Memories of how they grew the group's comradiry through a baptism of fire, even at the loss of some of their limbs. But they were alive, and both Than and himself were doing better. Alexander kept his smile on Thana before looking down at his prosthethic leg, shaking it a little bit. [color=662d91]"Oh, this ol' thing? Yeah, it's a whole lot better than the piece of wood we ducktaped to my leg. Your grease monkeys really knows their stuff."[/color] Alexander turned back to Ash after showing of his leg, briefly taken back by something he had not expected; the soldier thanked him. At first Alexander didn't quite understand why Ash thanked him, giving Manny a somewhat confused look before it finally clicked with him; The mission. Eden. That was a long time ago, back when the Earth cracked open and many people died. Good and bad people. Alexander remembered Ash on the other side of that chasm, and now it made sense. Alexander gave Ash a smaller smile, though with pride in his eyes as he half-saluted the fellow soldier. [color=662d91]"Don't mention it Ash. Soldiers, old and young have to fulfull their mission somehow. This we'll defend."[/color] Alexander's smile returned when Ash continued talking about Alice Cooper, prompting the man a chuckle. [color=662d91]"Now that's a cover I'd like to see."[/color] Thana's pointing out of Shears and Moralez "Goatman" and the start of the sort of music Alexander hadn't even dreamed of for years, much less sought after, gave the old veteran the cue for at least him to leave. Thana and Ash were having a moment together, one that was more important than the ramblings of two old men. Alexander smiled at both the youngsters enjoying their company and a drink. [color=662d91]"Thanks, catch you two later then. Drink safely."[/color] Alexander told them, sounding like a kind, yet protective grandfather before he nodded to Manny and began sauntering away. The party was well on the way with music and drinks. [color=662d91]"Moralez looks busy, so I'll go say hello to Shears you you don't mind?"[/color] Alexander was already on his way to where Thana had pointed out Shears standing with a couple of people. He did in the least recognize the two younger girls from quarantine, one of the poor ones having her hair shaven clean off, though she looked better now. Alexander waddled slowly up to the group, making sure not to interrupt whatever conversation they were having until he felt that he wouldn't be bothering them. [color=662d91]"Well at least the music's not dead yet. Haven't quite heard anything like that before…"[/color] he opened with, before looking at the three of them and smiling kindly. [color=662d91]"Amelia and Riley, right? Much better out in fresh air, isn't it? And Shears? Atticus said that you and Moralez would be living with me and Manny onwards. Thought it best to say hello while I could. Alexander, heard you like cards?"[/color] [hr][hr][center][h1][color=#B8860B]Nigel "Hadrian" Cooper[/color][/h1] [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/a1cc83e9b2978d2fdac2dbf75331a3c0/tumblr_o0v5arjK7b1rt41dxo1_400.gif[/img][/center] [hr][center][b][color=#B8860B]Location:[/color][/b] Camp Mexico Beach: M10 -> L11 (Beach, Fire Pits) [color=#B8860B][b]Skills:[/b][/color] N/A [/center][hr][hr] Nigel let out a breath of winded air after that little run. Being locked up in Quarantine for a week without any real excercise had already taken its toll on Nigel, much to his surprise. Then again it could have been the humid air that was messing with his lungs more accustomed to the climate further north, or just the sight of the large crowd of survivors. Living people. Party attenders. Nigel nodded in agreement with Erica, letting his gaze wander over the beach at the unbelievable sight. [color=#B8860B]"A whole lot, haven't seen so many for years. Certainly not in a mood like this."[/color] Nigel quiped back to her, slowly coming to terms that this was not just any settlement. This place worked. It really did. Jumping slightly out of his skin at the sudden, loud sounds coming from the stage, Nigel had not expected the music to be as loud as it turned out. The music itself he didn't have anything against, certainly not when the crowd seemed to have the grandest of times. Nigel nearly forgot Erica for a moment before she nudged him, so he turned in a brief but pleasent surprsie to see her still standing by his side. [color=#B8860B]"You'll never get a "no" out of me if food is involved. Really tonight I'm up for anything, haven't seen anything like this…it's amazing."[/color] Nigel was struck by the sight, shaking his head as if not believing his own eyes. But what he saw was true, what he heard and smelled was true, so it had to be. [color=#B8860B]"Hell, I'd even like to dance if they play something good…and something I can dance to."[/color] Nigel continued, looking at Erica with a smile before looking where she had pointed. Food, right. Nigel made his way down to where the fire was burning joyfully in the night. Surrounding it were at least a couple of people Nigel recognized, although only Thalia he remembered by name. The man he thought had arrived the same time as Ash's woman, though the name escaped him. They were conversing, and so Nigel only gave them a nod and a brief wave as if to say "I'm not going to interrupt you, just standing here by the fire. Don't mind me and her.".
