She caught the soda Gerard sent her way, sticking her tongue out in gratitude. Before she could open her next dose of sugary goodness however, she noticed movement in her peripheral vision. Silje turned, staring directly into the barrel of a gun. It was Kalina, serious as ever, ready to eliminate whatever threat she mistook her fireworks for. Silje waved her soda at her friend, but whatever feeling that was supposed to convey, if any, was left unclear. The soda didn't make it far out of the can before they met another pothole. [center]-[/center] As much as Silje had enjoyed their ride, getting to actually move her legs was a refreshing change of pace. She stretched every limb in every way she could think of, looking like a woman possessed as she furled and unfurled herself on repeat. Her legs itched from where she'd concentrated Mist on, and she kept scratching as she walked up to the others. [color=a1e1fd]"Seems boring,"[/color] she commented idly, taking in both their surroundings and her friends' comments.[color=a1e1fd] "Sleeping in a mineshaft would be cooler!"[/color] Tony broke off from the rest and started towards a nearby store. Silje, with the contents of her last can still soaking through her shirt, followed suit. She needed to restock too, and maybe find some snacks. She was browsing through a rack of magazines, sidetracked from her original quest, when she heard Tony's sudden burst of laughter from the counter. She raised her gaze from the upside-down magazine she didn't remember having picked up, and smiled. Oh, wow, Tony was making friends! And one of them was-- oh, she had to tell Kalina-! Silje peeked back out of the store, looked around until she found who she was looking for, and started wildly gesturing behind her with a rolled up magazine.[color=a1e1fd] "Kali, Kali, come look, Tony's making friends! And one of them is just as clueless about jokes as you are. [i]Look[/i], that big one over there, the one that looks like he's been ran over by a buffalo!"[/color] If she'd [i]meant [/i]to make matters worse, her genuinely cheery tone gave none of it away.
