The crackshot's wish to travel with a group took Saerena by surprise.  His previous lone wolf attitude had almost surely indicated that a companionship was unlikely.  Saerena overheard the his orb mention his inability to quickly recover, followed by Marcus's reluctant change in tactics.  Though she was unsure who had heard, she figured as much herself.  Snipers are bred for long range encounters.  A direct charge left them vulnerable.  Honestly, Saerena doubted she would've faired much better.  "G-got...got anymore room?" Marcus' stuttered as he looked away, obviously unhappy.  Upon his request came others from the witch and the samurai, suddenly making the possibility of a strong team very real.  

	However, Saerena herself was still unsure of splitting into groups.  Wouldn't one main force be stronger?  [color=ed1c24][i]But if I had to,[/i][/color] she thought, [color=ed1c24][i]there would be none better than these.[/i][/color]  The team would be well-balanced and have fewer flaws.  [i][color=ed1c24]Is this right?[/color][/i] she asked herself, not quite yet accustomed to receiving an answer. [i][color=f26522]It would be most wise.[/color][/i] came the response, seemingly from the air.  [color=ed1c24]"So be it."[/color] she said aloud.      

Saerena sighed as she looked at their faces, beaming after a solid victory (apart from Marcus), though perhaps Theo was just excited to be living in a tent / condo combo.  She wondered what she would've been doing now, had all this not happened.  The thought erased her uncertainty.  [color=ed1c24]"I'm game.  What do you think, Theo?"[/color] she asked as she smiled at him, [color=ed1c24]"want to team up?[/color]
