Seph kept his eye on each of the other members of Sean's unit. One held a long-range rifle, with what looked like a high-powered scope. Sniper. ~We've got specialists here, Nyl. Sniper, Demolitions, the works. Don't talk to Drake right now. He's acting funny.~ Seph watched Drake carefully, as well. The directions he was working on were beginning to make his head hurt.

~You're inside, you deal with Drake. I'll deal with whatever happens out here.~

~And what makes y-~ He cut himself off before shaking his head and moving towards the couch slowly. He looked over it, nodding his head to the side. ~..Drake, it's me, Seph. You doin' okay?~ He synced his mind-speak with his lips, so it appeared that he was speaking the words.

"Iffen Sarya's nae 'ere...hmm.. Nae princess ain?....We're 'ere to make sure summat dinnae 'appen tae him on the return trip. Ouir cont'ry just finished a war, an' 'e opposin' forces dinnae want the New Gov'nt to be established."
The girl in the jeep gives a sigh, racking the bolt on her submachine gun.
Conall laughs and begins to sing.
" Kiss the Auld Mother and hug the Auld Man,
Give Johnny a shilling and shake hands with Dan,
Fight f'er me country and do all I can,
Then I go out with me girl Molly Anne."
The girl smiled then, looking a lot calmer.
"Thank you, Conall. Singing always calms me down." She brushes her hair out of the way of her nametag: 'Molly Astore.'
Conall just smiles and shrugs.

"Oh." I'm going to have to risk this one. They can't just leave...knowing where we are. "You're here...for a peaceful thing, right?"
~What, Seph?~

" H'oh, aye. I'm 'ere tae make sure the heir takes 'e throne. 'Tis all."
He smiles politely.
"Iffen I be a bother, I kin retairn later..."

*Drake watched as Seph spoke to him and slowly crawled out from behind the couch, awkwardly lifting himself up onto his feet trying to mimick Seph's posture, but made sure to keep his distance*
Draaagh... drah... drakh.
...
Draykuh.
*Drake held up one of his hands at eye level and looked into his open palm*
... Drakkh. Mh... Mh Drkh. Meeehfh Draaykh.

~I cut myself off for a reason, Nyl. Decided it was wiser not to finish that statement right now.~ Seph looked at Drake and nodded.
~Right, Drake. Do you know where you are?~ Again, he lip-synced.

"It's funny, really." Nyl stared out at the falling snow again. "You mention the heir taking the throne, and Reeve needing to go to his coronation...but you never mention Reeve and the heir being the same person." She looked at Sean, her eyes now clear and not at all deceived.

Sean gives an exasperated groan.
"Dammit...y'forced me tae this."
He presses the button on his headset, barking an order.
"Conall, saight! Saight!" ((fire))
Back in the woods, Conall doesn't respond, instead squaring his scope on Nyl, and squeezing the trigger. He is wordless, though it's obvious he's not pleased at firing on a woman.

Jeennhaaaay...
*Drake's memory started flooding back, but he didn't quite understand the memories. It seemed almost surreal. As his memory returned his eyes seemed to gain a new level of awareness.*
... Sph?
*Drake walked cautiously up to Seph and sniffed around him. Then Drake dropped into a less defensive stance. The familiar smell seemed to be comforting to him. He continued to walk past Seph and then dashed out the door and sniffed Nyl.*
... yl...
*Then Drake's nose caught the unfamiliar scent of the strange man that nyl was conversing with. Drake's face turned into a scowl and he growled lowly as he backed back into the dojo and crouched slightly behind Seph.*

Nyl stepped toward Sean, far enough that the bullet would miss her. She was barely another step away from him now.
"Forced?" She laughed quietly. "You haven't seen force."

" Och, nae lass. I'm nae dumb tae y'er ninja tricks."
He pulls none other than Reeve's short Caster from his holster with a leathery scrape and levels it at her, a dagger in his off- hand.

Seph heard the gunshot, and his eyes narrowed. He looked to Drake, then to the doors. He narrowed his eyes. There would be no more shots fired. Seph snapped his fingers.
The tip of the barrel on the Sniper's rifle closed up instantly, red-hot. The rest of the long shaft followed suit.

Ah, the familiar threat of lightning.
Nyl looked at the weapon, holding up one hand. The metal it was made of began to warp, largely from heat, and twist to point upward, so it would be unusable.
"Leave before I have to hurt someone." An ice knife had formed in her left hand - currently her stronger one.
