Raven watched the group as they laid down their weapons and a look of almost surprise crossed her eyes. She looked at them for a moment before returning the arrow to its quiver and held the bow loosely in one hand before she smiled slightly. “Autumn hu? I’d make some kind of joke, asking if your parents were hippies or something, but I suppose Raven isn’t much better is it?” She looked around at the group and then back to Sophia. “Yeah, Star was a circus show pony, you know, before all this.” She looked at the group for a moment before shaking her head.

“Look… it doesn’t matter if you guys really were just passing through, that you meant no harm, the fact that I got you all to surrender is… a little concerning. I’d say sorry for threatening you, but you can never be too careful.” She bent over and picked up the gun, handing it back to Sophia. “Never let your guard down.” Strange, that she was so openly ignoring her own advice, but Raven figured if these guys had meant her harm they would have done so already, same as she probably would have shot them if she had intended to already.

But it looked like a group of three girls, one of them a kid and a young man. She would have felt a little bad taking him out. She could see the young girl, Ashley, looking at Star and she smiled softly. “It’s alright, you can come and pet her if you like. Sophia is right, she’s a very calm girl, she’s used to being around kids.” Turning back to the others her look became a little more serious. “So where are you guys headed? Do you have a plan or something?” It was still early days, but a group like this would need some kind of plan if they had any hope of surviving.
