Lee put his feet up as he watched Verelik walk further and further from the safe walls of Fireflies. As the morning progressed, Lee and Dillan talked about various things, laughed over Emma's antics, discussed Fay's bike riding skills, walked their rounds and eventually came back to their posts again. Lee leaned his elbows on the wall and scanned the outside fields. He saw some dust clouds far away, indicating Roaches were out there. Too far though, so Lee figured they were good for now. He kept scanning as Dillan spoke about being hungry. He chuckled warmly as his partner told him about his breakfast, or lack thereof.  [color=#257dce]”Well, an effort was made."[/color] a cheeky grin spread across his face as he stretched out his long limbs.  [color=#257dce]”If you want, I can ask Fay to teach her some cooking. You know Fay cooks really well."[/color] Lee offered.

Fay waved at the people on the streets. People getting lunch, having a walk or just taking a relaxing moment in the sun. The sun was right over the settlement by now, and it had started to turn quite warm. Thankfully, Fay decided to wear a dress this morning. She had to hold the hem of it as she biked through the streets of the settlement, towards the wall her brother was posted on today. She thought about the delicious tea she made, still warm in the canister, and his favorite sandwich. She also took the time to make Dillan's favorite, Lee had once told her what it was. 

She smiled as she turned into Main Street, but it faltered shortly when she spotted Astor knocking on a door in the street. She vaguely remembered that to be Michelle’s house. Something inside her, for only a second, wanted that to be her door. If Fay was really honest to herself, she’d know that she really misses Astor. She had worked at the Pub for years, Astor was almost always there too. But now that she quit, or well, only works there on busy holidays, she doesn’t see him anymore. But, of course she’s not honest to herself, and so she tugs the feeling away and biked confidently through the street. When she almost passed him, she took the hand that was holding her skirt from her leg and waved at him. Her dress flew up a little, so she quickly put her hand back. [color=#8fbc8f]““Hey Astor!”[/color] The young teacher smiled at the man before biking further along the street. When she turned the corner, she relaxed again.

As she arrived at the outer wall gates, she rang her bell, signaling her brother.

Lee heard a familiar bell and looked down to wall to see his lovely sister standing there. He heard her call up up, holding two packages in her hand. He smiled as he saw she made for Dillan too.  [color=#257dce]”We’re coming down!”[/color]
