Percy was simply watching and listening to the group talk amongst themselves - just like before. His thoughts were focused on his daughter and the stress she had previously went through. If anyone happened to be paying attention to him in that moment, they would have seen it on his face. Nothing can really hide the concern of a father. He listened more intently when the two drivers had Jan explain that he's basically a mercenary tagging along for the ride. [color=d3d3d3][i]What a joke[/i][/color], he seethed wordlessly. [color=d3d3d3][i]Just doing this for the money, all for your own selfish gain. Prick.[/i][/color] He looked down to his feet, trying to hide the disgust on his face.. He wouldn't admit this to himself, but he's not completely just either. He came into this for the same reason - money. But it's for his [i]kid.[/i] [color=00a651]"What's your deal, 'big P'?"[/color], Alexandria inquired, while looking at the rear-view mirror, specifically at Percy. [color=00a651]"Thinking about deep things?"[/color] Percy jumped slightly when he heard Alexandria's voice. When Alex continued to look at him, he first went to respond, but decided it was better to just shake his head so then his honest feelings didn't just spill out in front of the people that are still practically strangers to him. [color=00a651]"So. ... How's Ana doing?"[/color] [color=d3d3d3]"How do you [i]think[/i] she's doing?"[/color] Percy asked shortly - she obviously just pushed a button.. and not a good one. [color=00a651]"Well, considering it all, probably a bit shell-shocked. Damn, how old is she? And she's already going to have nightmares about things... I feel sorry for the girl."[/color] Percy couldn't believe the nerve of this bitch. How dare she- Percy snapped, [color=d3d3d3]"Well, it's not [i]my[/i] fault-"[/color] he had to force himself to bite his tongue - figuratively, of course - before he could finish that thought completely. His jaw was tense from where he was clenching his teeth together to keep himself from saying [i]exactly[/i] what he thought of all of this. [color=00a651]"Well... think of this as... a bit of a new beginning. Your NC, Joe's, and Elizabeth's all had upgrades. With those, you'll probably be able to get some payment from whoever orchestrated that. Plus, you have [i]seen[/i] the 'outskirts' of the city right? We have gigantic walls, and they're covered in turrets. I think we won't have to worry about that happening again for a long time."[/color] [color=d3d3d3][i]Tell that to my kid, jackass.[/i][/color] Percy's facial expression just showed just how done he was with this conversation. [color=00aeef]"Alexandria, you should shush. Just her way of saying sorry about what happened, Percy."[/color] Percy's expression softened, but only slightly. At least someone has a little bit of sense in this insane world.. next to himself, of course. [color=00aeef]"So.. this gonna be an awkward drive of angst, then? Thanks Alex, how thoughtful. If you guys don't give a shit I'm gonna put on some [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLoytewvn0g]Midge Ure[/url]. Well.. a cover of another song, but whatever."[/color] [color=00a651]"Why do you love that stuff? Can you at least put in earplugs?"[/color] [color=00aeef]"Sure thing."[/color] Bill plugged in some earplugs and stook one in his ear. Some sweet musics could be very faintly heard, if you believed hard enough. Amusingly, Bill slightly moved, hummed, and sometimes mumbled along to the song.[color=00aeef]"We never lost control..."[/color]
