Gale never strays too far from the group, but he remains somber and seperate on the journey back to Hammond, flyng within view and paying the attention he needs to pay while looking out for threats. Birds can't cry but his feathers are tight against his body and his posture shows how deeply troubled...

As the Broadkill leaves, Timothy will look at Fell. "This isn't over. AND WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SPEECH? TOUGHEST CYBORG EVER? MOST POWERFUL MIND MELTER? HE LEACHES SO MUCH, IT'S THE SHITS OF THE BRAIN I CAN HEAR IT! AND I'M NOTHING BUT METAL!" Timothy breaths deeply after that brief rant...

Her offer boils down to 'we can be friends, but if you don't do what I want we'll leave you to die.' She could be lying about there being more coalition forces in the area.

If it's only two it's not a problem, but where there are two there are usually more... Gale flies higher (if possible) and holds his action, looking for more potential sources of trouble.

Sayeen is noble and heroic to the point of being blindly naive and hopeful.
