Taran felt his cheeks flush red. Alone...in a small boat...with Winter? The very person he had spent  all day and night trying to avoid? Granted Prince and Winston would be there as well, but still.  He was debating asking what level of injured would excused one from the mission.  Was a broken leg enough? Or would one still be expected to perform? 

He heard Winter speak and  he half expected Winter to disagree with the two of them being on the same team, but it never came. Perhaps he was getting too worked up, maybe she just thought of the neckless as a gift from a friend...which they were...right? Or maybe she didn't mind him...maybe she wanted them to be...in the boat...together...with Prince and Winston.  Despite the flaw in his logic, the thought did make him perk up slightly. 

[color=39b54a]"Alright, fine, drop me into certain death guys, what is it? Tuesday already?"[/color] Said Taran, finally having processed enough of the conversation to have something to say about it. [color=39b54a]"But, in all serouseness Cap'in, you can count on me and Prince to save the day, amIright? Up top!"[/color] He held out his hand to the captain, expecting a high five with a grin on his face.  When all he got was a glare, he kept the grin going [color=39b54a]"Well, that is alright, self five it is,"[/color] He brought his hands together in front of his face creating a loud clapping sound.  Taran then brought his hands down to his lap, looking very pleased with himself.
