Through out the ride back to base, Lilly barely moved, much less slept. She just sort of sat there in a trance, barely even noticing when one of the more altruistic squad members used their ragnaid and some bandages on her wounded back. "Thank you..." Was all that she managed to choke out in response. The shock of having to kill, nearly being killed multiple times, and then running for her life across a city had reduced her to the shell of a person, her personality having withdrawn to avoid further mental damage. She was exhausted, terrified and shaking, hugging her knees as she curled up in the far back corner of the APC. The only thing that jolted her out of her catatonic state, was when Sergeant Harald nudged her and informed her that it was her turn to take watch. Nodding slightly, she stood up and slowly staggered to the front of the APC, barely avoiding tripping over her sleeping squad mates. Despite her withdrawn state, she was still able to act as an effective lookout, even if she was quiet when she voiced concerns about possible sightings. Fortunately they were all false alarms. ... or maybe she imagined them...

Her lookout shift was coming to an end just as they pulled into Fort Breda, so Lilly remained perched in the hatch until everyone else started to dismount and gather around the Sergeant. When he offered to buy them all something from the NAAFI, Lilly tiredly pulled herself out of the hatch and landed heavily on the ground, nearly collapsing from the impact. Dragging her feet as she slowly followed after them into the squat little building, she secured them a table in a corner, while the rest of the squad went with Harald. When they returned, she asked in a shaky voice: "I-is that it, Sergeant? ... Are we safe?" Upon receiving confirmation of this, she slumped back in her chair, leaning her head against the wall. "Thank the Valkyrur..." It looked like the weight of the world had been lifted off of Lilly, and her nervous shakes died down to allow her to resume her usual, much more serene appearance. Within a minute, she was fast asleep in her chair, the exhaustion from the past 24 hours catching up to her.
