd tell him their secret. "Oh you know. We just wing it. But, we're hardly ever in a fight. We know how to travel." She gave Arthur a brief, yet vague description of their usual fighting. She let a hint or two in, maybe he could figure it out. "I'm curious to know how you travel with all of the weapons. Aren't they heavy? Don't they weigh you down during travel?"
Alexander grinned at Mikki's description. It was her usual one. The one she told everyone who asked that. He wasn't sure whether or not she would tell this man, Arthur, the real reason. He thought that she trusted this him, this man. But that couldn't be. She doesn't trust anyone. But me, of course. He thought. He let his gaze slip towards Arthur. He was curious to know when he would ask the question. The one everyone asked. The one about why he didn't - doesn't - talk.

Art then put away the cigarette and lighter in his vest, smiling slightly. He leaned back. "I only carry two weapons on me at all times. My hunting rifle so I can bag dinner, and my crowbar. Yes, I carry plenty of ammo, but ammo's light. They don't weigh me down much. And we used to have a Brahmin to do the heavy lifting. Those Raiders know no laws, so I guess it's best that I'm the one to face them. Your friend is awfully quiet, but you two seem to know what you're doing. Oh, and a response to your weight question, a few things help out when I do carry too much. One, is called Buffout. It helps out greatly. Alcohol helps, too. So, yeah." He closed his eyes, leaning against the rock. "You two get some dinner, and share with Lars if he wakes up. I'm going to get some sleep."

XXXXXXXXXX »»XXXXXXAlexander and MikaylaXXXXXX«« Mikayla thought about what he said for a bit. Was it really helpful to carry things that would slow you down?She shook her head, saving those thoughts for later. Alexander scooted over to her noiselessly. Mikayla handed him a few pieces of nourishment, taking some for herself. They left the rest, a substantial amount, for Lars and Arthur. Each taking a few sips from the water, they sat back against the rock face. The wind was blowing lightly outside, the sky was growing darker. There were some ominous clouds on the horizon. "Surely that couldn't hit us, right?" She asked Alexander uncertainly.
Alexander looked at the clouds, they weren't moving too fast. It was highly unlikely that they would hit them. "I doubt it, Mikki. They're moving slowly. They'll probably be here by tomorrow, mid-afternoon. Hopefully we'll all be gone by then. Don't worry, I'll be here to protect you." He said, putting a reassuring arm around her. He actually wasn't so sure, but it was best that she stay calm now. No need to draw unnecessary attention to themselves.

As Art was having a dream about several fights he has been in, about all the jobs he has done, all the bad he's done, along with the good. He seemed to have dosed off quickly.
Lars was coming to, he rolled onto his back. "What happened?" He mumbled at the two that seemed to be awake. He couldn't feel his injury due to Art's medical guidance. He pushed himself up from the ground, having some clear difficulty.

XXXXXXXXXX »»XXXXXXAlexander and MikaylaXXXXXX«« Mikayla and Alexander looked at Lars curiously. He woke up quickly in relation to his extensive injury. Though, he probably wasn't able to feel anything because of the Med-X. "Well, we were attacked by raiders, I guess it was. You were injured, as was Arthur. We've patched you up, searched through the ruins and taken what was left. We have some dinner for you." Mikayla said with a smile, handing him a large pile of food. She gave him the rest of the water, too. "If you need anything else, just ask. We'll get it if we can." She said. She'd put some food aside for Arthur when he woke up.
Alexander looked at Mikki with a funny look. It was a very short, but insightful, explaination. She usually gave very detailed explainations. He guessed that she was tired. He wrapped his other arm around her, she let herself be comforted. Her head fell tiredly onto his shoulder. Though, they both knew that she couldn't sleep yet. There still might be talking that needed to be done.

Lars got himself up a bit and said, "Arthur's always making sure others got something, even when he don't. Seems like he worries more about others, then himself. From what he's told me, he's had some simple, low key jobs, and some important ones. Sometimes I wonder why he travels with me, seems like he's got bigger things he's needed for." He began to eat a small bit, and drink some water. He had a good feeling of what happened. He looked over at the sleeping Arthur and saw the knife shaped wound. "So, did he kill the raiders this time? He rarely does that, usually just disarms them and lets them get away."
Art was still sleeping, moved slowly from a sitting sleeping position to laying on the ground. He rolled over, seemingly oblivious to the world around him. He seemed to have a hard time sleeping.
