"Alright Ivan... Listen up." Raven said in a whisper. "I don't know how these guys will react to us if we show ourselves. They're mercenaries of a certain faction I believe, meaning they aren't automatically good guys or bad guys as a whole. Just guys, based on their emblems. We have two choices... I could go out alone, but they might be startled and attack. But if you approached them with me, they are less likely to be intimidated by a man who's traveling with a child. If I die, your survival becomes significantly more difficult."

"Oh yeah, there's a third option as well. Leave these lads alone. But they could also be our source of survival."

"So what do you think, kid? If you think my decision-making is so stupid, then you decide what we do here."
