Aiden returned the smile, as he wasn't in the habit of not returning the smile of pretty girls, of course he wasn't exactly in the habit of being smiled at by pretty girls either....

Aiden waited as the others spoke, carefully listening to every word that they said in case it came in handy later. They made some valid points, and the one holding the jar seemed very confident that this task would be easy enough for all of them to handle together, but Aiden wasn't so sure, after making sure the wet-looking one had finished he spoke up saying almost directly to Hope "I think we'd all like some more information, specifically what these things you want us to hunt down can do, and how we shove them back into the box, if you expect us to fight this war, then I suspect that having all the knowledge we can get our hands on is one of the best ways to arm ourselves." Aiden slumped down and sat with his back against a tree as he finished speaking, waiting and looking at Hope pointedly.
