[b][i]Intermission Five - Aftermath of Victory (Not a GM Post)[/i][/b]

Bahram could tell Levi liked him enough not to pull away, and even to talk a little. So his next words were, "Some of us have been tasked with giving humanitarian aid; food, water, medicine, blankets, and for the kids who had to endure war, toys and candy - I have a sample, if you want!"

He then pulled out a plastic bag colored United Nations blue labeled "Hershey's", and said, "Try it; it's not poisoned, I promise!"

The 17-year-old tried not to notice the black-haired volunteer close by; he wanted to spend more time with Levi!

But on the other hand, would Levi think badly of him if he ignored the other volunteer ahead of him, plus the mission? That, and he recognized the other guy, Broken Sword PMC's soldiers had been hired by the Seven Virtues to take out his employers, but not target him - He was an innocent victim, according to Chastity. Well, best to keep it secret that he knew; he did not want it to look like he was holding it over [i]Lukas[/i]. 

"Levi..." Bahram turned his attention back to the other brunette, "It's New Year's Day. Wanna celebrate after we finish joining up with Task Force Obsidian?"

Some civilian volunteers were distributing newspapers in English, Tagalog/Filipino, and a few other languages; Bahram would take one and exclaim loud enough that Lukas could hear, "Whoa; it seems the US is debating if they should enter the war! Must be the rebellion in China... You know there's a rebellion in China now, though?"
