	Alexander nodded along in deliberate silence to Aeron, looking at him with a knowing look to what he said. [color=662d91]"Closure is better than the uncertainty, that I'm onboard with you 100 percent."[/color] the old veteran sighed, feeling the very essence of that word they used; closure. There were many chapters in Alexander's life that had been closed, most of them with a satisfactory end as much as closure could give; the loss of his father, his friends, his leg…the list went on. They troubled him too, but some chapters ended with just the pages torn out. Scraps, scars left behind in an unfinished book. 

	Closure would be good. Perhaps he then could move on…

	Alexander listened with open ears to Aeron's tale of his family, his own loss and the others, knowing what his fellow old man from the old world felt as he uttered those words. The details were new to him, especially to Alexander the fact that Thana had a twin sister. The question he asked himself mentally of what she looked like was thankfully not spoken out, Alexander mentally slapping himself, leaving the family-talk for later. And then it was her little brother. Even Alexander, a single child, could imagine the loss. 

	[color=662d91]"She does? Well, I suppose dragging my sorry ass across Georga and Florida does that to you…"[/color] Alexander joked, though it felt somewhat forced with his gaze instinctively went down to his peg-leg. They grew close, yes, but not out of kindness. It was desperation and not leaving an old grandpa for dead, one leg less. Pity, that was the word he looked for. Pity for an old man. Alexander sighed, looking back up at Aeron and trying to find any joy in what he said - in what Thana said. [color=662d91]"Definietly a Brother in Arms, I would've fought with her back in 'Nam any time. I'm just glad she is here, alive and well. We all went through a lot to get back to that Ashton and his people, and all of us safely here. Like I said, I'll do my part to repay that debt, General Sir."[/color]

	Nigel had clearly not prepared himself well enough for the onslaught of new information that was coming his way. One thing was the talk of the game of D and D, but to hear of the Professor - called Edna for the newcomer that himself had forsaken his old name of "Hadrian" - and her passion for said game was eye-opening for him. Like one of the three cave-dwellers new let loose into the real world to see what caused the shadows on the cave wall, Nigel had to come to terms with the fact that his fellow educator had another side.

	Both confused, yet relieved, Nigel tried to process all of this information. Perhaps he was not as strange to this new land as he feared?

	The neo-Roman could barely understand half of what Rosie educated onto Nigel, all the numbers and "checks" sinking into a Germanic bog without any context. Apparently Rosie however understood where Nigel was coming from, and the young lady Amelia clearly had a better understanding of the strange game. Nigel didn't say much, simply doing his best to hang onto the Byzantine chariot that was the talk of absurd characters and…You know what, Nigel was both bamboozled and intruiged. [color=#B8860B]"I see. Perhaps I'll stick with swords for th moment, real swords I mean."[/color]

	More people appeared at the table of strange tales when Manny, one of the two elder survivors approached to speak with Amelia. Had they been talking to each other before, or worked together? Why else would Manny approach her, when Nigel himself hadn't gotten to know many others so far. Or perhaps he was bad at making friends? Possibly. Anyway dogs had been involved…wait, dogs?

	[color=#B8860B]"I'm sorry to throw myself in-between you, but did you say dog? You don't mean the dog belonging to Hunter…Has anything happened?"[/color]
