"Hey-soldiers-good things-owe-Very sweet" then he proceeded to get serious and say things in such a way that he was reminded of his little chat with MacKenzie earlier. Geez was this a James appreciation day or something? What with this many people coming out of nowhere to thank him, truth be told maybe he could get accustomed to this, it certainly didn't feel [i]bad[/i] just embarrassing and awkward... better not ake it a habit then. [color=6ecff6]"Don't worry about that dude, we are fine, you needed help and I was there so it's no big deal" [/color] He was also vulnerable as a result of trying to follow his orders but before he could say anything more MacKenzie passed by their side and muttered the same damming statement of before with an amused smile on her lips. Letting out a chuckle at Zell's bemused face and question [color=6ecff6]"Earlier on the way here we were chatting a little and I decided to tease her a little, she took exception to that and whined about how you and I didn't act like 'gentleman' unlike Adam" [/color] Ha, just remembering it was enough to make him amused [color=6ecff6]"All in good fun and she wasn't serious I think" [/color]. Looking at the log next to the other 'seats' he decided that it was time to take care of the place of sleep and went to set up the bedrolls.
