Elliot sat with one of the injured soldiers and was changing his dressings. She smiled at him, he'd gotten shot in the stomach and was in a bit of pain. She remembered it well, but she had had Jacob with her, someone to talk to and ease the pain. She looked at the man when she finished, "It sucks doesn't it?"

The man looked at her surprised, she hadn't spoken a word since she sat down. He laughed a little and nodded, "That doesn't begin to explain..."

Elliot sat with the man for sometime, just talking.
