With the exception of Regina’s injuries, their group had come out of the conflict without worse for wear. Speaking of those same injuries, he took the time to put his gaze on Regina curiously for a few moments before turning back to the gory scene in front of him. And what a scene it was, red coating almost everyone in sight. Though he had a feeling Leblanc may have enjoyed her new “war paint” and maybe even Clean too if that yell was to be accounted for. At least they wouldn’t be going starving on this night. As the fires were put up and camp was set, the cadets would enjoy a good meal together under the darkness of the ruins. When morning finally came, Gradon set about to preparing himself for whatever the rest of the journey had in store. Whatever had spooked those Rocs couldn’t have been too far off so they were getting close to their target. [color=ed1c24]“What’s going on here?”[/color] he asked when he regrouped with the others. Apparently, Viola had spotted something in the distance, of which she described as a glint. Gradon frowned, not liking the implications of what it could be. [color=ed1c24]“We’re in the middle of old ruins and nature so I don’t think we should be seeing too many glinting objects out here…. it’s most likely a trap,”[/color] he said. The others seemed to agree and soon enough a scouting party was put together. Gradon called out for Natus and Regina to follow Leblanc in leading the scouting party, before considering Szeren’s words. [color=ed1c24]“Yes, that’s a good idea. You go with them too, Szeren,”[/color] he said, giving the group of four two individuals of stealth and now two back up fire. [color=ed1c24]“I agree that a counter ambush should be the best solution. Therefore, the scout group can lead them out while everyone else follows close behind. Whatever the best solution is, be it smoking the enemy out or by other means can be decided by the scout group among themselves. After all, we don’t know if it’s friend or foe over there,”[/color] he said, looking at the four assigned to the task. [color=ed1c24]“Whatever you do, we’ll act according and we’ll be ready.”[/color]
