Pretty reasonable statement. Elliot nodded at the woman's answer with a knowing grin and inclined his head to the albino who remained mostly silent. [b][color=0072bc]"Grace, what's your assessment of Private Dwight?"[/color] [color=f7941d]"He's as awkward as awkward can be."[/color] [color=0072bc]"So, he's toast, then?"[/color] [color=f7941d]"Yes, Elliot."[/color][/b] He nodded again with an "Alright.", looking into the tent-that-was-a-dive to check his progress. Yup, he was really struggling to get by in there. Maybe a step-and-a-half from tripping himself up. Thank [i]god[/i] he'd asked for something bottled. Anything else, he'd spill on someone's lap with that place going down the way it is. Elliot then arrived at a decision. [b][color=0072bc]"Okay, Grace. It's up to you now. You know what to do."[/color] [color=f7941d]"Right."[/color][/b] Basic step of any mess tent or drinking place out here was simple: The food and drink, along with the one serving it all was in the back, away from the entrance so they could see the people coming and going. That meant that the supplies were against the back 'wall', which was just canvas or tarp, not anything solid. Grace was heading around back to sneak her way in to get a beer and a soda ahead of Dwight. While she did this, Elliot was whipping out his codebook to mess with - it actually SAID 'Secret Codebook' - but quickly looked up when he heard a female voice asking someone around where to find- [b][color=0072bc]"Ah, Whitaker's in town. So much for downtime. Just as well. I could use a chance to get a little revenge for today. Bastards..."[/color][/b] Whoever that was asking for Whitaker, he had to scoff just a bit. The Times? What the hell does the news want out here, where life is in the shitter? He then looked over at the as-of-yet unidentified woman nearby and asked... [b][color=0072bc]"Hey, you know any Walker pilots needin' some time outside? The 'Congs are gettin' smart around the foot-patrols and I need someone to go stomping around ta' show 'em what's what."[/color][/b]
